In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.
This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe
produced by Musk’s SpaceX but managed by the US government, was no longer working at speeds greater than 100mph.
That effectively rendered most of the drones used by Ukraine to strike behind the frontlines inoperable
Such a specific way to sabotage Ukraine. They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.
They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.
Those are the same thing. Ukraine wasn’t using it to shit post on X.
You can’t think of another way a country would need internet access other than high speed drones and shit posting?
Even worse that they did it not just without warning, but without even a “hey we shut you off”. Just, system switch cut off.
And as others have said, not even remotely surprising at this point.
I’ve been dumbfounded at the US since the start of the year but I think this marks the moment where they are openly on Russia’s side against the West. Dangerous times. I’m rather worried at where this is going.
Trump is a traitor. He should be treated as such.
I really hope the Ukrainians can continue winning the war without it.
Trump is a traitor, and he is insane and a liar and corrupt and has dementia.
But other than that, everything is fine. 🤥 🤡
I for one admire Zelensky for keeping it up until now. There are not many that could be in his position dealing with the Orange corrupted paedophile.
It’s because he puts the good of the country above his personal pride and feelings. He is being a true professional with the orange moron
Whilst it could be argued he’s not fighting in the war, he’s definitely put a massive target on his own head that is bigger than most soldiers, and keeps himself at risk.
You can hear the sound of Zalensky’s massive balls clanging together from miles away.
And unlike Trump, you can tell he isn’t worried about what people think of him. He doesn’t try to pretend to be a “strong man”
True and Russia would be dumb enough to try…
But I think that he would be a terrible strategic target. Weighing the value of his leadership versus the risk of martyrdom…
Keep bombing the oil Zelenskyy it is time to go green
People aren’t paying close enough attention to the oil oligarchy, and the known, and not puppet/fall guy white supremacists dispite the knowns 1) that modern war is a result of oil control, and 2) that indigenous people were offed for their land rich in oil deposits. To this day evangelical churches are located at oil deposits (see book ‘Annointed with Oil’ (this kind🛢). Oil Tycoons funded churches to get colonizers to live next to the filthy oil wells, and the churches preached the benefits of oil to benefits their expansion. Koch refineries NEVER stopped churning in Russia. And at the very beginning of the Urk/Rus spit: 1) Methane deposits were “discovered” on the coast of Crimea and Hillary spoke about Crimea and Putin in her run for president against Trump and 2) A Koch NGO wrote a letter essentially saying that perhaps the conflict shouldn’t happen, just after it began. Like as if Kochs themsleves had cold feet. And the Kochs are the brain child of ALEC, and a Koch ran for president in the 80’s under the libertarian party and was deeply embarrassed in his efforts. Now put two and two together. Lots of Europe was buying piped in “natural gas” (is literally just methane) from Russia. And then they discover methane closer to home. US helps Zelinski get into office. The 1st thing Russia did was build a engineering feat of a bridge to Crimea. And then the US fuels the fire, then steps back and profits from war (NATO’s weapon supplier of choice) that is now too far along to end. Meanwhile Israel decides to be advantageous and begins their invasion and take over of whatever they can. And Ukr per Zelinski want to be like Israel. And somehow they are using red scare to fuel Russia attack, yet Russia hasn’t been communist for decades. And look up Larry Summers wiki. He was in the White House advising Russia on what oligarchs will get what soviet socialized industries, and was at Harvard (another place that should be met with A LOT of scrutiny) to influence Facebook’s ownership. Of which FB has been sucessfully sued by the Rohindya people for genocide mongering (same playback as Rwanda’s radio station, may I add) and which Kenyans are following in the same suit currently. Then theirs Clinton and Monica, and his midnight call to Benjamin Zion Wattenberg, who wrote the birth Dearth and is one of the most influential and openly modern eugenists of of time because of that book. People need to step back, and realize that the stories your being fed, are just that. You are supposed to be overwhelmed and not look deeper or connect the damn dots. And it works for as long as you and society as a whole wants to be entertained. And don’t even get me started on the “cold war”. 🙄 Who profited/benefitted and what was actually achieved. Those are the only questions you should be asking about anything. Stop being force fed BS, and then in your own ignorance, complimenting the chefs. Our problem as a people is their are too many useable idiots amongst us. ZOOM OUT. Think like an oligarch. He isn’t being entertained. He is using our mass ignorance as his elevator. FFS. If the majority of people can’t tell what’s BS at this point, we’re F’d. Enjoy willfully oppressing your own children, and the earth.
Sorry, (not sorry) but this rant apparently needs to happen.
READ, contemplate for yourself, and know thy enemy.
Ofc the Orange Plague is mad. The Russian propaganda machine is down and not spewing bullshit into MAGAt ears.
Keep it up Ukraine.
Still parroting that disproven propaganda, lol?
Wow. That’s confrontational. Hey, trump does that too!
Trump also spouts bullshit propaganda, lol.
Volodymyr Zelensky should take a history book and read about how the US treats its allies once they are no longer useful.
Actually, the US has always supported the Ukrainian quest for independence. Don’t listen to the naysayers. They simply don’t understand the deep bound that exists between our two nations.
Trump betrays everyone but himself. Only someone delusional would think otherwise.
Only someone delusional would think otherwise.
Explains why Trump thinks he’s loyal.
Elon had already disabled Starlink access to them once, back at the start of the war when Biden was still president. I don’t understand why Ukraine hasn’t divested of SpaceX at this point. Hopefully they have diversified their sources of intel and comms, at least. Europe is starting to develop some nice alternatives like ICEYE, and have given multiple pledges? suggestions? to utilize it in support of Ukraine, I thought.
Why is this bs propagated? US mandated starlink to disable access in russian territory. That’s exactly what was done, so when Zelensky’s starlink controlled drones crossed into russian territory, starlink lost connectivity. Exactly as asked.
As Elon himself said in his recent tweeting, the USG controls Starshield, the military version of Starlink. SpaceX, and sometimes Elon himself, control Starlink.
Whether this occurrence is the USG restricting military comms or SpaceX restricting commercial comms, this is not a coincidence of restrictions on Russia being colocated with Ukraine-Russia battlefields.
Mandated by who? By Elon obviously. The same Nazi who was in secret communication with Putin the whole time. Certainly wasn’t a Biden admin “decision.”
who was in secret communication with Putin the whole time
uhhhhh what?
Biden admin of course, who else? They sanctioned russia, which meant no Starlink service was allowed in russian territory. Ukrainian naval drones crossed into russian territory and (foreseeably) lost connectivity.
So you’re just dismissing the Reuters article I sent you? The DoD didn’t know Musk had cut off Ukrainian access to Starlink (there was no Starshield at that time):
Whatever the reason for Musk’s decision, the shutoff over Kherson and other regions surprised some involved with the Ukraine war – from troops on the ground to U.S. military and foreign policy officials, who after Russia’s full-scale invasion that February had worked to secure Starlink service for Ukrainian forces. Panicked calls by Ukrainian officials during the outage to seek information from Pentagon counterparts, five people familiar with the incident said, were met with few explanations for what could have caused it.
I wasn’t talking about Kherson, I was talking about naval drones headed for Crimea.
I haven’t dug into this one. There may or may not be a reasonable explanation beyond the stated anxiety over nuclear escalation.
betrayed? by Donald J Trump? YOU DON’T SAY?!
Betrayed now? Not after they openly mocked you for not wearing a suit?
He ate shit and humiliated himself in front of the whole world on the off chance he could still get some benefit for Ukraine. This means he’s given up on them.
People died because of this. Why would mocking his clothing even be a blip in comparison?
Because they were withholding approved military funding solely because he didn’t wear a suit…and all in attendance were mocking him because of it.
They were withholding funding because they are Russian compromised fascists who support Hitlerian invasions of neighboring countries. The complaint about his attire was just the lie of the day.
If the American government reacts like this, then it sure shows how Ukraine is winning.
Ukraine is not winning. They are steadily losing territory.
All eyes and finger pointing should be aimed at that gutless orange mess in the White House!
The Portuguese ex-president said it years ago: Trump is a Russian asset.
I felt this was going to happen eventually, I just didn’t know how soon. It also follows suit with Trump working to create a new world hegemony where he sees himself acquiring Canada and Greenland and letting everything else fall to Russia and China. The only way it can even begin to be real is with a world war where the US deliberately ghosts Europe and NATO, and it has already begun to do that.
Trump’s international policy is so incoherent it is much more productive to compare it with type 2 jam instead of international politics.
You forgot Cuba and Venezuela, and likely more.
Taking some solace that while there’s a lot more than just Trump at work here, he is somehow the key figurehead that when he passes (how long can a fat 80 year old who loves fast food last, even with the best health care?) wil leave the broader movement unraveling.
It won’t unravel, it will just get more extreme from now on. This is not something you just democratically vote yourself away from. The very concept of democracy is almost no longer tenable given how techno oligarchs have perfected within their social networks what Cambridge Analytica started.
I don’t know, but I think we are headed towards the modern analogue of the sort of dark ages that have left empty capitals out of ancient civilizations that had previously been thriving, with AI and robotics being prepped to fill the voids. The value of human society is rapidly becoming less of a necessity for the ultrarich, with lies and deception are part of their core values - half truths and a tailored mix rationale and dehumanization that will sadly shape the future of our timeline by appealing to society’s baser emotions. I dread for our future and bid farewell to the sort of one that seemed possible from the world that once cooperated and averted the ozone hole from becoming a catastrophe.
