RT @ChristopherJM: “I’m not sure Zelenskyy knows what he’s talking about,” Rubio says when asked about the reason for Ukraine’s Starlink and Starshield systems being throttled. He says Ukraine wants access to Starshield but doesn’t yet. In fact, Ukraine has had access to and contracts for Starshield since 2024. So it seems the Ukrainian president is not the one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

It’s been a week and Ukraine still has no answers from the Trump admin nor SpaceX about why the Starlink and Starshield systems have been restricted and who ordered the speed limits. The White House and SpaceX each claim it’s the other who’s responsible. Rubio says nobody in the US is responsible.

RT @JimmySecUK: The strategy now seems to be denying that Ukraine was ever given Starshield access at all - a flagrant lie - which would mean that all Starshield terminals in Ukraine are actually running on Starlink, which would allow SpaceX to modify their usage in any way they want.

RT @IlvesToomas: It's not just about armaments.

Europe needs immediately to accelerate its own Low Earth Satellite Communication System so not to depend on the whims of Musk and Trump.

What if Europe is attacked and those two decide they'd get more money from Russia and shut down Starshield?

Restrictions on Ukraine's Starshield systems remain, and Rubio
confirmed that it's not currently available in Ukraine.

Europe continues to pay the US for its use. Russia continues to kill Ukrainians.

A strong, alarming signal.

European NATO allies and European states are the single largest regional destination for American arms exports. European governments must think hard about the wartime risks these arms purchases pose—quite a boost for Buy European. - Dr. Sari Arho Havrén

What a coincidence.

Another security incident was recorded at Leipzig/Halle Airport overnight after a section of the security fence was found damaged near three Russian Antonov cargo planes grounded under EU sanctions.

The hole was discovered around 11 p.m. Investigators suspect a vehicle may have crashed through the fence at high speed, although the circumstances remain unclear.

Police searched the grounds overnight but found no unauthorized persons or suspicious objects.

The damaged section is approximately two kilometres from the Russian aircraft. The airport’s north runway was temporarily closed, but flights continued via the south runway, with no disruption to passenger or cargo traffic. - GeoInsider

RT @MorganC000: A catastrophic blast at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, Alberta has reportedly resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries during a live fire military training operation.

According to local sources on base, Canadian Forces personnel had been conducting exercises over several days when an artillery projectile reportedly struck an active natural gas well on the bombing range, triggering a massive detonation.

The blast is said to have levelled nearby tactical training buildings, with subsequent fires reaching munitions storage and setting off secondary detonations across the range.

The geography and infrastructure;

➟ CFB Wainwright has a documented history of natural gas production, with approximately 180 wells reported on the military property in 2014.

➟ Military range maps identify munitions storage, pipelines and designated live fire danger areas near Peterson Pond.

➟ NASA FIRMS satellite imagery recorded multiple thermal hotspots between Peterson Pond and Jamieson Lake on October 17.

Local accounts also describe hospitals activating Code Orange protocols, mobilizing stretchers and preparing for a significant influx of casualties.

The reported gas well strike, secondary detonations and hospital emergency measures remain unconfirmed as authorities investigate the incident.

Should these reports be confirmed, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved and affected.

This guy…..

Macron will go down in history as one of France’s worst presidents. He has pushed a once-great nation to the brink of economic, demographic, and social ruin.

Had he spent his nine years in power focusing less on “Palestine” and more on Putin and the putains de salauds threatening France from within, his country would be far better off. - Mark Dubowitz

RT @Teoyaomiquu: “If someone says it's raining and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window.”

Europe’s pro-Russia commentators are absolutely furious with this headline because it correctly describes what they are advocating.

Hats off to the @Telegraph here. This is a great example of that old adage in journalism:

“If someone says it's raining and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window.”

In this interview, Mendel advocates for Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia, and surrender its sovereign right to choose its own security alliances, both of which would only escalate Russian aggression in future. She also praises the German far right for their pro-Russia position and says Ukraine is 40% responsible for being invaded.

So this is a perfectly correct headline summarising her position, but it’s no wonder the pro-Russia commentators are furious.

They still think they can be subtle when laundering pro-Russia and pro-war positions within the language of just wanting what’s best for ordinary Ukrainians. They think if they partly acknowledge that Russia is responsible for Russia’s invasion then that gives them free rein to spout pro-Russian views without challenge.

They feel smug about their ability to play this game with us all and get away with it. They are so self-entitled that they don’t expect anyone to call them out on it.

Those days should be over. Call out pro-Russia and pro-war commentators for exactly what they are advocating. It’s time we all look out the fucking window. - Baltic Takes

RT @clashreport: Italy's Defense Minister Crosetto on the U.S. limiting its support for Ukraine:

It’s a total mistake, a big mistake, because it’s fundamental support. It means denying a country every possibility of defending itself.

Peace will come when Putin is convinced there’s a stalemate, that he can’t advance.

But if he sees weakness on the Ukrainian front, and if the United States takes away resources, there is weakness.

Then he thinks he can win, so he’ll continue the war. You give him a reason to continue it, not a reason to end it.

When you weaken someone, you give an advantage to that person's enemy. In my view, that's totally wrong. Totally wrong at this moment.
