This is so true. Since they have demonstrated willingness to use “the switch” in relation to both civilian and military matters, their trustworthiness is down the drain on all products, hardware, software and services!
The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.
The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.
Russia invaded our home, stole my house, killed my friends, personally sentencing me to death.
They abduct Ukrainian children, bomb UN convoys, destroy hospitals, schools and churches, and are now using civilians as human shields in Oleshky.
“Humanitarian” wouldn’t be the word I would use.
There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.
Ukraine struck another critical communications data center for the Russians in Donetsk. Trump continues to restrict Starlink for Ukraine and not provide early warning intelligence of Russian ballistic missile attacks. Kremlin State TV is celebrating that America has joined their side in the war.
President Zelenskyy: "Starlink shuts down at speeds above 161 km/h in Ukraine, but works at speeds exceeding 180 km/h in the EU"
President Zelenskyy said Ukraine had conducted tests to determine whether SpaceX was experiencing technical issues or whether this was a "deliberate operation."
Attempts by Russian actors to stop the Barents Observer take many different forms. This in no way diminishes our determination to strengthen free and independent journalism in the Norwegian-Russian border region here in the north.
Russia dictates terms to the United States&circumvents sanctions.
The United States has failed to achieve its strategic objective toward Russia.Under current conditions,Russia creates far more real problems&financial costs for the United States than strategic benefits
Why save Russia yet again?
President Zelenskyy: “It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner. This is my opinion.”
Piers Morgan: “You think you are losing America?”
President Zelenskyy: “Yes, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise we can’t survive. We are not selling our country.”
Another Satiric Poem:
Bad bots go bye bye
Russian servers go boom
Now Musk is upset
Did you hear him fume?
Zelensky is hero
Took out the bad bots
X traffic feels empty
X business now rots
Fake right wing supporters
Have now gone away
Lets all VOTE for freedom
So democracy can stay!
"An open question remains - will there come a breaking point at which, let’s say the Baltics, despite the unwillingness of our allies to offer assistance, would anyway start shooting the little green men that are breaching our borders? What would our allies do then?"

Six of the Best for Fascist Russia's War Economy
Even IF Ukraine decided to heed Trump's call for a halt on attacks on Russian oil refineries, Ukraine’s long-range strikes can still refocus on fascist Russia's war-economy bottlenecks by targeting: /thread
Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia. Yandex says operations at the facility have completely stopped. Disruptions spread across Yandex services and hundreds of third-party companies and municipal services using Yandex Cloud infrastructure. #Russia
The Yandex datacenter in Vladimir received drone sanctions, and is currently being migrated to the cloud.
According to the Yandex status board, all Yandex services are completely unavailable in Russia.
Maybe targeting our datacenters was a bad idea. Enjoy your digital detox.📵
Russia fired roughly 1,450 guided bombs, 75 missiles, and over 1,640 strike drones at Ukraine this week, about 60% of them jet-powered, Zelensky says, noting Ukraine is working almost daily with partners on more air defense and aviation munitions.
Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited.
That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part
Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.
Andy Burnham first PM to confirm Kremlin role in Brexit vote
The prime minister has revealed UK authorities told him there was ‘clear evidence’ that Moscow meddled in the referendum

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement":
"You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other,
Prepare for a wave of voices inside and outside Ukraine calling for surrender this winter.
Make no mistake: anyone pushing capitulation is serving a Russian information operation
Four years in the rabbit hole with millions of Russian military docs, and I finally feel comfortable writing this (very uncomfortable) story.
Russia appears to have upgraded and re-activated the fabled Dead Hand that ensures global nuclear retaliation if Russia comes under attack.
"If Ukraine have ballistic missiles, and the FP-9 can reach Moscow..."
"Not if, but when. It’s only a matter of time - a month, two months, or this winter. But they will have them."
Russian propagandists Kalashnikov and Goroshko:
1/ Russian forces in the Lyman area have fallen back to a line along the Zherebets river according to Russian warbloggers, with fighting ongoing in areas of the formerly Russian-held salient. They warn that Ukraine's counteroffensive is now working towards crossing the river. ⬇️
President Trump:
Russia has unfortunately lost control of its Diesel Oil Industry due to its War with Ukraine.
President Trump says the war must be ended.
I agree wholeheartedly. The United States have the leverages needed to make Russia stop this horrible war it started.
Russia claims to be at war with Europe and acts accordingly.
We are fast approaching a point where Europeans who work for or assist Moscow in any way should be arrested and prosecuted for treason
Each russian sabotage attack provides further proof that the 'keep calm and carry on' strategy adopted by NATO countries in response to russian aggression, as well as the invention of the term 'hybrid warfare' to describe real russian attacks, is a grave mistake that escalates the situation.
Imagine if your country was hit with this many munitions every day. It’s absolutely insane what Ukraine has been dealing with recently. All these drones & missiles over the last 24 hours.
So there were two reasons Donald could attend Junior's most recent wedding.
1. Bahamas ban entry for sex offenders
2. Can't meet handlers at public events
Once again, Trump supports Putin against Ukraine, calling on Ukraine to stop its successful bombing of Russian oil refineries.
Ukraine has taken out about 30% of Russia's refinery capacity. If increased to 50%, Putin might accept calls for an energy ceasefire, but Trump works for Putin's victory.

Guess who's not in Kyiv with all the decent world leaders and officials today?
You got it. Dumb & Dumber stayed at home because the diplomatic equivalent of chocolate fireguards got scared. It's 100% true!
