🇺🇸 SpaceX may have helped Russia’s Kosmos-2612 get within 500m of ICEYE-X36, a satellite supporting Ukraine, on Oct 18. SpaceX issued a false collision alert that stopped ICEYE from maneuvering. Russia had similarly shadowed a US spy satellite in 2022, but at a much greater distance – around 70 km.
🇺🇸 Russia's Kosmos-2612 made maneuvers near ICEYE-X36 consistent with an orbital weapons operation. US arms control adviser Brian Hardesty made the statement at the UN First Committee in New York on Oct 21. To accuse Russia of something at such a desperate time for Trump! Scandalous.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

Nice to see @theguardian.com are finally catching up after 6+ years 🤦♂️👇 "Imposition of SEZ status or equivalent… interference in local democracy" SEZ status = Network States / Enterprise Cities / Charter Cities like Thiel & co's dystopian democracy destroying Prospera project on Roatan, Honduras
Now why might there be such huge public concern re Data Centres? …Threats to water & electricity supply to local communities …Noise …Toxic levels of pollution …A handful of jobs created …Imposition of SEZ status or equivalent… interference in local democracy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...
Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

The Mokri Yaly push isnt about villages, its about the T-05-18 road. Every step west of the river tightens the squeeze on russian supply lines running south of Donetsk. Ground taken there costs them trucks, not just trenches.
