    Day 4 “the Russian bear has bit into the Ukrainian porcupine.”

    Kyiv still stands!

  3. "Yes, professor, I read the book. It was an excellent book, with sharp corners and crisp pages. The printing quality was exceptional."

  4. Yeh, I get that Elon is mouthy, a pain in the arse, a self-promoter, and controversial.

    Not sayin that's a bad thing when an outnumbered people are trying to run their own information campaign and need some help and trying to get the word and the visuals out.

    And if he calls a Rusky "a pedo" along the way, deal with it. I am already over it.


    After plea from Ukraine, Elon Musk says SpaceX’s Internet service available for war-torn nation

    The Starlink satellite service requires personal terminals for users on the ground. There are under a dozen terminals in the Ukraine currently according to most estimates. So Elon Musk’s statement is little more then a gesture — and more self promotion.

    Even if more terminals are provided to people in the Ukraine — they certainly will be shocked at the subscription fees.

    Movement:

    • Putin orders nuclear weapons to be put on a “special regime of duty” in response to western sanctions. Hopefully he gets murdered soon by his own people before he gets Russia blown completely off the map.
    • There will be a no preconditions meet at the Belarus border between Russia and Ukraine. Russia may getting their ass kicked so hard that they may be looking for a way out but rule number one is still in effect NEVER TRUST THE RUSSIANS.
    We are probably at DEFCON 2 right now:

  9. Yeh, I don't know. I take your comments under advisement but am not prepared to be Debby Downer just yet despite your urgings to do so.

    Musk just tweeted out that "more terminals are on the way" and I am not prepared to confirm or deny that. Obviously not everyone is going to get a terminal and maybe just a few military operations units will get it for for some critical military need.

    that meet is probably an assassination ploy by the Russians.
