    More likely any additional terminals go to Ukraine government officials so they can get messages to the world out. I don’t see Starlink being very useful to the Ukraine military who already has a bunch of ground level communication gear with no satellite delays.

  2. There are protests in Moscow, and the Ukrainians are putting up good resistance so continue to look on the bright side as you are.

    Be careful about getting as cocky as you are though. Putin can flip the "let's go scorched earth" button at some point and the whole picture will change. Also, some of his troops in the east are making progress which sooner or later will allow them to move past those areas. And yes they will meet resistance. Just don't be cocky. Putin is plenty prepared to do the dirty.

    See rule #1. I’m pretty sure that’s what they did with the Georgians at a meet in 2008. They ended up arresting the whole delegation and continued the war.

  5. Yeh. I dunno bro. I just saw the development and posted it and maybe the Starlink thing helps and maybe it doesn;t.

  6. It's early where I am and I have not even seen the bottom of my cup of coffee yet.

    I could not see Rule number 1 if it were right in front of me.

    Wayy to early for anyone to do a Joe Biden "Number 1, and Number 2" routine with me.

  7. Let's hope there will be adults in the room at that moment, and that they put him in a box before he lights that match and burns their own house down.

  8. The adults in the room are as crazy as he is. Let's hope there are some young people in that room who want a future that doesn't resemble Mad Max world.

    To be honest, we don’t know as much as we would like to know about Putin’s power control.

    What we do know is that he has created such a mess with Ukraine fiasco between the invasion going poorly and the sanctions now being nearly as high as possible that any leader would be looking at being removed for the good of their country.

  10. All I know is that their nuclear systems are probably more antiquated than ours and it is under these type circumstances that accidents happen. More than likely it won't be an order to launch, it'll be a system failure that kicks it off.
