How’s he out of his lane? By wanting to get paid like everyone else is for the service he’s been providing Ukraine for free since the air started?


StarLink has been getting paid via stations bought at retail in Poland and surrounding nations via crowdfunding for military use. They as well as everyday Ukraine citizens are paying the monthly subscriptions. I don't know about his initial donation. Then there is the free advertising about how it helps smaller nations with comms.

I think most of these are Paultards, who believe that no military should be beyond territorial waters also known as the distance a cannonball (not artillery) can be fired from shore. They also believe that USMC embassy guards are military bases.

By offering a peace plan that was retarded, then communicating openly with Medvedev like it was no big deal?


He tweeted some shite. Big deal. Literally millions of people do it everyday.

Why? It’s not like he works for the State Department or Intelligence Community. He’s not an elected leader. At the end of the day he’s just a dude spouting out ideas on social media. If governments adjust their policies based up on Elon’s tweets that’s their business.

Billionaire shitposters have significant political effects and governments respond to them. It's just how it is now for good or ill (mostly ill).

Not at all. Lots of crowdfunding to buy these for units at the front over and above what Musk donated. Many individuals have the terrestrial station on backorder. At the end of the day, it doesn't appear that Musk is losing money and getting free advertising at how effective it can be

Ukraine made some progress towards Svatove. Russia trying to create fear and chaos with silly claims that Ukraine building a dirty bomb. Thirty liberal Democrats wrote Biden saying that he should negotiate with Russia.

That's about it, I think.

How many Ka-52 alligators do they have left? They sure have lost a lot of them.

Overall the equipment losses are just stunning.

Who would have thought that Putin would immolate Russian’s armed forces so pointlessly in less than a year in Ukraine.

Yeah, 7500 total losses is incredible, and that number is going to grow a lot before this war is over, however it ends.

It'll take Russia decades to rebuild their combat power. I mean, when you are losing T-62 tanks that were last produced in 1975, that's over 45 years of loss right there.
