Some of that Ukrainian drone debris, undoubtedly.
quote:

A Russian Luch reconnaissance satellite was completely destroyed yesterday after colliding with space debris, according to the Swiss company S2A Systems.

Launched in 2014, the satellite was designed to operate in close proximity to foreign spacecraft, enabling signals intelligence, including electronic surveillance and interception of communications.

The tracks of all objects in Earth orbit are A.) known; and B.) fixed. That makes it possible to set a satillite's orbit to avoid collisions like this.

Unless either the satillite started to somehow fall out of its orbit or was targeted and... uhhh... Yeah, it "fell out of its orbit".

I guess pedophilia is frowned upon in Slovakia. Unlike in the White House.

Wasn't aware of any Biden allegations. I know Trump has more than a few of them, though.

They weren't allegations. He couldn't constrain himself in official videos and campaign stops. Off topic here, but a simple search will produce a cornucopia of videos.

Huh. Honestly didn't know about any of that. Sounds more and more like these two Presidents deserved each other.

Lithuania ask the ICC to classify the Russian energy strikes as genocide. I've got to admit, I agree with them.

EDIT: I take that back. After seeing the new Epstein files, Biden is a creep. Trump looks more and more like a serial pedophile - they aren't close.

Isn't Russia Cuba's primary benefactor? Can Russia save Cuba from President Trump?

We almost had WW3 over Cuba. What a major embarrassment to Russia if it can't do anything to help. The US knows Russia is weak, and it is capitalizing on it.

https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/01/30/trump-hits-cuba-hard-new-national-emergency-declared-tariffs-loom-for-oil-suppliers-n2198674

quote:

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order declaring a national emergency and establishing a process to impose tariffs on goods from countries that sell or otherwise provide oil to Cuba, protecting U.S. national security and foreign policy from the Cuban regime’s malign actions and policies.

The Order imposes a new tariff system that allows the United States to impose additional tariffs on imports from any country that directly or indirectly provides oil to Cuba.

The Order authorizes the Secretary of State and Secretary of Commerce to take all necessary actions, including issuing rules and guidance, to implement the tariff system and related measures.

The President may modify the Order if Cuba or affected countries take significant steps to address the threat or align with U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.

I completely understand how Russians treat their own by having a dildo is interesting for these "straight Christian" soldiers.

We should start a pool on how long Cuba would last if this were to happen.

Initial Temporary Starlink Measures Are Already Working in Ukraine.

This could be significant, a complete shutdown of all illegal Starlink sets would be optimal, but that would require the Ukrainians - who are paying for the service - to register their sets with Starlink. Given Musk's relationship with the Russians, based on Epstein blackmail as seen in the recently-released files, the Ukrainians are hesitant to do this on OPSEC grounds.

But at least the issue is in front of the Western press now and Musk's future actions will be watched and reported.

quote:

Serhiy Flesh, advisor on defense technology of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine: Many users of the Starlink satellite communication system in Ukraine are already seeing the first countermeasures that SpaceX has implemented at the request of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine


quote:

I want to emphasize that the current restrictions are TEMPORARY — or, more precisely, EMERGENCY measures. They will be replaced by a comprehensive, well-thought-out global solution, but such a solution requires time to implement.
quote:

One of the temporary Starlink measures is reportedly a speed limit set at 75 km/h. The idea behind this is that enemy UAVs fly at higher speeds, so the restriction is meant to address that problem.

The downside is that our Ukrainian UAVs are also affected but the limit can be removed if the Starlink terminal is officially registered as part of a brigade’s equipment.

quote:

It forces Russian operators back into the range of traditional electronic warfare and jamming, stripping away the "invincible" communication link they had briefly hijacked. We are witnessing a literal "cat-and-mouse" game played out at 20,000 feet, where a few lines of code from Hawthorne are currently doing more to ground the Russian air threat than many physical interceptors.


As all Russian Starlink sets are illegal, the delay in shutting down or limiting these sets by Starlink is significant. Perhaps an explanation may be found in the recent Epstein file released, showing a far earlier and more serious relationship between Musk and Epstein and Epstein and the Kremlin. Even Musk's brother was being groomed.

Venezuela took the place of Russia during Chavez as benefactor.

Russia has maintained a presence but not supported Cuba financially like pre-1990

Musk says steps to stop Russia's use of Starlink work

01.02.2026 12:21

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Sunday that the measures taken by his company to stop Russia's unauthorized use of Starlink appear to have produced results.
He stated this on the social network X, Ukrinform reports.

"Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorized use of Starlink by Russia have worked. Let us know if more needs to be done," Musk wrote.

In this way, he was responding today to a tweet from Ukraine's Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov from Thursday, in which he thanked SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and Elon Musk for their swift response to news that Russia was using drones equipped with the Starlink internet system.

All unverified Starlink terminals will be disconnected in Ukraine, defence minister says

Roman Petrenko — 1 February, 14:13

Ukraine's Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has announced the gradual introduction of a system that will allow only authorised Starlink terminals to operate in Ukraine.

Source: Fedorov on Telegram

Quote: "In the coming days, we will publish instructions for Ukrainian users on registering Starlink for verification. Unverified terminals will be disconnected.

The registration process will be simple, fast and convenient for users. Detailed instructions will be published shortly."

Details: Fedorov also thanked Starlink and SpaceX for their cooperation.

So did I hear right that this shindig is about to come to an end with some kind of treaty signed?

Trump did know Epstein, but when he tried to hit on an employee's teen daughter he had him booted and banned from Mar-a-Lago.

I follow this pretty closely but haven't seen any thing credible that Trump has any pedophile tendencies. There have been quite a few fake accusations from the usual suspects that have been thoroughly debunked.
