re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

The grifters are going to be stacked under the bus now as the White House tries to change the narrative.

“The Trump administration's push to reopen Lithuanian ports to Belarusian potash exports is being driven by U.S. envoy John Coale and does not reflect a broader policy shift in Washington, multiple U.S. and European officials told the Kyiv Independent.”

It's a start. However, the vessel was not confiscated.

Why? Give us the specific reasons why his actions do not satisfy the statutory requirements. To assist, here are the four requirements:

Pre-meditated intent, motive, causation and the death certificate.

Musk was once the darling of the left. His cars were the status symbol for the environmentally conscious. He'll now start saying more politically moderate things. If Democrats win in 2028, he might cut off his own penis to adapt.

The single biggest reason for the fall in the stock price of Tesla and SpaceX is that those companies are headquartered in Texas, which just flipped completely blue. Musk spent something like $250 million to try to prevent that, because he knows that the regulatory environment is now completely different.

The Congressional hearings will try to embarrass Musk and pressure him into allowing Ukraine to use Starlink (technically Starshield) to attack inside Russia. I think that will work.

Again, you have no concept about American law. He won't be tried in the U.S. for acts that occurred in Ukraine. Ukraine would have to try and extradite him and there is zero chance that will happen.

One F-16, Nine Drones: Ukrainian Pilot Sets New Single-Sortie Record

Nov 06, 2026 15:07

Ukrainian F-16 fighters destroyed roughly 1,100 Russian attack drones in October alone, while one pilot set a new single-sortie record by shooting down nine UAVs using only the jet’s 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, Ukraine’s 107th Separate Aviation Wing reported on November 6.

The figures were released following remarks by the wing’s commander at the International Fighter Conference 2026 in Munich.

During one combat sortie, the Ukrainian F-16 pilot intercepted and destroyed nine Russian attack drones, firing exclusively from the fighter’s onboard cannon rather than using air-to-air missiles.

What makes the result even more striking is that the same pilot had set the previous record only days earlier.

During that earlier mission, he shot down eight Russian drones after firing 400 cannon rounds and returned to base with another 100 rounds still available.

A few days later, he took off again and broke his own record, destroying nine drones in a single sortie. After landing, he still had 80 rounds remaining.

“The tactic is simple—just get within range and fire the cannon,” the commander of the 107th Aviation Wing said, describing how Ukrainian F-16 pilots engage Russian attack drones.

The simplicity of that description masks the difficulty of the task. Using the aircraft’s cannon requires the pilot to close to relatively short range, line up a small moving target, and fire accurately while preserving enough distance to avoid debris after the drone is hit.

The approach also has a major economic advantage. According to the wing commander, Ukrainian F-16s have now destroyed about 4,700 Russian attack drones in total, with the vast majority shot down using their onboard guns.

That allows Ukraine to preserve expensive air-to-air missiles for targets where cannon fire is either impractical or too dangerous.

In October alone, Ukrainian F-16s were credited with destroying approximately 1,100 Russian drones—an indication of how central the Western-supplied fighters have become to Ukraine’s increasingly layered defense against mass UAV attacks.

Earlier, Denmark supplied Ukraine with more than 50,000 rounds of 20mm ammunition for the cannons aboard its F-16 fighters, giving Ukrainian pilots a far cheaper way to destroy Russian drones than using scarce air-to-air missiles.

Everything fell, not just Tesla and SpaceX.

Maybe he will move the Texas SpaceX mfg and launches to LA. The gov elect has called for a stop to the state land used for a road from rocket manufacturing to Port of Brownsville.

FWIW, I was on the phone Wednesday morning with VP of Cushman and Wakefield to check on progress of the sale of a chemical plant in LaPorte I inspected and inventories last Spring, with a biz friend, at his invitation. The conversation then went to the election. He was very pessimistic about the business climate in TX for the future. CW is a multibillion dollar commercial and industrial real estate company with 50,000+ employees.

The Dem candidate for LA governor in 2027 will run in opposition to/on regulating Data Centers and Space X... we'll see how that resonates.
