"So, you are telling me that next time a large fascist dictatorship starts invading European countries, our grandsons not only will not fight it?
They will cry that they cant 'afford' to pay anything to the country invaded despite being ten times richer than we are?!".
If I were an investor (which I am but a very small one), I would look to European satelite producers like GomSpace.
In Europe, we also make satellites that can send internet to the ground. And now that Starlink has proven that they are a tool for working against Europe and can not be trusted, the European companies will have their order books full.
🇺🇦🇩🇰 UKRAINE TAKES FIRST STEP TOWARDS ITS OWN SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Ukraine's HIMERA and Denmark's GomSpace have confirmed that OBRIA NANO, the first test satellite for Ukraine's future sovereign communications network, is now operating in orbit.
Key details:
• Launched aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission on 1 October.
• Currently undergoing in-orbit testing to validate technologies for the future OBRIA constellation.
• Operated under Ukrainian control.
• The long-term goal is nationwide satellite communications coverage, complementing European networks.
• Future plans include manufacturing satellites and ground terminals in Ukraine.
The strategic significance is substantial.
Ukraine currently relies heavily on foreign-controlled satellite communications infrastructure. OBRIA aims to reduce that dependence and give Kyiv greater control over a critical wartime capability.
This is still a technology demonstration, not an operational national network.
But it marks an important first step towards Ukrainian technological sovereignty in space.
No Western European politicians have ever ordered or even asked the Ukranians to fight the Russians. The only thing we do is support the Ukrainians so they can fight if they want to. Which they do. Because they dont want to be murdered by the invading Russian army.

Reminder - russia has zero legitimate security concerns.
russia hates NATO like a thief hates locks. Makes it harder for them to keep invading peaceful neighbors.
I have got to be honest. I dont think we are anywhere near the end of the war in Ukraine.
Russia shows no signs of being willing to compromise or being reasonable or realistic. Now they apparently raise a demand that the rest of Eastern Europe have to leave NATO. And they still want to have all of Ukraine.
Europe is not going to abandon hundreds of millions of people in Eastern Europe to live under Russian tyranny again.
We are ten times stronger than Russia and we are not going to agree to such insane demands.
Russia is on the defensive in Ukraine. Over the past six months they have lost - not gained - territory. Their oil refineries are destroyed. Their economy is being crippled and there is no victory in sight for them. Compared to Europe they have a small population and a very small and not very advanced economy.
The only problem is that Russia does not understand this and continues to act like they can bully and threaten their way to dominance over a Europe that is so much stronger than them.
We want peace. Of course. Since the fall of the USSR we have shown no aggression to Russia but have only wanted to live as good and peaceful neighbours. There is literally nobody in Europe that wants war with Russia. It is a mindset that does not exist.
But we are not going to surrender to Russia's insane idea that their weak country has a right to rule half of Europe. As long they stick to that, there will be no settlement. So the war will probably continue for a long time which is a tragedy and a disaster.

Oh my, another idiot take that just won’t die. The Europeans are not funding Russia’s war. They started from a deep structural dependency on Russian energy and have made tremendous — and fast — progress on decoupling. This isn’t something you just turn off overnight. And they still contribute far more to Ukraine in aid anyway.
In contrast, the US is not even remotely dependent on Russian fossil fuels and yet the Kremlin asset in the White House is easing sanctions anyway while completely shutting off aid.
Contrary to the braindead takes of Trump apologists, the hypocrisy runs squarely through Washington, not Brussels.
In case you were wondering who was funding Russia's war on Ukraine, the EU is the number 1 purchaser of Russia's liquid natural gas and pipeline gas products through September 2026.energyandcleanair.org/august…
Okay, I will admit that Norway does have one or two good things going for them.... But they fail in the only thing that matters. What a shithouse country.
The view that Ukraine is wrong to defend itself against Russia’s invasion is the dumbest view ever to attract so many followers. Hall of Fame stupidity. It makes every other stupid opinion look like infinite wisdom. Worthy of a Nobel Prize for stupidity.
What happened? It is a complete mystery. It surely cant be something that Russia has done, can it?
Sidder endnu en gang i Københavns Lufthavn med tre dødtrætte børn, som har været gennem en rejsedag på snart 12 timer og er fem timer over sengetid. Og helt som vanligt tager det igen over en time at få vores bagage. Børnene ligger og sover på flisegulvet, og der sker nada. Og sådan er det hver gang.

The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.
Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.
Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?
Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.
BREAKING: Zelensky repeats again what he has said a hundred times before that, of course, he will still agree to a cease fire (even though Russia will not).
MAGA is taking victory rounds and can not believe this incredible development.
