Why don't America just come out with it and say they are no longer supporting Ukraine in any way whatsoever? Do a press conference for Christ sake so Ukraine and their true allies know where they stand. Sick of the drip drip effect with these disloyal traitors! #TrumpIsATraitor

Just note, Trump ultimately intends to stop, block, or impede any support for Ukraine in order to benefit russia 🇷🇺. It’s not about money from our budget, it’s about deals with russia 🇷🇺 to put money into Trump family’s pockets.

Trump has personal economic interests in Russia. Personal gain is what matters to him the most as well as gains for his family and freinds.

Besides the baby that was killed in this attack, the brother of the other girl that was killed has now also died nitter.cf/Gerashchenko_en/status…
12-year-old Artem Koval died in hospital today from injuries he got when a Russian drone struck a park in Nova Vodolaha. His 8-year-old sister, Arina, was killed that day, too. Their mom, Liliia, was also injured. Deepest condolences...

Elon’s restrictions didn’t stop Ukraine’s long-range strikes inside Russia, but it did disrupt Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian attacks. Because Starlink is strictly geofenced at the border, it was never a factor in Ukraine's deep strikes anyway. Therefore, the network-wide 100 mph speed cap was against offensive operations, it exclusively degraded the high-speed defensive interceptor drones operating inside Ukrainian airspace to protect civilians from incoming Russian bombs. Russian facilities hit by Ukraine during the October 14–23 Starlink/Starshield restrictions: • Ryazan oil refinery (October 15) • Petersburg Oil Terminal (October 18) • Ruchi oil depot, St. Petersburg (October 18) • Ozon logistics hub, Kolpino, St. Petersburg (October 18) • VK data center, Leningrad region (October 18) • 75th Arsenal, an air-defense equipment storage and repair facility in Serpukhov (October 21–22) • Proton-Electrotex electronics plant, Oryol (October 23)

🚨 Pentagon refuses to investigate Starlink disruptions in Ukraine. Senators demand answers about Musk's role Nine US senators — four Republicans and five Democrats — called for an investigation into who was behind restrictions on Starlink and Starshield satellite communications, which Ukrainian officials say hampered efforts to intercept Russian drones. However, the Pentagon's inspector general declined to launch an investigation and referred the senators to the US Air Force, according to the Associated Press. The senators wanted to know whether US officials had authorized the restrictions, whether they knew about them in advance, and how the disruptions affected Ukraine's air defenses and warnings of incoming threats. Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the Trump administration and SpaceX had provided conflicting explanations for the disruptions, making an independent investigation necessary.

No one wants how it happened to come out, which tells you just how horrible this move was. Still, the absence of accountability means it can happen again.

One of the most foolish thing I heard from a Brexiteer Tory neighbour day after EU Ref was his delighted comment Brexit would drive Poles back home, in front of my Eastern European born wife! Yes many did go back home much to Poland's gain & to UK's loss & are now dearly missed! – at Dunakiliti, Magyarország
History has been made in the heart of London's financial district as Bronek Masojada becomes the first person of Polish descent to be elected Lord Mayor of the City of London. From his Polish family heritage to the leadership of one of Britain's most prestigious civic institutions, his remarkable journey reflects the enduring contribution of Poles to British life. Congratulations! britishpoles.uk/bronek-masoj…

A Russian agent registered more than 1,000 Starlink terminals despite Ukraine’s whitelist and SpaceX restrictions. Russian forces are using Starlink again on the battlefield and on naval drones, Asia Times. 1/

Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery, Russia. I take it that yesterday’s latest Russian mass killing of civilians in Ukraine has finally put an end to the idiocy of “don’t strike Russia’s oil industry to show your profound gratitude to Donald Trump.”

Paine: China cares about tiny Taiwan because its vibrant democracy disproves the racist idea that democracy and the Han Chinese are incompatible. With fair elections, neither Xi nor Putin would still be in office, and they regard that as the existential threat. 2X

Historian Sarah Paine: When Xi Jinping took power in China in 2012, he asked his experts why the Soviet Union fell. They told him it was organized by ethnicity. I suspect that explains his genocide of the Uyghurs, with the men in camps and the children in schools. 1/

These motherfuckers didn’t just screw over a Pope with cancer. The whole Oleshky story is a Putin information operation designed to save that old orange ass from electoral defeat. Guys, this needs to become an atomic bomb for the bastards in the White House. If you haven’t written about it yet, share this post. As many people as possible need to know this story. What I had previously only suspected on instinct has now been confirmed. It turns out that the absurd “Melania Trump ceasefire” in Oleshky was literally Putin’s idea. He personally “very much wanted” Melania to act as mediator, her senior adviser Mark Beckman told the Kyiv Independent. Well, you could have guessed that, and I did immediately. A person who can barely string two words together was hardly going to organize something like this better than the Pope. More than that, Putin sent her a special letter saying that Russia officially recognized Melania as its “exclusive intermediary.” Do you understand what that means? Russia has occupied Oleshky for four and a half years, blocked the city, prevented humanitarian aid from getting in, and driven the remaining residents into an acute shortage of food and medicine. And then Putin picks Trump’s wife as the person who will be allowed to “solve” the problem. And he does it right before the elections, when Trump’s collapsing ratings desperately need saving. Trump, the politician who is now effectively helping Putin force Ukraine into capitulation. The White House has already announced that it was Melania who “secured the ceasefire,” while four journalists from Newsmax, Trump’s pet TV network, have been sent to Oleshky as “neutral observers” to present the entire operation to an American audience in exactly the right light. You can bet your ass they won’t just advertise the orange ape as the greatest humanitarian genius in human history. They’ll advertise Putin right alongside him. John Foreman, the former British defense attaché in Moscow and Kyiv, is calling this exactly what it is: a deliberate Kremlin operation. “They know exactly what they’re doing.” According to him, allowing Melania to take credit for the ceasefire gives Russia a way to present the Trumps to the MAGA audience as peacemakers immediately before the midterms. In other words, Moscow first creates a humanitarian catastrophe, then allows the family of the U.S. president to stage a spectacular “rescue” of that catastrophe in order to save themselves from political disaster. Fuck, I genuinely don’t have enough words to express how unbelievably vile and disgusting this is. I’m choking on the hatred of it. They have turned one of the largest man-made humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century into a fucking medal pinned to an orange ass.
