Unbelievable that I even have to repost this. Elon Musk now appears to have been thrown firmly under the bus, with Trump openly denying any involvement in the restrictions and Rubio insisting that control over both Starlink and Starshield lies with Musk. Something Musk himself has denied. So who actually authorised the restrictions, and why?

1/3 Musk ordered last week's slowdown of Starshield, which Ukraine fights on, after talking with Trump, per @WSJ. In '23 the Pentagon signed a contract with SpaceX to “prevent Musk from turning off the switch," per fmr Under Sec of Defense Colin Kahl. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

There's an entire technical aspect of this that no one is talking about that probably came straight from Putin. The press keeps reporting that they "throttled" Starlink, which makes it sound like they limited bandwidth. But that isn't what Zelenskyy is saying. He's saying that they restricted the flight speed of Ukrainian drones, cutting operational airspeed from 180kph to 160kph with people on the Eastern front reporting airspeed limits as low as 130kph. Zelenskyy also said that these same drones maintain connectivity at 180kph as soon as they cross the Polish border. That isn't bandwidth throttling. That is 3D Geofencing. They placed a policy on the Starlink constellation to not communicate with a transmitter traveling over X-speed within the geographical boundary of Ukraine. Zelenskyy said the result is that they cannot intercept Russia's new turbofan drones. So here's my thing... Limiting the airspeed of the connected Starlink terminals is a VERY weird and VERY specific policy to apply. And as Zelenskyy said, it led to a very specific outcome. So where did Elon get this idea? Who gave him this idea that they should restrict connectivity of terminald to objects traveling under 160kph? He didn't shutdown access. He didn't throttle bandwidth. He didn't disconnect terminals. He didn't restrict access over the Eastern Front. All of the things that you'd expect dumbass like Musk and Trump to do in a fit of rage didn't happen. Instead, they implemented a very specific, very subtle policy that hamstring Ukrainian defense capability while maintaining the plausible deniability of, "Oh, it's still working. We don't know what they're talking about." So who gave them this idea? I'll give you one guess. Why Musk Doesn’t Have Access to SpaceX’s Biggest Government Secrets wsj.com/tech/musk-spacex-sec…

I don't believe that Musk turned off Starlink to Ukraine at his own sole initiative. I believe Trump is implicated up to his painted eyebrows. But if it should be true that Musk did it - then Starlink and Space X must be nationalized by the US government immediately.

Ebola now has more than 9,400 cases in the DRC, the deadliest outbreak in the country's history. If you're wondering why global health funding matters, it's because viruses don't care how much your politicians want to talk about something else.

It is humiliating these days to be an American & watch these traitorous fascist antics.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

My opponent was the lead author of a bill that would have banned abortion in Minnesota, even in cases of rape and incest, and punished doctors with prison time. As Governor, I will always protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions.

Why fight NATO directly when you can turn its allies against each other? A Russian-linked bot network spread fake news to deepen tensions between Poland and Ukraine. That's information warfare, and U.S. intelligence must take it as seriously as conventional threats. #CIA #Russia #NATO kyivindependent.com/fact-che…
