Western Satanism is when children exist, but glorious Russkiy Mir is when children die.
That's a cheap shot, you can similarly use Iraq's half a million dead as an example of western freedom

Did you watch what I responded to? I'm merely relaying the message. Bring it up with "Putin's army is God's army, there can be no mercy for spawn of Satan be they old ladies or children" priest.

It's like the longer this collective mental illness goes on, the closer Russian fascists and American fascists start seeming identical. Stick a funny hat on Alex Jones and teach him to speak Russian and they'd be interchangeable.

SpaceX has restricted the Ukrainian military's ability to use Starlink satellite internet to control drones in the war zone, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell has said. She stated that SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet "was never intended to be used as a weapon".

Heh. Why I am not surprised? Rather unpleasant news, we'll need to find new means for controlling stuff like naval drones

Found the CNN story about it. I hope Gwynne Shotwell is getting good money from E.sucks for taking all the blame.
Story: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/02/09/politics/spacex-ukrainian-troops-satellite-technology/index.html

I just figured out why she had to give the news instead of Elon. Their story is that they were too dumb to figure out what Ukraine would do with Starlink. Of Course Elon could never say that.

Keep in mind that USA is in space race with China and there are starlink alternatives in the works, the more Starlink possible military applications are emphasized the more it would be treated in the world as huawei in USA.

I have no idea what you're saying.

Americans LOVE the weaponization of their American companies.

Companies want to be able to operate on foreign markets. When a company starts being perceived as a political/military tool of one government or another, it may no longer be welcome in markets opposed to the government in question. Like Huawei isn't in the US for those very reasons.

That sadly makes sense and explains so much.
And my damn government thinks corporations are people...

Russian propaganda permeates everything, confirmation bias is real, and critical thinking is woefully under taught in schools across the globe.

I wonder what the current estimates are for Russia's remaining functional tanks.  The estimates I've seen put them at having lost about 3,260 tanks so far, which is mind boggling.  But those same estimates claim Russia only had about 3,300 to start with, so something clearly isn't adding up.  I'm guessing they just have a lot more in some functional shape than that.

I haven't really been tracking the current Russian offensive but what I did read sounded pretty bad for the Ukrainian defenders.  I'm hoping for the best, but don't have the same level of confidence that Ukraine will be able to keep the Russians at bay or reclaim all of its territory that I had a few months ago.

What's happened to the Russian patriarchate in recent months is horrifying, and deeply un-Christian. I've mentioned before how tragic it is that people from Orthodox churches are going to war against each other.

In recent what? It is like this for a very, very long time... This version, which was recreated by Stalin, is one of the worst and most immoral Christian large-scale cults that ever existed.
