Well, well, well. Where will Russia get it drones now? And did Israel strike because it has intel the Iranian regime is vulnerable? Or just proving Israel can strike at will?

North Korea is providing military support to the Russian military in Ukraine by providing “missiles and shells,” says NATO Secretary General.
That should be good news for Ukraine, right?

What NK can provide won’t be top shelf. But they are sitting on a lot of shells that will be compatible with Russian artillery. I’d be interested in knowing if they are taking rubles, yuan, or asking for dollars.

Russian prosecutor general reported to Putin that 9,000 men were illegally mobilized in Russia and returned home.
This must be for propaganda purposes as the mobilization sweeps up more Russian men. This is meant to demonstrate Putin’s government is obeying the law.

“He went to the current war commanding a regiment of mobilized motorized infantrymen from Tatarstan”. Once again, no Russians involved except the guy who dies. When the Soviet Union fell they allowed each of their satellite countries to chose the government they wanted, supposedly independent of Russia. That’s how this Ukraine mess started, Ukrainians didn’t want to be part of Russia.

So Elon Musk is crippling Ukraine usage of Starlink for drones to be used as an offensive weapon.
SpaceX’s take is the technology was not developed to be used this way. Saying it’s being used as an offensive weapon in your own country that has been invaded is really a twisted way of defining
offensive IMHO.
How big a deal is this to Ukraine to be denied drone usage in Russia occupied
territories of Ukraine ? Is drone usage going to be the thing that defeats Russia ( probably not, but
an effective tool to disrupt Russian advancement ) ?
This is not good for Ukraine. Coincidence before Russias offensive?

This has been going on for months now is how I understand it. But with looming Russian
offensive it is more urgent. I don’t see how SpaceX is on the moral high ground when they are taking sides like this. Especially when Ukraine is defending their homeland. If Ukraine was using
drones to attack deep inside of Russia, they may have a supportable position. I think there have been maybe 2 drone attacks near the Russian border, but that’s an exception. War is messy.
Putin, in pursuit of making his legacy, is to blame. He cares not how many Ukrainian civilians or children he kills in pursuit of his legacy. Or Russians for that matter. Ego is a despicable human
trait.

Some of the most heinous forms of warfare can be found in an acronym “CBRNE,” pronounced “See Burn Eee.”
Chemical
Biological
Radiological
Nuclear
Environmental
This appears to be a species of Both “R” and “E.”
Maybe R, N, & E
If it causes a Nuclear disaster…
