End of story -- it is vitally and strategically imperative for Europe and the entire free world to take the most decisive steps to accelerate the development of their own alternative to Starlink.
Otherwise, this profoundly hypocritical, infantile, walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect, drunk on his own sense of limitless power, impunity, and imagined moral superiority, will bring the entire free world to ruin -- all for the sake of the ketamine-fueled cockroaches in his head.

I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.
Peace negotiations are important in their own right. Even if they do not lead to a lasting peace, the process itself is an opportunity to resolve urgent humanitarian issues. If, of course, the human dimension is a priority for the negotiators. But it is entirely obvious that neither Witkoff nor Kushner cares about people's fates in this war.
The Pope calls on Putin to save thousands of people from starvation in occupied Oleshky and the surrounding villages. The UN speaks about a humanitarian catastrophe and asks Russia to allow the evacuation of the civilian population. European Parliament Vice-President Pina Picierno goes on a hunger strike to draw attention to this tragedy unfolding before the eyes of the whole world.
And what are Witkoff and Kushner doing?
That's right, almost nothing.
Except for passing along greetings from Putin’s aide to the First Lady.
Thousands of people are already eating grass to survive and begging to save their lives. The Ukrainian side raises the issue of Oleshky at every meeting. And I can name dozens of such urgent humanitarian issues off the top of my head where American negotiators must be proactive.
Trump’s peace negotiations have already gone down in history as the deadliest years for Ukraine’s civilian population since the start of the full-scale invasion.
I don’t know if anyone will remember the names of Witkoff and Kushner.
But history will certainly record how American negotiators, who had the opportunity to save a huge number of people, refused to raise uncomfortable questions before "humanist Putin."

📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists.
Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data.
Since 2016:
🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters.
🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European.
🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin.
His estimate of how Britain would vote now:
🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37%
A majority of almost 9 million.
Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade.
But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever.
The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.
📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely.
This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows:
• 5 million 2016 voters have died
• New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1
• 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin
• Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m
➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin.
Britain is now a pro-EU country.
The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.

So it’s official: Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. The US aided and abetted Putin’s killing of numerous civilians in Ukraine. Trump’s a traitor, a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy.

For some time I’ve been warning about the influence war being fought online.⬇️⬇️
In June last year, when Iran was hit and internet connectivity there was disrupted, dozens of anonymous social media accounts championing Scottish independence suddenly went quiet. I pointed this out at the time, and despite the reporting, some people in my comments insisted I was making it up.
I wasn’t. And the wider threat is something we need to take seriously.
This week we’ve seen what happens when Russia gets hit. Ukraine struck three Yandex data centres and automated traffic from its network fell by around 94%.
And all of a sudden, people are reporting that some MAGA, anti-Zelensky, pro-AfD and other far-right accounts have gone unusually quiet. We can’t say these things are connected — the Yandex figures measure automated web traffic, not political social media activity — but the reports raise questions worth investigating.
Because we already know there is a substantial machinery of foreign interference working to manipulate political debate online.
If you don’t think this is happening here, you’re being naive to the threat. It’s happening now.
Whatever the Russians did or didn’t manage to achieve during the Brexit referendum, we know they’ve spent years trying to interfere in our politics and drive division online.
So ask yourself: when it comes to divisive political issues, why do certain arguments dominate our feeds? Why does outrage so often suck the air out of everything else? How much is genuine political debate, how much is amplified by algorithms, and how much is being deliberately pushed by hostile states?
Not every political disagreement is manufactured. Of course it isn’t. But those disagreements are being exploited online by hostile actors because a divided population is far easier to influence than a country that stands together.
We need to get much more serious about foreign interference in British politics.

Zelensky is a Genius:
Trump: "I'm buying oil from Putin, which will help fund the war against Ukraine."
Zelensky: "Ok then I'm blowing up all the Yandex Data centers in Russia, which host the bot Traffic that Putin uses to Help Trump cause chaos in the US elections. Checkmate!"

I’ve supported Palestine for 54 years but oppose today’s Palestine march & calls for violent intifada
Holding this march today implies support for Hamas & its 7 October massacre, which killed Jewish & ARAB civilians. That was a war crime, as is Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Palestinian leaders like Marwan Barghouti oppose terrorist tactics & advocate a two-state solution. I support them

North Korean ballistic missiles are attacking Europe and killing Europeans. North Korean soldiers are fighting on European soil and killing Europeans.
But supplying German Taurus missiles to Ukraine would be an escalation.

This is not a joke.
The Russian biological war research should have us all concerned and stopping ALL flight from Russia, and all Russians from entry.
The longer this goes on the more countries we will have to stop flight from.
FYI: the Russians were working on a plague that is resistant to antibiotics
Russia's plague outbreak is getting worse, now with 5 hospitals in Irkutsk quarantined, universities canceling classes and accusations from healthcare workers that the government is attempting a media cover-up.
Nearly 200 contacts of a 28-year-old anti-plague laboratory worker who died last week are reportedly under isolation or medical observation.
Irkutsk universities are canceling classes citing a “case of pneumonic plague,” while an aluminum plant introduced mandatory masks. A local government warning advising residents not to travel to Shelekhov was published and later deleted.
Healthcare workers claim doctors are discussing plague internally while avoiding the diagnosis in official documents.
Russian health authorities continue to deny any plague outbreak, attributing the woman's death to “pneumonia of unknown origin.”
Pneumonic plague is far worse that it's Bubonic cousin as its transmitted directly between humans.
