When will Russia launch ballistic missiles at the USA? Or is it only the USA that gets to bomb Russian refineries and warehouses, never, ever the reverse, not even in retaliation?

>>2938673
>it would consume that in about 10 minutes.
That can still last a long while if they fire a a few second bursts. Also geran's aren't maneuvering in flight so it's probably an easy shot. It's just, what encourages Ukrainian flight crew to conserve anything. It's free ammo, dummy.

Like with a baby screaming and throwing its toys out of its pram, the solution isn’t always to copy them in retaliation.

Yes, it is very dangerous that the US is currently doing everything short of pressing the launch button to bomb a nuclear power and yes, that’s also incredibly stupid even if they’re getting away with it currently.

>>2939284
Tell us more about the brilliant 9D thinking behind taking it like a little cuck and doing nothing about it. Tell us how this is in agreement with the national security policy of Russia and how it is based on their theory of deterrence.

I’m just grateful the world hasn’t ended yet. I don’t really care to make the case for why the US bombing a nuclear power is stupid beyond that.

Looks like Texas wasn’t far enough for Musky boy, still surrounded by these MARXISTS who question the viability of having vital services ran according to the whims of an individual.

>>2939305
Although this is entirely true and I’m sure that the accusations are an attempt to either influence the US elections in November, or get Trump to get back in his cage after trying to set up a peace deal, or both.

>>2939306
I don't remember ever specifically promoting the war. in fact, it saddened me that zelya decided to obey boris johnson push after the latter pushed zelya's dooddies from the outside in. squashing nazis? oh yeah, I'm all for it.

>>2939316
>squashing nazis? oh yeah, I'm all for it.

Then you should get run over by a steamroller. Defeating nazis one step at a time.

>>2939226
Nah, we are not going to see that. Not Russia, not China.
Maybe the cartels inside the US finally run a massive large attack on a city, but that's that.

>>2939327
The Mexican cartels are controlled by the CIA, moron. When Reagan had his wife go on television to tell kids to "Say No To Drugs" he was using the proceeds from selling crack in order to fund right wing death squads in Latin America. The gangs and the drug trade have always been bound up with the Western intelligence agencies and the dog will never bite its own master.

Apparently Musk’s latest counter-accusation is that the Ukrainians hacked Starlink to circumvent standard speed limits, the slow down is SpaceX patching the hack. Rather than dispute it, ukro Xitter is claiming that Starlink being hacked by Ukraine proves it’s vulnerable and it therefore sucks lmao

Utterly incorrigible, I kind of admire it in them. They’d absolutely hack Starlink to allow coverage over Russia against the rules placed on a service they receive for free and has been the backbone of their communications for years, then scream bloody murder if that resulted in said free service rescinded to avoid losing the satellites.

>>2939322
And I don't remember ever specifically promoting lebensraum, untermensch v. ubermensch, judeo-bolshevism, aryan superiority ideologies, or promoting the arbeitsbuchkarte and arbeitsbuch as a form of economic coercion against workers (and corporate fascism) for any state.
Maybe me living rent-free inside your head distorted some of what I said or posted.

>>2939329
Did I say otherwise? Also, both things can be true: The CIA controls the cartels, the cartels can declare war in a city.
I can't wait to see the first mayor or governor openly calling himself socialist. OOF.

>>2939302
It's that the boer man decided to 'enforce the tos'. Apparently, they have the starlink, js, not at the same speed.

>>2939345
Yeah although it seems like Trump and Musk are chucking a hot potato between each other
>I don’t know about any slow down that would be Musk’s doing
>Ukraine has the civilian Starlink package, higher speeds are possible only with the Starshield Ultra+ Gold package whose access is up to the US government
I’ve said it before, Zelensky is now clearly the most important man in the world to have the US president and the richest man in the world sniping at each other over whose at fault for not giving maximum givas.

>Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski promised to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he brings about a "fair peace" in Ukraine. He asserted his right to make such a nomination, stating that he alone would judge whether the peace is truly fair.
same man that accuses trump, and the us more broadly, of 'stopping funding ukraine' since last year, btw.
man, the world leaders are too keen to have their lips colored with trump-color sucking off his orange balls.

>>2938673
You usually fire them in short bursts tbf, even in Ace Combat where planes have ludicrous weapon loads of 100+ missiles you'll run out in a minute if you hold the trigger down instead of tapping it.

well, apparently there was a 'peace deal' that was secret in 2023, and it was rejected by zelya and yermak.



>"Putin agreed with their proposal on the front line, Warnig said. He said that he could not allow Ukraine to join Nato, but was open to EU membership and a different security arrangement like the one discussed at the Istanbul talks. “If we can agree on the border and on Nato, then we can discuss everything else,” Putin told Warnig. But Ukraine’s success on the battlefield had changed the equation. Rodnyansky could barely get Zelenskyy and his powerful head of the president’s office Andriy Yermak to look at the documents on his phone. They told him they would make no concession to Putin on Ukraine’s borders and felt they could secure much of the rest of the group’s plan without giving up territory. Rodnyansky, who felt the US needed to pressure Ukraine to accept a deal, said they were acting as if Russia’s army would suddenly disintegrate like Sauron’s at the end of The Lord of the Rings. The Ukrainians, laughing, agreed. The Ukrainian presidential office and Yermak did not respond to a request for comment.

>Conn and Foresman had hopes of agreeing an end to the war by its first anniversary on February 24. Instead, the prospects for peace crumbled before their eyes. On February 18, the two Americans met Warnig in the Zurich hotel restaurant where they had first gathered. This time the message was very different. Putin had disclosed the channel’s existence to his foreign policy adviser Ushakov and three other top officials, and discussed the group’s peace proposal with them in detail. Putin had told Ushakov to confirm the Americans’ mandate when he next spoke with Sullivan. According to Putin, Sullivan told Ushakov the US had not approved the channel and thought its existing lines of official communication were sufficient."

>The draft of the plan: "The group began to shape their peace proposal. Russia would withdraw from much of the regions Putin had just annexed, setting the border at the territory it controlled in Crimea and parts of the Donbas before the war. Ukraine would recognise Russian control over Crimea and give Russia free passage over a “land bridge” to the peninsula. To ensure the ceasefire held, Ukraine would get protection from Nato states, and Russia would begin discussing a separate agreement on security guarantees with the US."

The alleged leaked plan was presented to Putin by an ex-Stasi officer, named Warnig. key difference between this leaked plan and the 2022 Istanbul talks is that the 2023 plan explicitly demanded that Russia withdraw to pre-invasion lines, a massive concession that Putin had not made in Istanbul and one that contradicts his stated maximalist goals.

But no one is using a critical thinking skill here. This defies military logic. In early 2023, Russia was preparing for a major offensive in the Donbas (the battle for Artyomosk, Bakmut, was raging) and had formally annexed four Ukrainian regions in September 2022 through the referendums. If Warnig in fact backed this agreement under whatever reasons it tells that he either isn't even close to Putin, or basically he is lolcow.

What was really happening with the Starlink scandal in Ukraine? A breakdown of technical modifications, hacker platforms, Elon Musk's restrictions, and why, by the end of 2026, drones started falling and Zelenskyy staged a pre-election Trump scandal.

Let's start with the plans. Within the country, only the civilian Starlink has always worked: the basic plan ($100), the commercial in-motion ($400), and the priority headquarters ($2-4k). Aviation plans cost up to $1K-20K-100K+, but in the country they are unavailable.

Due to the high load, the network was getting overloaded. SpaceX had to keep prices high for the military in order to build excess ground stations around Ukraine for minimal signal latency. By the way, these sites with antenna domes have recently started getting burned down on orders from the darknet.

The main problem on the front line is electronic warfare (EW). Due to GPS suppression, civilian Starlink chips were freezing, and with false location data, the terminal would lock. The solution was a GPS hack board. Engineers soldered it inside to manually set the required coordinates.

Hack platforms allowed bypassing even Musk's geographic zones. For a long time, Starlink didn't work in the gray zone under Russia's control. But if you entered the coordinates of a neighboring Ukrainian region—the connection would come alive. Russians took advantage of this too, until Kyiv received exclusive white lists.

By 2025, Musk began tightening the screws and reducing speed limits for commercial plans. But military engineers found a loophole: technically, the satellite-terminal communication session wasn't rigidly tied to GPS. The protection was only on the terminal module itself.

If the terminal thought through the hack board that it was stationary, it would send a radio request to the satellite itself and receive the necessary data for the session. There are already about 10,000 satellites, and the signal was picked up even with a scatter of 150+ km. The drone was flying, but the Starlink server considered it stationary.

It was an open secret. Before sending new Starlink units to the front lines, they were mass-opened to solder in a GPS hack and install robust waterproof connectors. This way, the standard plan allowed drones to fly at high speeds.

In early 2026, Musk reduced the speed of the commercial plan to 160 km/h across the entire planet. This is lower than the speed of many ordinary UAVs with a tailwind. But due to the widespread use of hack platforms in Ukraine, no one noticed this. Terminals reported that they were supposedly standing still.

AT THE END OF 2026, SpaceX responded harshly. Server-side verification was introduced: if the GPS terminal is stationary but switches from satellite to satellite too quickly at the same time (which reveals a real speed over 160 km/h), the server instantly terminates the session.

Against this backdrop, Zelensky is trying to gain unrestricted access to StarShield (the US military Starlink) in order to fly over the Russian Federation. But Trump, Musk, and the Pentagon are denying him. The Ukrainians are portraying the restrictions as a political blockade, glossing over the fact that the Starlink speed limit has been in place for a year already.

Right now, there's backroom ping-pong going on: Musk says he hasn't changed anything in recent days, Rubio states that StarShield is not available to Ukraine. Bottom line: Starlink is gradually being squeezed into the framework of use in vehicles and stationary setups. Bypassing the system no longer works.

It's unclear whether they've disabled speed checks or granted access to special aviation plans. The glitch affected a narrow segment of drones. In any case, satellite communication on ultra-high-speed drones was already a compromise due to signal delays of 1000 km to orbit and back.

Russian drone specialists are in no hurry to rejoice. The ease of using Starlink was hindering the development of other technologies in Ukraine. Now Kyiv can, in an emergency priority, refine more complex, autonomous mesh-AI systems that will fly deep into the Russian Federation. End of thread.

Written based on last year's newspapers, most likely not true and total nonsense. No one and nothing is right on the internet. The author is a boring schoolboy from Georgia.

Like look at this:

These modules have all to go through stralink servers first. And they can check in-real time speeds and connectivity types.
No one is fooled by this.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting: Britain must be ready for war in “a little over 1,000 days”

Labour’s Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has declared that Britain must be ready to fight a war in 1,000 days. Writing in Sunday’s Telegraph, Streeting warned that by 2030 Britain’s adversaries’ “force strength and war economy could put them in a position to attack.” Therefore, “My defining priority… is to make sure that this country is ready to fight and win a war. That is the only metric that counts.”

Streeting continued, “To prevent the worst, we have to prepare for it. In the first instance, that means expanding our capabilities so our adversaries think twice about attacking us. Should that fail, we must ensure that Britain is ready for war.”

The op-ed concluded, “That gives us a little over 1,000 days to complete our mission: to be ready with our allies to fight and win. This Government will make sure it is mission accomplished.”

The only adversary named by Streeting was Russia. He stated that the main threats to Britain were not simply the danger of “conventional warfare, or Russian tanks rolling across our borders”, but “the growing threat of state sponsored terrorism, sabotage and hostile acts designed to disrupt our lives, undermine our security and spread fear in our communities.”

Hardly a day goes by when Moscow is not accused of engaging in “hybrid warfare” against the UK via the means Streeting described.

Three days before Streeting’s intervention, the Cabinet Office published new “Be Ready” advice—kicking off a three-year campaign which urges every household to stockpile at least three days of food, nine litres of bottled water and other items needed to survive without access to supermarkets or electronic payments. The government said that being “emergency ready” was necessary to plan for “severe weather to cyber attacks, emergencies” that “can disrupt the services you rely on.”

Streeting’s intervention makes clear that the new guidance is really about war, as tensions with Russia are dialled up. The message is: if war starts, fend for yourself. Many households—after 15 years of austerity and a surge in the cost of living—cannot afford to stock up a pantry full of tinned food, water and other supplies.

Similar instructions are already standard across Europe. Governments that have waged NATO’s war against Russia in Ukraine for almost five years are pushing “whole-of-society” preparation for direct conflict with Moscow. In March 2025, the European Commission’s Preparedness Union Strategy proposed that European Union citizens should “adopt practical measures, such as maintaining essential supplies for a minimum of 72 hours in emergencies.”

The demand that the working class pay for rearmament and war is being raised in ruling circles everywhere. It is provoking mass opposition, with hundreds of thousands of young people and workers taking to the streets across Europe against cuts to social spending and escalating militarism. An Ipsos poll this month found that nearly half (48 percent) of adults say there are “no circumstances where they would be willing to take up arms and go to war for Britain.”

Streeting’s comments and the “Be Ready” campaign are calculated efforts to drive this rising opposition to militarism out of the news and encourage instead an “all-in-it-together” patriotism.

Since coming to office, and naming Russia as the UK’s main threat, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has committed £8.4 billion to Dreadnought nuclear-armed submarines, handed Ukraine the Stone Cloak electronic networks jamming technology, and pledged in Kyiv on August 24 to release classified blueprints so Ukraine can build its own long-range Storm Shadow missiles.

This is despite Moscow warning the UK in August that its increased backing for Ukraine could lead to “catastrophic consequences,” with “British military installations and equipment in Ukraine and beyond its borders” potential targets.

On September 2, at a press conference in Bishkek after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, Putin was asked whether British defence-industrial facilities on British territory could become Russian targets in response to UK arms supplies to Ukraine. He replied, “That’s a secret. A military secret.”

Central to the war fever are demands that military spending is ramped up in Chancellor John Healey’s first budget, on October 28, under Burnham, at the expense of welfare and wider social spending. Healey resigned as defence secretary on June 11 under Burnham’s predecessor, Keir Starmer, accusing the Treasury of being “unwilling to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country.”

As Burnham has not yet committed to spending 3 percent of GDP on core military expenditure by 2030, Streeting complained that war readiness was “getting lost amidst a fixation with percentages and dates.” He declared himself “100 percent confident” that the NATO target of 3.5 percent by 2035 would be met.

In a speech with the hallmarks of Downing Street co-ordination, the head of the British Army—Chief of the General Staff General Sir Roly Walker—addressed 700 soldiers at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire on October 15. “Our nation is going to need you,” Walker said, pointing at the troops, and warning of “extreme jeopardy in the world at the moment. And the business of soldiering is coming back into the nation’s psyche”

Walker said, “There was a time that our nation didn’t want to think of a time when it would need its soldiers to fight in a war”, but “very soon the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country, about just what is going on and where the risk lies.”

Citizens “have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security”. This meant “ultimately, we’re going to need them to back us, to back you, to do the one thing that you do that nobody else gets to do, and that is to take the fight to the enemy.”

Walker singled out the younger generation. “There is no other environment to my mind where the burden of fighting is placed squarely on the shoulders of our most inexperienced and junior soldiers, than in our land forces. And I’m looking at you because it’s on you that the defence of this nation will rest, if ultimately, you are called to fight.”

What these sacrifices will be was laid out in Walker’s speech to the annual Land Warfare Conference organised by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank on June 23. He declared then that “in an alliance, blood is the hardest and most precious currency that we can contribute,” as he revealed plans for a “second army” of recalled ex-service personnel for homeland defence.

Ramping up pressure on the incoming Burnham premiership, with Starmer having resigned the day before, Walker told RUSI, “perhaps, who knows, this is just speculation, not a policy position, but you may even need to go to a third army should we find ourselves looking at the long war.”

Conservative opposition leader Kemi Badenoch seized on Walker’s latest speech. “A powerful intervention from the head of the Army,” she posted on October 17. “Something is coming, and government needs to wake up… I have been clear where I would start: cut welfare spending and put the money into defence.”

Military figures have stepped up the campaign leading up to budget day on Wednesday. On October 21, former army officer Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Crawford told the Express that the government was “either unwilling or unable to fund defence properly,” demanding 3 percent immediately and 5 percent by the decade’s end. “If defence isn’t funded properly, and push comes to shove, we won’t need a welfare budget,” he said, “because we’ll be under someone else’s rule.”

The Sunday Times trailed that Healey would unveil “billions of pounds of new defence spending”, channelled through the National Wealth Fund and British Business Bank and financed by long-term borrowing. The paper considered this a “downpayment” on reaching the NATO targets.

Last Friday’s Times editorial insisted, “John Healey must seize the chance to tackle profligate spending” and backed Andy Haldane, former Bank of England chief economist and one-time adviser to Burnham: “He [Haldane] is right that Mr Burnham needs to ‘take the knife’ to spending.”

Everywhere looks about as hopeless right now. Without an actual organized communist party, which can only form through YOUR, yes YOUR effort, it won't get any better. At best there will be episodes of spontaneous action that result in visible but systemically irrelevant victories. The one country in the world that everyone internationally recognizes as the least hopeless, and in fact to be emulated, including reactionaries, also happens to have the largest communist party in the world. The point of communism is that it represents the point in time when things stop "just happening" and mankind takes responsibility for its own social forces, consciously.

Yeah, like in Ukraine. There hadn't yet been a communist revolution in post-Soviet Ukraine. The closest we got in absence of a properly organized communist party was LDNR, even with eastern Ukraine being very publicly pro-Soviet and pro-Russian before state-sponsored skinheads established their reign of terror there.

I think it's pretty significant that one of the first things Zelensky did when the war started was ban any party to the left of Attila the Hun and imprison their leaders.
