SwimModSponges Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Elon Musk, now under investigation by multiple US agencies after personally speaking with Putin, has decided he will no longer provide communications services to Ukraine. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/13/politics/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-ukraine/index.html Quote Though Musk has received widespread acclaim and thanks for responding to requests for Starlink service to Ukraine right as the war was starting, in reality, the vast majority of the 20,000 terminals have received full or partial funding from outside sources, including the US government, the UK and Poland, according to the SpaceX letter to the Pentagon. [...] Musk on Friday said that in asking the Pentagon to pick up the bill for Starlink in Ukraine, he was following the advice of a Ukrainian diplomat who responded to Musk’s Ukraine peace plan earlier this month, before the letter was sent to the Pentagon, with: “F*** off.” “We’re just following his recommendation,” Musk said on Friday, responding to a tweet that referenced CNN’s reporting and Melnyk’s comments, even though the letter SpaceX sent to the Pentagon was sent before the Twitter exchange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) 15 little known facts about Ukraine Apparently the attempts at culture erasure go way back... "In the course of Russification, Russian officials have distorted many Ukrainian surnames. For example, in the nineteenth century Ukrainian family of the Chekhs became Chekhov for some reason. Grandfather of famous writer Chekhov was still Chekh, and writer Chekhov wrote that his grandfather was Ukrainian. Quite funny Deinecks turned into Denikin. Cossacks Rozumy became Rozumovsky, Tchaika become Tchaikovsky. Petro Chaika, grandfather of Petro Tchaikovsky, the great composer – graduated from the Kyiv Mohyla Academy and was sent to the Russian government headquarters in Vyatka. Probably the Ukrainian atmosphere in the Tchaikovsky family was much better preserved than in the Chekhovshom; from the age of 24 almost every year the future composer lived in Ukraine for several months where he wrote more than 30 pieces, among them – the opera “Koval Vakula” (also known as Cherevichki), Mazepa, song-romance “Cherry Garden Blossom by the Hut”, musical parts for the poems by Taras Shevchenko. In the brutal times of the onset of the empire onto the Ukrainian language, he sought staging of Taras Bulba by M. Lysenko and used many Ukrainian folk songs in his masterpieces."

While they are very likely being directed through an encrypted signal, those can be cracked and hacked. It's a bitch but it can be done and I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already working to figure it out. And, related story time. The airport near here has a drone catcher. If you are stupid enough [ or just didn't realize such things exist ] to send up a hobby drone into any airspace where planes usually pass, the drone catcher hijacks the drone. It flies it safely to some jail for drones near the airfield. I wonder if it's possible to use that catcher tech to at the very least draw those cheap drones into a specific area and away from civilian target areas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia is very clearly targeting civilian targets and that will be very debilitating for morale. All it will take for the GOP to take over in the midterms and they will block any support to Ukraine.
