Ukraine had a pentagon????? 🤦♂️
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
Insert MAGA for antisemite. Your parents must be so proud...

So when I urinate in that cup, do you have to read the results and transcribe them into the portal, or does the help do that?
starlink has helped Ukraine. Your agenda to suggest otherwise is brainwashed nonsense you ***** nincompoop. Stop being such a manipulatable dummy
So what about the contracts? YOU WERE WRONG. Just like the righties saying they were absolutely certain trump couldn't fire the fed chair. So why should we believe anything you write? Slither back under the rocks...

Internet service- not infrastructure for a drone strike. In your pee test labatory technician world, I can understand how far over your head this is. I don’t hope to educate you, this is real high tech science stuff. But rest assured it’s more complicated than your YouTube vegan influencer posts you probably get into.
"The country's military"...but show what a jackass you are.
The second link discusses a new military contract with the PENTAGON
The first may well have been with the CIA. your guess is as good as mine on who the "private donors" were...
I don't hope to educate you either. You have your mind made up and your set narrative and no actual news or facts will change that.

They immediately have nothing left to contribute once you force them to think beyond the mainstream media talking points- like robots malfunctioning when they can’t compute the data being inputted…
It’s quite illuminating, actually, as well as amusing…😉
Yes, link some relevant info to support your point. Cuz I have and the righties like you ignore it.

Just now, Over 29 years of fanhood said:
your writing is more difficult than usual to decipher, granted. But it sounds you are arguing Musk is an asset for the nation of Ukraine- so what’s the issue?Well the first issue is that you wrongly said there was no military contract. The next is that he squelched a potentially devastating drone attack on Russia by shutting down starling. Are you being opaque for fun or just because your can't read?

and this
"SpaceX, through private donations and under a separate contract with a U.S. foreign aid agency, has been providing Ukrainians and the country's military with Starlink internet service, a fast-growing network of more than 4,000 satellites in low Earth orbit, since the beginning of the war in 2022."
US foreign Aid agency and private donations. Hmmm...CIA?

So this article says Musk is going out of his way to help incurring deficits.
so which is it?
It's this
"The Pentagon contract is a boon for SpaceX after Musk, the company's CEO, said in October it could not afford to indefinitely fund Starlink in Ukraine, an effort he said cost $20 million a month to maintain."
The US is now funding the $20 mil a month or some amount not announced as described further in the article due to the sensitive nature of the deal. Can u read?

Ukraine is the sacrificial lamb in America’s economic proxy war with Russia…It has NOTHING to do with democracy, liberty, or any of the other cute catch phrases our captured msm wants to propagandize to you to get you to support the war (just like the Iraq War)…But it has everything to do with the US wanting to be the main energy supplier to Europe, instead of Russia…is that worth 500,000 Ukrainian lives? How about 1 million? And why stop there?
If we stop support, then they become sacrificial lambs. They are fighting for their lives. Look back at what Stalin did to them thru starvation. They haven't forgotten. They know what will happen if they lose.

nope- they did not. You’re full of *****. Since you support Ukraine are you fine with them using all the devices in your home to cyberattack the Kremlin even if you house burns down as a consequence?https://www.army.mil/article/254316/army_tests_commercial_satellite_internet_in_pilot_program

did they sign a contract with starlink saying we are using your satellite constellation to attack a sovereign country?
they did sign a military contract. and it was Russia that invaded a sovereign country The drone attack was going to be in Crimea. Which was Ukraine until a few years ago when the russians invaded.
https://www.army.mil/article/254316/army_tests_commercial_satellite_internet_in_pilot_program
my understanding is that The Dept of Defense is looking into or already entered into alternative sources.
2 hours ago, JaCrispy said:You mean back in 2014 when American backed Nazis were slaughtering the ethnic Russians that lived in eastern Ukraine?
Maybe you can help explain that story to me…😉
Sorry, man, but if we’re being fair, we have to tell the WHOLE story, and not just the part that fits a narrative or an agenda…
You mean like about slavery...

Home invasion is different…The Ukraine situation is about the US creating the problem, and then using tax payer dollars to keep it going- pushing us closer and closer to WW3….
Make no mistake, if WW3 ever does come about, it was by choice…
The US wanted Russia to invade Ukraine killing 100's of thousands, destroying crops and infrastructure and kidnapping their kids? Really? Used to be that R's worried about communist creep. This time it's a jump with most of Eastern Europe within reach. What is wrong with you?
I think the Russian's do. And they'll be totally annihilated if they use nukes. I don't believe they want that any more than we do. We could use that excuse to abstain should they enter Poland or the next country. The possession of nukes can't be a free pass...

Here's what I learned a long time ago. I believe it still holds true today.
1. In the modern world, democracies don't got to war with democracies. Really. Try to find a counterexample. At least one side is some type of authoritarian government. This is called "the democratic peace."
2. Wars are therefore explained by two factors: (a) the existence of an aggressive dictatorship or other undemocratic regime; and (b) the lack of effective deterrence.
We can easily see that with Russia and Ukraine. Factor (a) is self-evident. Factor (b) is seen in the weak - in reality, nonexistent - consequences of Putin's invasion/annexation of Crimea, and in the tepid expressions of support for Ukraine in the international community, including the United States. With respect to the USA, this is not a Republican/Democrat or Obama/Trump/Biden issue. The support for the independence of an intact Ukraine was tepid under all administrations. There was likewise a lack of clear support from Europe; imagine something formal from Finland and Sweden saying that they are beginning negotiations to join NATO with an eye toward doing so if Russia does not respect the territorial integrity of the (non-Crimea) Ukraine.
Sometimes the theory does explain everything, but we only recognize that in the rear view mirror.
Perfect...unless you desire authoritarianism.

Helluva way to "end" a war.
And yeah, that won't embolden Putin at all.
As I understand it, Musk isn't saying he's doing it to favor Russia or disfavor Ukraine or any such thing. He simply doesn't want his company to get involved in the hostilities at all. If he provides Starlink access to Ukraine to facilitate civil communications, and continues to do so, that's still a good thing.
He ordered his starlink engineers to turn it off destroying a Ukrainian drone mission that he was concerned would look like Pearl Harbor. Not his place.

I think this is reality. Its most likely at this point that Russia is going to prevail absent any direct military involvement by US or NATO forces. Zelensky is not going to get back Crimea or the Eastern provinces. Heck, there are provinces in Ukraine with majority ethnic Polish and Hungarian populations that might choose to become part of those countries when all is said and done. This war of attrition has cost Ukraine most of their effective fighting forces along with seeing foreign mercenaries fighting on their side exit the confrontation at this point. News that recruiting standards have been lowered to conscript less qualified men into the Army as the populations of men in good fighting condition dwindles is a clear sign of stress. Soldiers are being sent to the front without any training, some kidnapped by security forces off the streets. Many that get sent to the front are killed in action immediately. Those trained on US and other NATO country weapons systems have been instructed how to operate the weapons and systems but not how to apply them successfully in combat. The Spring offensive has been a failure. Meanwhile, Russia has built up a sufficient fighting force that is sizeable enough to prevail in any war of attrition along with building up their domestic munitions industries. Their performance has been far from perfect with consistently bad leadership but the math doesn't lie.
Nobody here is rooting for Putin as that ridiculous charge gets thrown out there any time some other posters want to invalidate another's opinion that deviates from the official view. We can wish all we want for Ukraine to prevail but reality needs to be the place where smart and fact-based decisions are made. Again, if the US and NATO are not willing to engage in direct combat operations this conflict is lost. If they are then there are other risks and issues to consider.
As long as the Ukrainians are willing to fight for their lives and country from invaders, we should support them. Nuf said. And Musk should have no part in the outcome.

True.
Believe it or not, I have posted likes and agrees for lots of posts coming from people ostensibly on the other side of the political spectrum. Read the post before responding!I do also, on occasion. Unfortunately, the occasion rarely arises from the other side. But I rarely get likes from them...and that's just fine by me.

Yes, because you're with the party of law and order. Except when you aren't. Did you notice any liberals crying about Hunter being likely to get 10 years? Any "but what about Kushner?"

I've gotten the eye roll when I post something I'm quite sure he agrees with.
It's knee jerk. Poster = A; Response = B (eye roll)
There's a thread here about "why are you here?" I was nice and said sometimes I learn something. People have different experiences and knowledge, and believe it or not, sometimes I do learn something.
More often, though, it's like a window into people who are just impervious to logic or reason. People who keep posting the same things even when I've pointed out how they are objectively wrong. Example: I've now seen the "Vanguard and Black Rock own a huge percentage of Apple/Microsoft/Netflix/Whatever." I've pointed out that this "ownership" represents the mutual funds/ETFs that individual investors and things like pension funds own. Vanguard/Black Rock do not own them in their own portfolios.
Instead of saying, "thanks for the clarification" or at a minimum simply not repeating that misunderstanding, they continue on as if nothing has changed.
So I'm not here to change anyone's mind. But I have learned a lot about how some people are so dug in to their beliefs, even if those are based on misinformation, that those beliefs will never change.
That's real insight ...
exactly. This hate for mutual funds is bizarre. And he's on the side calling others commies or socialists. These people are certifiable and should be ignored except for entertainment value.

Please tell me how you are absolutely certain based on vast knowledge, that trump couldn't fire the Fed chair. It's sure to illicit a laugher. Oh, and then call anyone who disagrees a fool...x for the Wharton prof with a JD who specializes in SCOTUS and works for Brookings...

How about they did nothing to preempt it, left the standard Capitol Police contingent swinging in the breeze to deal with 100K protesters, and let it happen while the National Guard was held back a couple blocks away until 8 PM when it was all over in order to exploit it for political purposes? How about those people? Not a one of them responsible for allowing the Capitol to be undefended has been questioned or held to account. But Joe Public taking selfies in the Rotunda gets a year for trespassing.
Even if this was true, no one forced them to illegally trespass. you seem to be saying the traitors were entrapped? C'mon....

CNN and NYT also reporting on him turning off Starlink when Ukranian drones approached Russian ships. An unelected crazy MAGA playing actual master of the universe. Feel free to comment.

It’s a rhetorical question.
I don't believe I've ever posted a laughing emoji in response to a directly answered question. Rarely get the opportunity since the right so rarely direvcly answers questions. Cryptic, evasive responses trigger actual laughter at the pathos...

lying again. I practiced for over 30 years. Well over 100k patient encounters. Still boarded. License has lapsed because I don't want to pay for something I have no plan on using but it wouldn't take long to get licensed in literally any state. Could go back to work anywhere in the US or many other countries tomorrow. Your pushback was that there were no military contracts. But keep being dishonest. It's clearly your nature.
