I can just see this happening while literally negotiating at the table. Like US and Iran are there, the mediator mediating, someone walks in and whispers into the US sides ear, they say carry on everything is fine and continues. A few minutes later someone walks in on Iran’s side and whispers into their ear and they freak out.

Russia has enough nukes that 99% could fail and it’d still wreck your country. It is still a legitimate deterrent and always will be.

Hey, so God just told me Im the rightful owner of the world.

Everyone get the fuck off my rock.

So if I read this right

They left the states and couldn’t return because the guys visa wasn’t valid anymore, but Canada turned them away because of the car.

At that point you should probably apply for asylum now and refuse to go back to where you don’t have valid papers anymore.

Or have the person with no longer valid papers walk through if they’ll let you and the other person go back.

I’m not sure something like this would ever have resulted in an arrest? Even in other countries?

An impeachment and conviction and removal from office though should be in the cards, but obviously won’t be.

Damn, why did i never think of that. Brilliant.

“Are you sure you don’t want to bring a jacket?” almost never succeeds.

Ah yes, so i can be imprisoned and used as a bargaining chip, no thanks.

Serhiy Beskrestnov, known by his call sign “Flash,” is the advisor on defense technology to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the same analyst who identified the Starlink connection to the train attack earlier this week.

Beskrestnov’s thread revealed a secondary challenge that is less dramatic but possibly more important for the long-term solution. Ukraine needs to collect complete information on all Starlink terminals in use across the Armed Forces, and soldiers have been reluctant to cooperate.

The problem is straightforward. Many soldiers use volunteer-provided or personally purchased Starlink terminals. These aren’t on any official inventory. Soldiers fear that reporting them to their commanders will result in confiscation, failure to replace them, or other bureaucratic headaches. Beskrestnov was blunt about this, acknowledging that previous attempts to catalog military Starlink use had failed for exactly these reasons.

This matters because any whitelist system only works if you know which terminals belong to friendly forces. Of the estimated 200,000 Starlink terminals operating in Ukraine, fewer than half were procured through official government channels, according to a December 2025 analysis by Militarnyi. The rest exist in a legal gray zone of private purchases, volunteer donations, and foreign sourcing.

Beskrestnov promised to find a way to gather this information that earns soldiers’ trust. He also stressed that SpaceX is directly involved in the process and is actively assisting specialists from the Ministry of Defence.

Okay, I’m going to write this out once because every single post that’s about this ends up with lots of comments like this with tons of upvotes, and this is getting fucking ridiculous.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST STOP IT WITH THE OMG ELON COULD HAVE DONE THIS EARLIER, HE’S A RUSSIAN NAZI STOOGE WHO IS KILLING UKRAINIANS BECAUSE HE DIDN’T AND THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE EPSTIEN FILES ETC ETC ETC.

Ukraine did not want to implement a whitelist until now.

Let me repeat that

Ukraine did not want to implement a whitelist until now.

Ukraine and SpaceX have been working together on various counter measures this entire time, but they did not want a whitelist, as they weren’t getting buy in from their soldiers, and having to whitelist the entire country is not an insignificant amount of work.

Soldiers were worried about having their donated or self purchased dishes taken. I’m sure civilians were worried as well. Civilians are dependent on it just as much as the military is, so it has to be a country wide program that comes with it’s own technical challenges.

Russia, being the dicks that they are, started putting Starlink dishes on drones and hitting civilian targets, and these Starlink drones were harder to intercept & jam, so when they realized what was happening, Ukraine immediately asked SpaceX for help because the threat was to large. SpaceX immediately responded with a blanket speed limit to stop the drones from being used, and then worked with Ukraine to finally implement the whitelist.

There is no conspiracy here. This isn’t Elon deciding okay I’ll help you and finally make a whitelist. This has absolutely nothing to do with the Epstein files and Elon wanting to look good.

This is Ukraine detecting a new threat, asking SpaceX for help, and SpaceX helping them to the best of their ability.

Maybe try to be more informed about what is going on than remaining in your (rightful) Elon hate bubble that you can’t see the forest through the trees.

/end rant.

Just children??? I see they do mention adults as well, but come on, that title downplays it.

I’ve read stories of certain flavors having chemicals that aren’t good to be vaping as well. That’s not a vaping issue though, that’s a regulation issue about what can be in the vape liquid. It’s is or at least was the wild wild west on what was being put in them.

Maybe they had it right in Ready Player One.

Even that could become a risk if they are banned in the country. They can be detected and your location triangulated.

This would be a set it up somewhere that’s not home, use it quickly, pack it up and go type situation.

I think drones play a pretty big role in the difference as well.

In all other wars to date, you weren’t being chased by drones in the sky that drop grenades on you, and if they miss or you still seem alive/able another one takes it place to try and finish you off.

I’m shocked fruits and vegetables are even on the same line as meat and dairy. Big Agri didn’t pay them enough

If they push for something like emission standards in the US, other states get drawn in since OEMs need to adhere to California and it’s often easier just to make the 1 product everywhere, but that also ripples outside the country to some extent.
