Except that he didnt decide to withdraw support after someone literally hurt his feelings online.
Documents obtained by CNN show that last month Musk’s SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon saying it can no longer continue to fund the Starlink service as it has.
It's funny to joke about - but like a lot of stuff on these threads, its not exactly true
Musk is billing himself as a billionaire philanthropist who is trying to better humanity, but in reality he's a money hoarding egocentric businessman who can't deal with the slightest criticism.
I completely lost any respect I had for him when he called that cave rescue guy a 'pedo' for not frothing over his stupid mini sub idea. Completely showed his true character.
Now he wants to be lauded as some kind of saviour in the Ukraine war. The Ukrainian ambassador was too bloody right in telling him to **** off.
Lukashenka confirmed counter-terrorism operation regime in Belarus, says deployment of Belarusian-Russian joint forces in Belarus is a part of this
Belarus is about to commit to hostilities in a way it hasn't before
Will any country neighbouring Belarus get involved ? Does this change anything ?
like Poland? unlikely!?
A: SpaceX decided to donate/fund a portion of Starlink services to Ukraine, this was their choice. It was also huge advertising for the company.
B: To potentially threaten to end such a service during a war, when people's lives are hanging in the balance, is absolute insanity.
C: Apparently a portion of the cost of Starlink is covered by other entities, now they'll dump the entire cost on someone else because their notoriously infantile and unstable boss is "bored" of Ukraine and/or wants to appease Putin.
What is ridiculous about suggesting the big players coming together to broker some agreement both sides in the conflict can live with. ?
This is how wars are usually settled and fortunately in this case Ukraine holds the better cards regarding negotiations and their outcomes.
Keep a close eye to see how long it will take for Luka to get Gaddafi'd
I have an awful feeling Putin is playing him and it will end very badly for both Lukashenka and the people of Belarus. Taking a lot of his military hardware last week was the start of it, leaves them restricted in ability to defend themselves.
Must be a quiet day in Russia:-
The Liv vs Lettuce video:-
When all this is done and dusted I can see Russia occupying not Ukraine, but Belarus.
IMO, this the sole/real/ only reason why Putin is attacking Ukr. He has a very long term vision - a bit of Georgia here, a bit of Moldavia there , a bit of Ukr this year, a bit of ????? Next !!!!!!!!? . I’m not telling you. It’s a secret!
Nobody is really sure, Poland may get involved but they have been quite about it ,
It might not change much but if they can force troops across the border with Russians and their equipment they could cause short term problems for ukraine
I wonder if a 'Special Military Operation' in Belarus is Putin's Off ramp... Taking over Belarus would be a LOT easier than Ukraine, and Putin gets to add a big chunk to Nova USSR. It's so crazy it just might work!
Only for Ukraine to likely sustain even greater infrastructure damage in retribution for any such attack. Estimates suggest that there has been well over $100 billion in total damage to physical infrastructure in the country since this military campaign began. Researchers suggest it could potentially cost close to twice that number to repair/replace damaged and destroyed infrastructure.
Of course, little if any of this work can even be started until some sort of peace treaty or ceasefire is negotiated.
And there will be no West helping Belarus like they have Ukraine if such ever happened, at least I can't see such happening.
Your request for Russian surrender will be considered. Can you get back to us as to how soon this can be arranged? This will greatly reduce costs in lives and infrastructure.
Thank you very much for reaching out.
80% of the cost of providing starlink was borne by the US, UK and Poland. Musk (because you know he put margin on it) has provided nothing bar soundbites and unwarranted twitter polls. Don't frame it as a charitable act when you then pull it due to a cost you never bore anyway. The guys a tosser and I hope the US pull all his government funding. He'd be broke in a year.
Doubt this missile was cheap.
The chippys in Ukraine must be flat out building BUKS, Himars, Ceasers etc
Might just happen yet, when you get too big for your own boots and start believing your own propaganda, things can collapse.
How do we know it was wooden? (I know the point is to make them look real 😀 )
Do you think that your mates might still have a supply of suitable missiles in 9 months time?
Russian President Putin: A confrontation between NATO forces and Russia will lead to a global catastrophe
Putin is threatening the globe with a catastrophe, day 234
Apparently it is because there was no secondary explosion.
Had it been a real BUK then the missiles that that has would cause a second explosion.
SMO in Belarus?
He wouldn't even need to, sure Luka is. Only short of bending over at the border and personally welcoming Vlad aboard.
Sure it was putin who personally sponsored the legislation to allow Luka to be immune from any prosecution for decisions he made as president, while also allowing the permanent station of Russian troops in Belarus
But, not technically part of Russia. He'd also need some sort of pretence, such as Luka being corrupt or something Putin will pretend to care about. It'd only be an off ramp if Putin can run a 'do you want to be part of Russia referendum' and incorporate it into Russia proper. Luka would need to be a scape goat.
He just has to say he's going in to protect Luka from regime change.......
The the same regime change they invaded ukraine to force on the Ukrainans
They need to make their mind up.
Sure their talking heads have been saying they have been at war with NATO for months.
