It was incredibly generous of Musk to provide Starlink to start with. (I mean, has any other private entity made any contribution that compares? It's been more important, vital and timely than many countries help!) It's entirely reasonable for him to decide that as a private business he can't continue to give service away.

Non addicts will not smoke them. For starters, the addicts would not let them get near the good stuff :)
2,5k packs - that's what 2k addicts will smoke in a day.
500,000 cigarettes is nothing. Hmmm - are you sure cigarettes and not packs?

More Details On Latest US Military Aid Package. More HIMARS rocket munitions, more 155mm shells including specialized rounds. HARM missiles for destroying enemy radar/air defense, anti-tank weapons, 200 Humvees and small arms and ammunition.



The Four Month Long Battle of Bakhmut in the Donetsk Region... Continues with more Russian Attacks.



Wagner PMC is Reportedly Looking to Recruit Foreigners to Fill Its Depleted Ranks.

Middle East Eye said:
According to the sources, Wagner has sought to replenish its forces by recruiting mercenaries from Turkey, Serbia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Canada, Moldova and Latin American countries. The foreign fighters are being lured with higher than usual incomes.

Pre-war, Wagner paid its fighters between $3,000 to $5,000 a month, but the sources said those rates had now been bumped up to $10,000.

Wagner is also believed to have contacted local organised crime groups in Latin America and European nations such as Czechia, Moldova and Hungary.



Belarus is Sending Russia even more of its Tanks (looks like more T-72A's again) and military equipment Inventory. This comes on the announcement of a strong deployment of tens of thousands of Russian troops to Belarus as a "Joint Regional Grouping of Forces."

Associated Press Article on the Abduction of Ukrainian Children and Making Them Russian

AP News said:
It’s very hard to pin down the exact number of Ukrainian children deported to Russia — Ukrainian officials claim nearly 8,000. Russia hasn’t given an overall number, but officials regularly announce the arrival of Ukrainian orphans in Russian military planes.

In March, Russian children’s rights ombudswoman Maria Lvova-Belova said more than 1,000 children from Ukraine were in Russia. Over the summer, she said 120 Russian families had applied for guardianship, and more than 130 Ukrainian children had received Russian citizenship. Many more have come since, including a batch of 234 in early October.

Lvova-Belova has said these children need Russia’s help to overcome trauma that has left them sleeping badly, crying at night and drawing basements and bomb shelters. She acknowledged that at first, a group of 30 children brought to Russia from the basements of Mariupol defiantly sang the Ukrainian national anthem and shouted, “Glory to Ukraine!” But now, she said, their criticism has been “transformed into a love for Russia,” and she herself has taken one in, a teenager.

Wagner recruiting criminals to bolster their ranks...that's going to end badly for all involved. Wagner will get troops with EXTREMLY questionable loyalties. They'll likely see more equipment lost/destroyed on the battlefield which might just mysteriously appear in the criminals' countries of origin. Then you're going to see criminals return to their homelands with actual military experience.

Nope, this can't possibly go bad. /s

Note that this is what Nazi Germany did with children deemed "Aryan" enough in Eastern Europe; looks like Russia is continuing the tradition by taking Ukrainian Russian children back to Mother Russia.

How many children are not going to be returned after this war ends? How many will be brainwashed/develop Stockholm for their abductors? How many will go "missing"?

It's all crumbling for Russia -- troops are literally deserting en-masse or fragging their CO's so they can surrender. Their "allies" are turning their guns on Russian troops as soon as they're given said guns... from the Russians. Their state-sponsored PMC is turning to basically the international Mafia gangs for more troops (which is so going to end well, giving military hardware to these people!) and foreign mercenaries. Ukraine is either stealing or salvaging their top of the line (for Russia, anyway) hardware, forcing them to use older stuff in storage, while countries all over the world are donating/selling to Ukraine hardware and munitions constantly.

If this doesn't end with someone close to Putin just going up behind him and shooting him in the head, I'll be surprised.

Explosions at the Belgorod Airport in Russia.



US Intelligence and officials report that Russia is planning on acquiring short range ballistic missiles from Iran in the form of the Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar with reported ranges of 300 and 700 kilometers.



China, Egypt, Kazakhstan and other countries are recommending its citizens leave Ukraine. Kazakhstan reportedly is also closing/evacuating its Ukrainian embassy. Some of these reports are disputed as to the scale of the evacuation.



Ukrainian Combatants from the ahem... *clears throat* 'Hoods Hoods Klan' which despite the name to American ears, apparently have their origins in the long military tradition of soccer hooliganism (and the left wing/antifascist 'Popular front' political movement).
