@Tony_717 @Witherio083 @LauraLoomer Stop blaming the victim for defending itself against the aggressor.

[VidocQ @_VidocQ_]

@Tony_717 @Witherio083 @LauraLoomer If Zelenskyy wanted money for his own pockets, he wouldn't be leading a country fighting for its survival. Ukraine is defending itself against Russia's invasion. And if Putin genuinely wanted peace, he could start by withdrawing his troops from Ukrainian territory.

The fucking Russians struck the railway station in Dnipro.

They literally targeted civilians waiting for their trains.

So far, 13 people are reported dead and ten wounded.

For fuck's sake, what a fucking state of cannibals.

[Ihor Lachenkov @igorlachenkov]

The irony is that even Elon Musk’s own AI can fact-check him and explain why he’s wrong.

Russia hasn't launched another mass mobilization since 2022. Instead, it relies heavily on paid contract soldiers.

In 2025 alone, Russia recruited an estimated 364,000 contract soldiers. In 2026, it's still recruiting around 20,000–30,000 a month, offering signing bonuses averaging over $20,000, plus salaries and benefits.

By claiming Russians “have no choice,” Musk once again shows how little he understands Russian society. Widespread corruption, bribery, and draft evasion have allowed many Russians to avoid military service for years.

Many Russians aren't being forced to fight. They're signing up for money.

Coercion exists, but so does financial motivation. Hundreds of thousands are signing contracts to fight for money.

@Tony_717 @Witherio083 @LauraLoomer during the Revolution of Dignity. If you didn't know that, that's your problem, not ours.

Drones fly at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour or more. Starlink stopped working in Ukraine at speeds of 60–70 km/h.
Anything moving faster than that requires Starshield. All UAVs require it.

[Serhii Sternenko @sternenko]

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.

As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.

In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.

In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.

We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

Hey, Mr. @StephenKing, I think you need to hear this story.

This is Kostiantyn Vlasenko. He recently became the first person to be evacuated from a frontline position by drone.
He spent 491 days on the front line, during which he had to amputate both of his own legs.

In a recent interview, he shared that one of the things that kept him going was your novel The Outsider, which his wife had sent him in a package. He's a huge fan of yours. I hope you’ll see this story

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

It’s crazy the way so many of us are being gaslit and told we are on Ukraine’s payroll for calling out Russian aggression and Putin’s lies.

Do I live in another universe or was the entire GOP just cheering for Russian sanctions 1 month ago?

Remember that?

“Oh boo hoo Lindsey is dead. We are all so sad. Boo hoo. Russia bad. Boo hoo Lindsey Graham was such a patriot. Boo hoo.”

That didn’t last very long.

PS:

How come the FBI still hasn’t released Lindsey Graham’s toxicology report after Russian and Iranian state media took credit for his death?

Release the toxicology report.

Russia calls this “domestic production.”
Yet in the Geran-4 flight controller examined by Ukrainian specialists, no Russian-made electronics were found at all. Of 105 identified components, 80 came from 🇺🇸 U.S. companies — with @TXInstruments, including components from National Semiconductor acquired by TI in 2011, accounting for 58.1%.

@LauraLoomer @ZelenskyyUa A brief overview of the situation over the last couple of days.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

The American people should be thanking @ZelenskyyUa for blowing up the Russian data centers that housed so many of Russia’s bots.

Russia spends $2 billion per year on information warfare and much of that warfare is directly targeted toward the West, President Trump and the US.

I for one am thankful to see less Russian bots online sharing Tucker Qatarlson’s content and accusing everyone of being a pedophile and an Israeli spy.

This means less Russian interference in our elections online since Russian state media spends all of their time online attacking Trump and sharing tweets from anti-Trump podcasters.

39 ballistic missiles in a single night, missing US early warnings, and Starlink restrictions. Coincidence or mounting pressure on Ukraine?

On the night of October 14, Russia attacked Ukraine with 39 missiles flying on ballistic trajectories and 128 drones. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, only four missiles were intercepted. Some of the others failed to reach their targets.

The 39 missiles represent the highest number recorded in our verified sample of attacks over the past three months.

However, Russia had already been increasing its use of ballistic missiles over the summer. In August, the Ukrainian Air Force reported approximately 50 ballistic missiles launched in a single week. It would therefore be misleading to attribute Russia's current tactics solely to recent developments in relations between Kyiv and Washington.

But another troubling pattern is emerging.

Just yesterday, we cautioned against jumping to conclusions about a possible suspension of US intelligence sharing, particularly early warnings of Russian missile launches. There was no independent confirmation of such a decision. In fact, US officials publicly insisted that intelligence sharing was continuing.

Yet President Zelenskyy has now explicitly stated that Ukraine failed to receive advance warnings from its partners about ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv on two consecutive occasions.

Meanwhile, reports have emerged that SpaceX has introduced restrictions affecting Starlink terminals operating at speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph). According to Ukrainian military personnel, these restrictions have already disrupted combat missions involving drones.

Each of these developments could have a technical explanation when considered separately.

Taken together, however, they raise a serious question: Has Washington begun intensifying pressure on Ukraine behind the scenes by exploiting its dependence on critical American technologies?

This is particularly concerning amid reports that Trump has demanded an end to Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.

For now, Ukraine appears to be refraining from such strikes, while simultaneously facing restrictions that affect its own defensive capabilities. This deserves a public explanation from Ukraine's partners.

Could there be undisclosed agreements between Washington and Moscow?

The timing of diplomatic pressure, failures in early warning, and restrictions on satellite communications warrants thorough international scrutiny and investigation.

Because if a country that provided Ukraine with security assurances is using technological dependence as a means of coercion while Russia continues its massive attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, it raises a fundamental question about the value of international security commitments.

And that is yet another reason to remember the Budapest Memorandum.

[VidocQ @_VidocQ_]

@Witherio083 @LauraLoomer Exactly, and this is how Ukrainians are holding back the Russian onslaught right now. russians understand only strength. If we do nothing and russia wins this war, it will mean the end of the civilized, democratic world. That's only logical.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a Russian data center was blown up today and Russian state controlled bots aren’t as active today.

Russia’s information warfare is part of their military strategy.

They have data centers full of bots meant to undermine the West.

[VidocQ @_VidocQ_]

@LauraLoomer Yes, after Yandex's servers were damaged, bot traffic dropped. Even the bots attacking Sternenko on YouTube disappeared, and the same happened to other bloggers.

[VidocQ @_VidocQ_]

@LauraLoomer + Kyiv has also been partially plunged into darkness, and the water pressure pumps are without electricity too. All of this happened today.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

BREAKING:

Russia has just blatantly disrespected President Trump by violating the energy ceasefire he announced on Truth Social today. Russia violated the energy ceasefire in less than 12 hours, proving Putin is a liar.

Russia just attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which is less than 40 miles away from the Russian border.

Russia never keeps their word.
