Ukrainian drones lost satellite connections mid-mission, while allied early-warning systems failed during two consecutive days. Ukrainian forces detected incoming missiles only as they approached the capital, leaving sleeping civilians with little warning.

Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin.

So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim?

Oh, I know! The US.

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants."

This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
