He was making a direct counterpoint to the idea that the war was about regime change. So it would have been relevant to the conversation. When asked about Iranian deaths, he made relevant comments about that: www.cnn.com/2026/03/08/p...
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve here.
This is literally what happened under Stalin. I think Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote the quote, "don’t ever be the first one to stop clapping!"
That's lovely and cryptic, which makes it more lovely
Well I'll be damned. Look at that. Thank you!
Why does it say raccoon fight?
"Ericsson noted that the compromised provider has yet to find evidence that the data has been misused since the breach."
Well, I haven't found evidence that their CIO can't breathe on the moon.
That is so cool. Congratulations! I'm sure you'll make a positive impact in big ways!
He sounded completely drunk or having a stroke... or I don't know what. I can't believe this is reality.
I'm speechless with how Portland this is and hate that I can't look away
Probably the same way I "watch" Paw Patrol with my son.
Something tells me their target audience also expects a double-feature showing The Birth of a Nation as the lead-in.
I can't wait to hear about the reign of the fourth Reich for another thousand years. We seriously can't be any more on the nose about fascist, master race bullshit on US social media. It makes me so sad
It would be if done knowingly, but there’s no evidence that’s the case. The more likely explanation is gray-market or intermediary resale. Still, given the stakes, SpaceX’s re-export due diligence deserves scrutiny, and I’m not aware of any investigation clarifying that either way.
Am I the only one who feels like there has been a huge gap in re-export enforcement and due diligence here?
This feels less like a question of intent and more like whether current export-control frameworks are adequate for globally deployed, software-defined satellite systems operated at the discretion of a single firm. Where is the independent oversight or OIG review of Starlink re-export risk?
That doesn’t equal guilt, but it does justify closer investigation and clearer regulatory expectations around re-export controls, monitoring, and rapid enforcement.
SpaceX controls a privately owned, dual-use communications infrastructure with battlefield consequences, and its past posture toward governance, controls, and regulatory engagement hasn’t inspired confidence that diversion risks are treated with the seriousness they warrant.
Once credible reports emerged that Starlink terminals were being used by Russian units via re-export or gray markets, due-diligence obligations became a live issue.
I’m not asserting that SpaceX illegally sold Starlink to Russian forces, and I don’t think the public evidence supports that claim. My concern is narrower and more structural.
Letters and frameworks aren’t accountability. If Congress believes misconduct is occurring, the concrete tools are subpoenas, budget constraints, statutory mandates, and OIG or GAO investigations. Anything short of that isn't governance. Oversight without consequences is just brand management.
That is the freaking coolest (warmest) looking sweater.
Ah yes. I remember the last time a mission was completed so well. Nothing foreshadowed here.
Rumor has it the best death metal band in Denton never settled on a name.
Maybe we'll finally get our pony based economy?
Commiseration transcends spacetime.
It makes me so happy we can all come together like this to celebrate common ground... Also, I'm in the Pacific Northwest and have no idea what just transpired but something something Edmund Fitzgerald to you all too.
I literally enlisted saying, "It's not like we're in a war or anything." Woof
Same as a "elder millennial" here. 9/11 was my graduation week from Paris Island. I'd argue the events of recent history were more impactful to a person than their birthdate.
