Somewhere in this thread I'm sure it was mentioned that purportedly Russia has expended 70% of their smart munitions. I'm assuming shooting down a satellite would involve some sort of smart technology but have no idea. Regardless, to icon's point, Starlink can probably produce them faster than Russia can shoot them down.

Well, Elon and the US government are in somewhat of a conflict right not regarding the operation of Starlink satellites in Ukraine.

Couple weeks ago. I don't think he's particularly happy about when the US government is scratching billion dollar checks for the Ukrainian war effort but I also think he knows that if he pulled the plug, the dynamic in Ukraine would change drastically for the worse.

Russia’s war in Ukraine is a result of a centuries-old dangerous mainstream ideology of Russian chauvinism, and of the oppression this ideology has produced. Let’s take a look at the cultural dimension of this oppression through the lens of Russia’s stereotyping of Ukrainians

Grain ships sail despite Moscow's pullout from deal; missiles rain on Ukraine
Ships brought grain from Ukrainian ports on Monday, suggesting Moscow had stopped short of reimposing a blockade that might have caused world hunger, despite suspending its participation in a U.N. programme to safely export grain from the war zone.

Last week, @SpyTalker published a solid piece commenting on how RU's lack of an NCO Corps were the chief cause of failure in UKR.
It not the only one, but it's a huge contributor.
We'll see implications of that as winter approaches

Putin’s next escalation is coming. How should the West respond?
Policymakers must strike a balance to deter and, if necessary, respond to escalation in ways that impose heavy costs for Russian misbehavior but do not further escalate the conflict.

The West must not let Putin freeze millions of Ukrainians to death
Unable to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield, Putin is now deliberately targeting the civilian population and openly threatening to freeze millions of Ukrainians to death. The West must not stand by and let this genocide take place.

Just wanted to thank @themeistersinger for the effort in here.
This is still one of the most impactful global events to occur in my lifetime. Will have some far reaching and long term effects on the world economy and future political alliances around the globe.

No don't because that's how this thread will get locked. There hasn't been anything discussed in the last few pages that would, just focus on the war and it will be fine. Don't take the bait.

Russian state TV is telling the viewers that it's better to die than to lose the war to the wicked West, claiming that if they lose, Russians will be on display in Western zoos alongside the animals.

Is Putin scaling down his war aims?
As the seasons change, the war in Ukraine has entered a new phase. Following a series of major reverses the Russians are digging in, in the hope that the autumn rains will bog down any further Ukrainian counter-offensives, perhaps allowing time to train and equip their newly-mobilised conscript...
