" Wish I had more input"  
Thank you for **all** of your input. You are real and I don't know anyone who could say what you say. Don't diminish or hold your self back.  
 "Because the USA is helping it to. "  
It is so difficult for most Americans to understand this. Russia has been attacking critical infrastructure, logistical hubs and energy so successfully with the use of low flying drones. They are virtually radar proof, they are not limited by fiber optic cable length and they fly 30 feet off the ground. They are jam proof because they are using the StarLink system. Some say that they have got the receivers through 3rd party, some say they have modified or made a technological advancement of some sort, or who knows?  
[Russia is using Starlink to make its killer drones fly farther](https://kesq.com/news/national-world/cnn-world/2026/01/29/russia-is-using-starlink-to-make-its-killer-drones-fly-further/) - CNN article  
"Musk himself did respond to criticism of his technology being used by Russia earlier this week when he was asked by Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski on X why he doesn’t “stop the Russians from using Starlinks to target Ukrainian cities.”

"Musk responded by calling Sikorski a “drooling imbecile” and saying Starlink was “the backbone of Ukraine military communications.” He did not address the question of Russia using the system."  
  
Russia's StarLink drones are all over the W.W.W. right now. The vast majority of them say that they are using these drones to attack civilians. They will talk about them hitting a bus while showing you a picture of a burning tanker or a passenger train with a zoomed in picture of the last car on the train. Get it?  
Personally I believe that this is a case of creating a weapon that your enemy has figured out to use against you.   
  
Back to the weather and what next. It is February 1 in that part of the world right now. I wonder if the Ukrainian's are  
no-shows in Abu Dhabi?

**" I am wondering who is running things here"**  
Our country and the West as a whole are dysfunctional. In my opinion no specific entity controls anything so we are subject to ever more chaos. There is more than one CIA, more than one Deep State and more than one Military who's objectives and ideologies may/do/have clashed at times.  They literally have kinetically fought each other via proxies. *The ultimate power of control of a nation are the creditors.* We spent 1.8 T more than we took in last year.  I do not understand exactly who or what is this amorphous entity we are in debt to is?  I am damn sure that there are more than a few seats at it's table.  
Sorry I disregard any talking head that claims that they put their finger on this.  
  
**"Re: Russia acquiring StarLink technology - This is bad."**  
I think that it's more like a physical hack than getting the tech. Somehow they got receivers on their drones but they may be developing their own system anyway. This is bizarre but StarLink  slowed down in Ukraine. I mean it physically slowed down all drones Ukrainian &amp; Russian as in mph until they figure out what to do. I do not think that communications or signal strength slowed in the traditional way of thinking. The way I understood this is almost like they have a governor on the drones.   
  
**" It feels a bit like nukes: once the tech is out there, anyone can get it."**  
I understand that but for some reason I don't feel that way about this Tech. I am the opposite of an educated Tech guy. The Armageddon threat that I feel is if someone starts destroying satellites. It's like if one goes they all have to go. So much for Golden or Iron Domes.  
Maybe a good Tech person could comment about all of this?  
  
 **" I am concerned for our country's safety, and this threatens that."**  
I'm a bit relaxed about StarLink. My instincts fear the threats closest to me which is the build up to a Color Revolution. Though it is not an insurrection yet it could turn into one. The response of the politicians in Minnesota confirm that for me. I'll be keeping an eye on the build up to November.   
  
I would love to talk about the moral high ground but I think it needs to go in the next reply. In the mean time please don't hesitate to comment on any of this.  
I appreciate your thought provoking comments, insight and abilities.

The Moral High Ground  
I am not a theologian. I hope others will add or detract from what I have to say just please no stand alone Bible. Russia is Orthodox and I'm pretty ignorant on the subject being raised Catholic. There is a big difference in the cultures and the morality of war. This is not just about Orthodox vs Catholics but the the various cultures. Russian Orthodoxy never recognized Thomas Aquinas as a Saint. He came up with the "just war" concept. That war is just if these three thing are met;  
**\*Legitimate authority:** Only a sovereign with the duty to protect the common good may declare war.

**\*Just cause:** The war must respond to a serious wrong, such as self-defense or correcting an injustice.

**\*Right intention:** The aim must be to achieve peace, justice, or prevent greater evil—not conquest, vengeance, or domination  
This of course justified the Crusades.  
Russian Orthodoxy does not does not see any war as "just". There's no such thing. They never sanctified a KIA soldier or even a military person for military prowess. I think they have to abstain from communion for three years if you kill in battle. From my view these are huge cultural differences between them and most civilizations that put them on moral high ground ideologically.  
  
Putin has taken a lot of heat domestically not being more aggressive and retaliating hard when they have been attacked and betrayed with fake diplomacy. He has consistently held his end of the bargain as far I can see.   
The Epstein files are revealing some interesting things making me rethink some of what I thought and have posted here about Putin's  Chabad connection. And I don't think he's Jewish. Here is an excerpt from a [file  
](https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00090314.pdf)  
"(U)CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency. Chabad is basically state-sanctioned

Judaism. %%It is used by Putin to keep tabs on all the Russo-Jewish oligarchs.%% On the day Trump was elected President."

It goes on but takes too much space when I copy and paste here. So who's controlling who? He uses Chabad to weaken the government here as well while he keeps them in check there.  I remember that he jailed only one oligarch when he took control. A Rothschild banking oligarch. There's more. Our attempt (Bill Gates style) of a color revolution there didn't work and Putin criminalized LGBTQ. He literally started sending the LGBTQ people/agents? to the U.S. Talk about using your enemy's weapons.

I kinda got sidetracked in what I intended to say because the of Epstein docs regarding Putin.
