Hamas knocked out Israeli watch towers before they cut holes in the fence and began to murder un-armed citizens, including children.
Would Fleming believe Trump, who is still saying the 2020 elections were stolen? How about Putin and Xi….are they true believers? How about British and Israeli Intel? Will Trump employ Starlink to protect…..California? He and Putin hate Powerful Democrats like Gavin Newsom, and Kamala Harris. So does Musk.

“Zelenskyy said Kyiv was discussing the issue with U.S. officials, and he was told the restrictions were linked to technical issues. The Ukrainian president added, however, that Starlink appears to be operating at higher speeds on European Union territory.”
I am puzzled about the loudspeakers at the Nova dance in Isael.
“At 6:35 a.m., the commander of the Ofakim police station, Chief Superintendent Nivi Ohana, who was the senior officer on duty at the party that morning, decided to shut down the event. He called over the loudspeakers and members of the production team did too, ordering the partygoers to begin to disperse.”
Wouldn’t the Hamas rockets be a – great warning?
The investigation found that the IDF did not make any adjustments to its defenses for the party; did not deploy loudspeaker warning systems to alert partygoers of rocket fire; and did not hold any assessment that specifically dealt with the large civilian event near the Gaza border.”
Trump acts like he doesn’t know….PUTIN ATTACKED UKRAINE WITH TANKS!
How come Trump isn’t using videos to show how great Ukrainian Troops were, and still are, since the Putin Untrusion?
“Whoa! Go get em! I gave those weapons to Zelensky! Netanyahu loves this massacre, and wants to do this to the Iranian Army! KABOOM! We might join in! I need some glory, too!”
Over the course the campaign, British officials were as alarmed as their US counterparts over the extent of contacts between Trump advisers and Moscow and by Trump’s consistently pro-Russian stance on a range of foreign policy issues.

Israel said on Wednesday it has approved the use of Starlink services in a field hospital in the Gaza Strip, and in Israel for the first time.
“Israeli security authorities approved the provision of Starlink services at the UAE’s field hospital operating in Rafah. Starlink’s low-latency, high-speed connections will enable video conferencing with other hospitals and real-time remote diagnostics,” the Communications Ministry said in a statement.
Starlink will also be enabled in Israel, it said, and will be able to be used by “local authorities and governmental bodies.”

British intelligence reportedly provided a vital tipoff to the US in 2015 about the extent of Russian hacking on the presidential election.
The report on the UK’s involvement came after US intelligence agencies published an unclassified version of their finding that Vladimir Putin ordered a multi-pronged operation to interfere in the election in favour of Donald Trump.
Ukraine still unable to intercept Russian drones due to Starlink restrictions, Zelenskyy says

Ukraine is still unable to use its interceptor systems against Russian drones, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday, because of speed restrictions imposed on Starshield, an upgraded military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink, amid an ongoing row with President Trump.
“Unfortunately, we can’t use Starlink or Starshield technology on our territory today to shoot down jet-powered Shaheds,” Zelenskyy said in an online group chat with reporters at the EU Summit. “They fly, and we can stop them with aircraft and other air defense, but we don’t use Starlink for that, unfortunately. God willing, this will be restored.”
Zelenskyy said Kyiv was discussing the issue with U.S. officials, and he was told the restrictions were linked to technical issues. The Ukrainian president added, however, that Starlink appears to be operating at higher speeds on European Union territory.
“Yes, we are in dialogue at the level of the military, the Ministry of Defense and diplomats, in touch with everyone including SpaceX. Nobody there is answering our military or the Ministry of Defense now,” Zelenskyy said. “At various levels they say these are technical problems.”
“Here (in Ukraine) Starlink works up to a speed of 161 km/h, then shuts off,” he continued. “In the EU it works at 180-plus and works constantly. Here it shuts off in the second minute after 161 km/h and stops working. We lose both drones and connectivity.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, when asked about the situation Saturday on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews, said, “Starshield is a defense product, a military product, and as I said … that is something that we have, the military, United States military, uses. It’s not at this moment available to Ukraine, and that’s under conversation. It’s under discussion right now about how they would want to use it.”
“I don’t know what Zelenskyy said, I’m not sure Zelenskyy knows what he’s talking about, but it wasn’t deliberate,” Rubio said. “We had nothing to do with that. I don’t, the United States, nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sort of happened, but my understanding is it’s been restored, it’s back to what it was before.”
Rubio went on: “Starshield is a contract with the U.S. military, it has nothing to do with Ukraine. I know Ukraine wants access to Starshield, they do not have Starshield now. They’ve asked for access to it in order to conduct deep strikes inside of Russia. They do not have access to it at this moment. Those are two different products.”
Denys Sienik, the chargé d’affaires of Ukraine to the U.S., told CBS News in a statement later Saturday that Ukraine had still not received a response from the Pentagon or SpaceX regarding its inquiries about Starlink or Starshield service, “including confirmation that unlimited speeds have been restored and that Starshield is operating as it did previously.”
Sienik said “based on the data currently available to us, we cannot confirm that these capabilities have been fully restored.”
Mr. Trump told reporters on Friday he had not limited Ukraine’s access to Starlink, adding he didn’t believe Musk, SpaceX’s CEO, was responsible either.
“Well, I don’t know if it was anybody because it wasn’t me, and I don’t think it was Elon,” Mr. Trump said while leaving the White House to travel for a rally in Georgia. “And from what I understand, it’s the same as it’s always been.”
Musk said Wednesday he isn’t responsible for deciding how Starshield is used, writing on X: “Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.”
Starshield is essential to Ukraine’s armed forces as it allows personnel to communicate and carry out strikes, including by maintaining contact with drones across long distances.
On Saturday, Zelenskyy said Russia carried out a large attack on Ukraine’s energy sector, targeting more than 15 critical power generation and transmission facilities across the country. A day earlier, the president said the current restrictions on Starshield had left people vulnerable to Russian drones, which was “very painful and frustrating”
Ukrainian officials and soldiers told CBS News the country’s military began experiencing sudden difficulties with Starshield equipment late Tuesday, including speed limits that made it more difficult to carry out missions with fast-moving drones. Sources in Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense said SpaceX had unilaterally imposed the Starshield restrictions.
Mr. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Zelenskyy in recent days, blaming the war between Russia and Ukraine for high global energy prices. The Trump administration waived restrictions on buying Russian diesel last week in an effort to ease pressure, a move Zelenskyy argued could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a social media post on Saturday, Zelenskyy called the move “unfortunate,” adding the act, championed by late Sen. Lindsey Graham, “could have helped enormously.” Later, he told journalists he believed the Trump administration will lift more sanctions on Russia.
“Unfortunately, the lifting of sanctions will continue. I believe the ‘diesel deal’ is just the first step,” Zelenskyy told reporters.
“President Trump has been clear that he wants to see this brutal war come to an end. As talks continue, this Act provides the President with additional authorities to pursue a peaceful resolution,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told CBS News on Saturday in response to a question about lifting the sanctions. “Enforcing the sanctions provisions now would impede ongoing U.S. efforts to negotiate a durable and comprehensive peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. The President retains the ability to exercise these authorities at any time if he determines that doing so would advance national interests.”
Mr. Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop striking each other’s energy infrastructure — announcing an “energy ceasefire” over the weekend. Zelenskyy initially said Ukraine was willing to abide by such an agreement, but that Russia’s strikes never ceased, and several days later he told the Financial Times his country would no longer hold off on striking Russian refineries because Russia was still attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
The Russian government never confirmed it had agreed to a ceasefire.
In a Newsmax interview late Thursday, Mr. Trump called Zelenskyy “not a good guy for us to deal with,” argued Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries would be a “disgrace,” urged both sides to make a deal and said the Ukrainian leader is harder to deal with than Putin.
“I’m not a big fan of Zelenskyy,” Mr. Trump said.
