    Care to expand on that? I also did not serve, but am very interested in your reasoning here.

    At this point there is no resolution to this situation that doesn't cause pain. IMHO Putin is in full-blown messianic complex and only his death will stop the situation from steadily escalating. If he wins in Ukraine it will be Finland, Sweden, Poland, Germany....he will never stop of his own volition.

    Russia warns hacking satellites would be ‘act of WAR’ after Anonymous claimed to have breached space defences

    RUSSIA has warned that hacking its satellites is an act of war after the country's space agency was reportedly hit by a cyberattack.

    Yesterday hacker group Anonymous claimed it had shutdown Roscosmos so that officials have "no more control over their spy satellites."

    Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin has denied that the agency was breached, but issued a chilling message to anyone who might attempt to do so.

    "I want to warn everyone who tries to do it that it is essentially a crime, which should be toughly punished," he told Russian media.

    "Because disabling the satellite group of any country is generally a casus belli, that is, a reason to go to war.

    "And we will be looking for those who organised it.

    "We will send all necessary materials to the Federal Security Service, the Investigative Committee, and the Prosecutor General's Office for relevant criminal cases to be opened."

    Nice try Jo Boy
    From your own link. Yeah i can google too.
    "I believe the coalition would not be capable of committing this crime without the material and logistical support of both the Obama and Trump administrations."
    That is simply an opinion piece.
    Facts of the matter are much different.

    Hitler saw plenty of blood and suffering in WW1. Instead of being appalled, it inspired him to even greater acts of horror. He was a nascent serial killer working in an abatoir.

    It takes an ego-centric, amoral monster to compare mask mandates and such to events in Ukraine.

    Absolutely increased gas prices hurt. They affect almost all commodities. And naturally the worst off are hardest hit. I am not minimizing.
    But ... This rich white dude who won't really be hurt by gas prices said the prices and even more so gender neutral pronouns are worse than what Ukraine is suffering. I call bullshit.

    I just feel there is phones in every hand now. It would be much tougher to go completely unchecked.

    I think you should re-read the last few paragraphs of the article you quoted. He made it perfectly clear he is not just repeating, but agreeing.
