Totally agree. If we decide that abandoning the Ukraine to the Russians is the best course of action, I doubt that Putin will leave it there having got away with it once. Then we will have to make the same decision again.
I'm hoping that his own people will bring him down as, if not, we are looking at WWIII now or in the future, nuclear or otherwise. |
Further to your queries about internet access last night, a truckload of Starlink sat broadband dishes have arrived in Ukraine, courtesy of their owner, Elon Musk.

Starlink is based on the latest low-earth-orbit technology, and uses hundreds of fast moving satellites that would be extremely difficult for a hostile actor to jam. The connection is fast and reliable (I have friends using it very happily in Wales, where there’s scant ADSL or 4G). It does, however, require a specially designed, motorised dish. You can’t use a TV dish, or even the sort of fixed sat broadband dish that has previously been used to bring broadband to hard-to-reach places.
