Skynet? Really?
Skynet is real.

Yup. Not the movie version - it’s real.
The biggest problem for the Ukies was laid out nicely by Gen. Jack Keane: The speed restrictions on Starshield and Starlink mean the Ukies new, fast drone-based interceptors’ control literally can’t keep up with the jet powered Russian drones, and cruise missiles. Those have already been quite effective - the number of civilians killed in Ukraine this year (~15,000) has jumped by roughly 50% compared to 2025. Additionally, the Ukies have trouble getting the warnings of attacks “out” to the public.
OTOH, Starlink, Skynet, and Starshield do not work inside Russia, so where the hell anybody got the idea that restricting such would hamper Ukrainian drone and missile strikes into Russia is pretty disturbing. We have people that ignorant feeding “information” to decision-makers in Trump’s Administration? Or, maybe it is just another attack on the Administration itself, from inside, to discredit it.
