Luckily none of this is remotely possible. Simply because the West (especially the USA) has all the clever people, all the high tech, and all the innovation. The stupid and uncreative Chinese, Russians and Iranians can only try to copy what they steal from the USA.

So obviously they cannot have superior satellites or software. It's just not possible.

Non Anglo-Zionists are so stupid that they would have to go into the future to steal ideas (and washing machine control designs) from the West and then return through time if they were ever to surpass our stable genius.

The US/nato et al have handed all their electronics/cyber/satellites/ IT whatever over to the private sector which does as little as possible for as much money as possible so what do they expect?

On the other hand - good for Russia - if it is true.

WOW !!! This will explode some very vulnerable Think Tanks...

Great news Julian !!

But i have something news from the front in Ukraine, the SMO. It just partly confirms your sensing...

Zelensky has said and that has been accidentally become open...

1. The US will completely withdraw and not give us any AID. (Bologir Zilinski). The Ukrainian army has very few missiles left for air defense and MLRS systems. Later, the Ukrainian military department confirmed that if the United States does not resume the supply of weapons to Kiev, the remaining stocks of anti-aircraft missiles will last only for 18 days. As for the MLRS missiles, their stocks will only last for 10 days.... Furthermore:

The head of the office of the president of Ukraine notes that although Britain, France, and Germany have already announced they will continue purchasing all necessary weapons from the United States for further transfer to Kiev, the Trump administration has not yet approved such a deal.

Zelensky ordered the evacuation of all ministries and government institutions to the city of Lviv. As evidence, he showed the relevant document of the cabinet of ministers of Ukraine. This document says that all government agencies of the country should open their reserve offices in the city of Lviv. Regrettably for Zelensky, this document was leaked in open access after the presidential office staff made a horrible mistake. They forgot to mark this document as confidential...

2. On the morning of July 7th, the first details of this missile attack on the Crimean bridge appeared. Sources within the Russian military confirmed that all enemy cruise missiles were intercepted with the advanced fifth generation S500 Prometheus air defense system. As for the enemy kamikaze drones, they were intercepted with the Pantsir S1M air defense systems. Furthermore, sources in the Russian military department admitted that the Russian army uses S500 systems not only in the Crimean Peninsula area, but also in other areas of the special military operation zone.

I would suggest to NATO that they look to the increasing input from the sun for their satellite problems, rather than blaming Russia and trying to stir up another excuse for increased hostilities against that country. Check out https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceWeatherNewsS0s for more information about this threat to our entire civilization.

Just one of those aimed at Earth would have the potential to knock out our entire electrical grid. Then it's back to the stone age for us all....

That is correct Kevin...

The people who have lately (last 2 years) enjoyed the beautiful 'Northern Light' or Polar Lights or Aurora Borealis as south as in Texas... mostly did not realise that this is a clear sign that the Magnetic Field of the Earth is becoming weaker and weaker. The speed with which the Magnetic 'North Pole' is traveling to another point has increased considerably and scientist predict a complete swap of the two Magnetic Poles. Something the Sun does every 11 years.

The Earth does that once every few 100.000 years. (We have a massive iron core.) The last recorded Earth reversal, the Matuyama-Brunhes reversal, occurred approximately 780,000 years ago. So it seems to be a bit past its due-date.

When an X-Solar Flair hits the earth during this period, very serious problems on Earth could take place. Not only Satellites... NO electrical circuit can survive that. not even in mines. The larger, the more damage. Just saying.

Hi, dear Julian. I love your optimism, but how does this Russia's apparent overwhelming dominance of satellites fit in with the constant drone attacks on its territory from Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan?

Wow, if what this post says is true, Russia’s basically changing the whole game in space warfare. An AI-driven satellite network that can block or mess with US and NATO satellites without even a traditional hack? That’s next-level.

Re - I went to Rand.org’s website, and did a search with your quote: “Russia is systematically interfering with the work of American satellites.” I couldn’t find the RAND report. Could you share the reports link? Thanks in advance.

The original document was in Russian translated from English and then translated again into English so it will be hard to find the if -- and it might not be on the website I checked, too. I don't know the provenance of this or it if is"authentic"-- but we DO know that Russian has been upgrading its space capabilities and has the edge in software and electronics.

The best hitech developers in the US are young Chinese citizens. The US has in the last couple of decades enticed the best young minds with financial incentives. But all of that started to become irrelevant a few years ago. A lot of these young foreign mainly Chinese specialists. Found they could earn the same amounts back home. Where they don't suffer racial abuse & hatred. In the US there seems to be a culture of, if you can't make easy money it's not worth making. They've became a very lazy population. Not everyone of course but it seems to be the general trend. As a result America has clearly fallen behind China in hi tech & Russia militarily. Andrei Martynov never stops banging on about America losing the arms race & being stick in the early 90's. Maybe this contributed to the shock of how developed the Iranian missile tech was. It certainly look that way. Do we remember King of Bullshit the Donald talking about his countries super super hypersonic weapon in his last term. It still hasn't appeared & by christ it would have if they had one. As the Russians always state, it's the actions not the words that mean everything. Putin is finally showing glimpses with certain comments. He knows they're weak in many areas that Russia & China aren't. In a conventional conflict America wouldn't last 2 weeks against either. Russia & I dare say China also have much more advanced nuclear missile delivery systems than the America also. Which means we are going to hear a helluva lot more bullshit from Donald of how fantastic they are.

Oh, those JIZZers.

So we must re-name the adversaries of our proper and correct conscience in order to articulate them for all to understand- to know- the face of the real and foundational cancer. Awakened, thus, now to rid the world of this scourge; a scourge so nicely re-defined and herein branded by a perfect, and so far unused, definitive acronym:

JIZZ: Jewish... Israeli... Zionist... Zealots.

JIZZ.

And for the sake of humanity, if not our own self-preservation, it is well past time that we…

“Wipe the JIZZ... off the face of our Earth.”
