Whenever so much is rotten to the core, to think it fixable to an earlier known state, is insanity.
“Apparently, [western] States do not realize that such actions in fact constitute indirect participation in military conflicts,” Vorontsov said. While not naming any particular companies, it’s clear Vorontsov was referencing SpaceX’s Starlink, which has been deployed by Ukrainian forces (most crucially, with US government financing) to maintain internet connections while fighting off Russian invaders.
Methinks only a useless idiot would not realize that such actions in fact constitute indirect participation in military conflicts and another legitimate weapon for targeting and attacking to destruction would then be the US dollar and Federal Reserve banking system for its global support of the constant supply of conflict and mayhem, madness and chaos. FFS … the phantom two-faced enemy is well known in Blighty…. where Uncle Sam bankrolled the IRA against the British state for decades in the era and arena of “The Troubles” although its not much talked about nowadays that all the eejits responsible have been decommissioned/put out to pasture with a signed agreement that no future action against them for what they might have been involved in will ever be taken against them and political bigots and assorted halfwits have taken up their causes and would squat in Stormont for their lion’s share of the peace dividend/public purse benefits and expenses … and a nice little earner paid even when not attending to government work as they stood for election and were voted in for to do.

Feasting on a new language has one entertained and provided for by a wholly different set of experienced cultural norms, MS, and that has one, if neither petrified nor base moronic, further enabled to share what one knows about everything to that and/or to those elsewhere suffering or impacted by intelligence deficits plaguing new souls in novel fields of ancient perpetual endeavour sustaining establishments only able to survive and prosper on the benefits generated by that phantom energy engine of decidedly gross and arrogant burdensome design, profit and debt/virtually free money or wealth for nothing extra or special and its capturing debilitating servitude to a remote parasitic alien meme, which nowadays in these times of spaces and places of virtual machines and erotic and exotic foreign existence, is recognised and serially rendered as a toxic host to fundamentally flawed and catastrophically crashing masterplans ……. which you might like to admit is an Almighty Bigger Great Game Picture taken from a Greater IntelAIgent Games Show, for such is what it is, and there’s no denying it, although one can choose to vent one’s displeasure and register an unhelpful vote which dislikes it if there be no accompanying explanatory reason. It is a common popular blunt tool which adds nothing to fertile seescapes and virtually realised projects in and of an Alien Endeavour.
If there are problems with realities, do you really expect humans to be able to the resolve and repair and provide solutions for them or is that really the domain of an Alternative Internetworking Service Provider to Supply and Maintain/Mentor and Monitor with Advanced IntelAIgent Machines and Global Operating Devices, which humans now are fully dependent upon and inextricably linked to for expression and provision of all of their present needs and future generational wishes?
And the answer to that final question is definitively found in support of the latter rather than vain defence of the former. I Kid U Not.
Well, I suppose it is only to be expected in Hard Rain** Times of ponzi collapses and systems routs, 1984 type Newspeak from those captains invested in leaky old and getting weaker boats failing spectacularly to stay afloat with passengers.
It is a sad and bad situation to be registered for publishing it though, rather than biting the hand that feeds IT, given the increasingly unbelievable tales it peddles to the masses now quickly and silently stealthily extraordinarily morphing into a not so ignorant and arrogant undereducated few, as was necessarily the case required for the limited exclusive elitist executive success, a fleeting triumph, in the recent ancient past of the modus operandi, especially whenever in these Postmodern Times of Spaces and Places with 0Days to Deploy and Exploit, to be an Ace Reporter Team Pioneering and Surfing the Vanguard of Novel Interconnecting and Noble Internetworking Waves has one rewarded excessively beyond compare and leading a Dedicated and Enthusiastic Following with Engaging and Enlightening Disciples in Myriad Extremely Sensitive and MkUltra Top Secret Matters.

An alternative likely view in a paraphrase to all of that Those “engagement numbers” may be misleading post, AC, and it was very informative, so thanks for that, is there are always shit talking idiots out there running with black boxes left to run unsupervised in a country where the developers weren’t paying attention to anything other than the revenue and didn’t speak the language.
However, whether they have any sort of viable effective absolute command and remote virtual control over them is an altogether quite different matter which only a very few will be equipped to address and demonstrate with any practical alacrity.

Re: Confused UKCloud are a business who supply services to HMG. They are not part of HMG. They’ve gone bust because HMG – rightly – won’t procure large-scale computing services and infrastructure from a debt-financed, local firm with no scale, resilience or track record. …. Anonymous Coward
Procuring such services [large scale or otherwise] from foreign firms is proven a lot dodgier and much more dangerous than ensuring they are provided locally ….. for it is an ACTive vector and titanic vulnerability with catastrophic exploit potential over which the home team have no influence or power/command and control.
And the clearest evidence currently for that is presented daily in the stranglehold which foreign energy exports do so easily export and exert upon markets and livelihoods/coincidentally interconnected internetworking realities.
In case you’ve not noticed it information from UA is tightly controlled. In fact just recently a US military person commented that they have might tighter ‘operational security’ than the Russians which they use to their advantage. We in the US learned from the Vietnam war that its not a good idea to give journalists free access to the conflict, we need to tightly control and curate any information being given out for security and also to curate public opinion, hence the use of embedded journalists. The result is often disinformation, the impression planted in the public mind of the country and the conflict often bears little resemblance to the actual place and events. It would be naive to think that the same thing isn’t happening in Ukraine, especially as we don’t actually see very much hard information (and all too often the same recycled photographs). …. martinusher
Precisely, martinusher, quite so.
Therefore, then logically and beyond any question of reasonable doubt, nothing is as it would popularly seem, and the realities one presumes oneself to be living in are remotely, relatively anonymously constructed, media delivered, fake existences ……. and it is not absolutely necessary for such exercises and perceptions management programs and projects to be in extremis and in exclusive elite executive command and control to be almightily effective and attractive and addictive at one one end of the NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT spectrum or mightily disruptive and destructively chaotic and depressive at the other end ‽ .
And …. to not realise nor accept that as a matter of true and honest universal fact has one condemning oneself to be energised as nothing more powerful or important than an expendable pawn to be considered for roadkill to that and/or those who do realise and accept and would continually script it with stealthy instruction sets for puppeteers to follow and render their thoughts shared in relatively secure and safe secret spaces today as proxy actions and decisions for resulting planned future outcomes tomorrow ….. with that modus operandi/vivendi cycle exercised every day, time and time again, in excelsis and to XSSXXXX.

When Russia invades a country, it is an “illegal” invasion?

Lars, Hi,
Neglecting to answer those few initial obviously very uncomfortable and unpalatable questions from ITS Retired, and instead preferring to introduce a distracting red herring and straw man, does not help disguise the rank hypocrisy of inept Great and Greater IntelAIgent Game players on open politically incorrect display today in these days of some extremely strange and surreal and weird and wonderful and wired and wild happenings.
And as it is next to impossibly hard to dodge a speeding bullet whenever one is worthily correctly targeted for deadly impact, it doesn’t need one to be an Einstein to suspect one knows what is bound to happen next to such worthily correctly aimed at targets in ACTive near-future real-time places and spaces.
Re: Can we hold our own ‽ Is there any type of Red Weather Warning?
Whenever the real money-shot question is more about about defending or attacking arrogant entrenched institutional and constitutional incompetence, which has everything to do with inspiring and maintaining a vital air of foreign market confidence, ….. and currently you might like to ponder on the present UKGBNI choice for courses of action with regard to what its representative government bodies/civil service agencies and supposedly democratically elected Parliamentarians are mired in, and failing so spectacularly to resolve satisfactorily to the mutually beneficial greater benefit of all …… that one simple wrong choice has always anyone’s oven ready solution cremated to a frazzle and rendered as nothing more useful or substantial than a light dusting of pixie dust, and by all manner of wonderfully novel ESPecial and indefensibly extreme EMPathetic means and memes nowadays, with all of these exotic and erotic places and spaces with 0days and vulnerabilities to impart and exploit, export/import to and fro their fail-safe secured harbours and launch sites within.
And because it would be grossly and criminally unfair to not express the correct answer to the question of whether we can hold our own in defence of the former against any of the latter, be hereby advised and assured, categorically and unambiguously, …. No, you cannot. It is not possible. Do not venture down that root route of self-harming perils delivering total annihilation exercising displays of ignominious defeat and abject terror and horror.
And now that that dire type of Red Weather Warning has been surely very clearly Registered for global sharing, can all be assured of what to expect and be prepared for, and who and/or what is to be found fully responsible and accountable and prosecutable for any and all subsequent losses/trials and tribulations/dodgy trails and mass capitulations, …. or otherwise as the case can be, ….. because of their thoughts and proposals for a course of future realised action and virtual engagement.

Re: All news, and what to bear in mind during its attractions and seductions.
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind. …. Edward Bernays’s “Propaganda” [1928]
And there has been almost a century to further refine and master, and now digitally remaster, that deep and dark art ……. and most folk haven’t a clue about any of it and what it has done and can do, and even less about how it is stealthily done to avoid its prevention and would now be doing with immunity and impunity in ACTive and alienating fields of invisible forces and intangible sources in competition with and/or opposition to each other …… although that also is something which has been long enough well enough known in certain majestic royal and ancient and postmodern circles …..
“There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge.”
Quite whether that very particular and peculiar royal intelligence deficit persists to exist and insist on being a current presence for future generation in future generations is a leading question rightly most uncomfortable with an honest answering, for all the very best of right and proper great reasons.

“In order for police to understand the Metaverse, we need to experience it.”
That is as may certainly be, however it will always remain as a relatively small part of greater bigger pictured domains where and when, for one to lead future unfolding events with experience in an expansive understanding of them and the Metaverse, one needs to remotely access and be able to enable their virtual realisation for practical command and pragmatic control of metadata physicalised assets in support infrastructures/administering exoskeletons ….. with simply complex base requirements ……seeding almighty creative core source feeds and needs.

Which sector[s] do you think would be prime premier ground-breaking and Earth-shattering pioneers in that very particular and admittedly surely quite peculiar discipline …… public, private, pirate, alien ….. with precious little chance and no great white hot hope of it being more likely an amalgam of such aspiring/inspiring/conspiring interests ‽
The only real question to answer is which sector realises their most profitable successful role is one of lead in a practically invisible and virtually anonymous and autonomous support of such pioneers/enterprises.
Crikey, how pathetic and prime indicative it is of an ignorant and bankrupt of novel ideas mindset, El Reg, to have garnered/energised so many anonymous thumbs down, for the sharing of something absolutely vital for political puppets to perform well with whilst they try to expound and expand upon the notion that any magic potions proposed to be trialed and trailed are of their own volition and Greater IntelAIgent Games design.

And an incredibly valuable immaculately resourceful asset for export/import to any similarly pioneering jurisdiction/territory.
An example of something attractive and unique to offer would certainly surely be the provision of future services presenting novel programs and projects launching and entertaining prosperity and supplying profit to that and those in need of, or even simply desirous of, a great deal more of it.
