The satellite in question was launched in 2014, so it should be well within its age of operation.

Husband, father, natural philosopher, and now grey child of the Pacific Coast. My old man once said that civilization ends east of US-395, and I am grateful he is no longer alive to see just how true that statement was.

So, the men are supposed to hang out with other men.
Are they allowed colored socks?

No worries.
There are literally tens of thousands of combat vets back from Ukraine with knowledge of how to make much more devastating weapons that Molotov cocktails.
The UK has a higher threat level than Vietnam.
I'm thinking there is more than a little Orange Toddler Tantrum than reason in that map.
Yeah, but the remaining Nokia bricks will go on, and on, and on...

Ah, the final dodge to avoid having to address an obvious and specific contradiction in their central thesis:
The special snowflake blocked me.
So, for all time, their response to a request to explain/defend their LIES:
Imagine what your community could do with a buy-me-a-coffee link!
How articulate of you.
Please tell us how Poland's exercise of its recognized sovereign right to join any alliance in 1999 caused Russia to invade non-aligned Ukriane FIFTEEN YEARS LATER.
It is an absurd position, but it is YOUR absurd position.
Explain it.
In other words, you cannot refute that Russia is in blatant and gross violation of its own promises put to writing in the Helsinki Final Act, aka the OSCE Charter.
So now you are just trying to distract by flooding the zone with shit.
Who do you think you are, Steve Bannon?
The fundamental reality is that the Cold War ended with both the US and Soviet Russia endorsing the Helsinki Final Act as the blueprint for European-Russian-American security.
It is Russia which has blatantly violated this security blueprint.
This is why Russia is a pariah.
Enjoy isolation!
This is historical fact.
Feel free to read the OSCE reports on the matter.
Russia violated every security agreement it had with Ukraine and the rest of Europe, repeatedly, including the Minsk Agreements.
This is why Russia is a pariah.
This is why Russia cannot have good things.
Since Ukraine was a declared non-aligned nation in February of 2014 when Russia started the war by invading, your argument falls rather flat.
Lies tend to do that.
Ukrainian public opinion did not come remotely close to supporing NATO membership until AFTER Russia's second invasion later in 2014.
... which is laughable, as you have recognized, but it is YOUR laughable position.
So, please explain to us how Poland voluntarily joining NATO in 1999 caused Russia's invasion of non-aligned Ukraine ...
... FIFTEEN YEARS LATER.
Ukraine was not seeking NATO membership when Russia invaded in 2014.
Your claim that Russia's invasion was due to "NATO advancing to Russia's border" does not apply to a country not in NATO and not seeking to be in NATO.
For it to have any validity, it must mean Poland...
Ukraine gave up its ambitions to join NATO and declared itself non-aligned on July 1st, 2010.
The caretaker government appointed following Yanukovych being denounced as a murderer and a thief by his own party and his fleeing the country reaffirmed this status in March of 2014.
Lie much?
The black letter text of the Helsinki Final Act is not "manipulation".
It is reading comprehension.
Russia has blatantly violated its word given in the central security agreement for Europe WHICH RUSSIA AUTHORED.
This is why Russia cannot be trusted.
This is why Russia cannot have good things.
The Charter of Paris EXPLICITLY used the HFA as the centerpiece of Russo-European security.
The HFA recognizes the sovereign rights of each country to territorial integrity AND the ability to join ANY alliance.
It was RUSSIA which grossly violated these promises.
HFA, Article 1:
The dissolution of Yugoslavia was an internal matter of the captive nations of Yugoslavia.
The HFA specifically notes the need to honor other international agreements, such as the UN Convention on Genocide, which led to Kosovo's independence.
The implosion of the USSR was caused by RUSSIA.
The Helsinki Final Act contains Russian promises to:
- PEACEFULLY resolve disputes between signatory states
- NOT annex territory without agreement from the other country
- NOT threaten force
- NOT use force
- RECOGNIZE the sovereign right of each country to join ANY alliance.
Which Putin violated
Poland was the first post-1991 NATO member to border Russia.
It was the third NATO member to border Russia.
It has far better transport connections with the bulk of NATO than the Baltic States, and Ukraine was not seeking NATO membership in 2014.
You claim must be about Poland, which is laughable
Russia started this war in February of 2014, when Ukraine was non-aligned and not seeking to join NATO.
When historical fact proves your statements to be lies, the facts are not at fault.
Those spewing propaganda straight from the Kremlin sewer should not project that practice on others, ๐คก.
Each Minsk Agreement specified the deployment of OSCE observers to verify the intial ceasefires and withdraw of heavy weapons and "foreign" (i.e. Russian) troops.
The Russian Army and its minions blocked the OSCE observers from deploying on 80% of the border, violating each Minsk Agreement.
That security agreement is the Helsinki Final Act, which may be found here in 8 languages including Russian for your convenience:

Russia blatantly violated the vast majority of its promises in the HFA from 2008 on, hence its pariah status today.
Such as the Helsinki Final Act, which was principally authored by Soviet Russia in 1975, used as the centerpiece of the Paris Charter by Soviet Russia in 1990, and reaffirmed by the Russian Federation in 1995, 1997, and 2003.
2003 was by Putin, then he blatantly violated it in 2008 and 2014.
We understand that you are a two-bit hack for the Kremlin, but in case anyone else is reading your sewage and considering it remotely informative, it should be pointed out that it was Russia which violated multiple promises MADE IN WRITING when it invaded non-aligned Ukraine in February of 2014.
