WOW—Starlink satellite 🛰 internet activated for Ukraine!!! This circumvents Putin’s attempts to cut off 🇺🇦’s internet from the world. Democracy dies in darkness—unless you circumvent Putin. Thank you @elonmusk 🙏
2) Musk was responding to the request of @FedorovMykhailo - Ukraine’s vice prime minister for satellite internet support from Musk’s starlink network. What a time to be alive on @Twitter.
3) Putin definitely will not like this. What a crazy time to be alive. Seriously, stop and think about it. No oligarch or king or emperor in history could be usurped like this. Unblocked Starlink for Russia 🇷🇺 wide next!
THE @CDCDirector NEEDS TO GO—@CDCgov says anyone with this short list of 24+ risk factors can basically go screw yourselves—“If you have one of these conditions, talk with your healthcare provider about how best to protect yourself from severe #COVID19."🔥 cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
2) “a person with any of the conditions listed below is more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. This means that a person with 1+ of these conditions who gets very sick from COVID-19 is more likely to:
📌Be hospitalized
📌Need intensive care
📌Require a ventilator
📌Die
3) Yes, basically— you have a more likely chance to “DIE” if you have 1 of 24 risk factors…. Which, checks notes 📝, is probably 3 out of 4 👀 Americans by this epidemiologist’s back-of-napkin best estimate from 18 years of doing chronic disease epidemiology.
HUMANITY—Ukraine will open a ☎️hotline for mothers, fathers, wives of Russian🇷🇺 soldiers who came to Ukraine but were captured or killed. The line for POW & the fallen will be called "Come back alive from Ukraine!" - Adviser to 🇺🇦Internal Ministry reports. facebook.com/anton.gerashch…
2) “On this "hotline" you (relative of Russian soldier) can manage whether your relatives are still alive, whether they are captive, are there injured or decide when and how you can take the body of your deceased relative.”
🇺🇦 Ukraine advisor to Interior Ministry
3) “If your loved one is captive with us, you can leave for your husband, his son a short cut.
A little later there will be an official statement of the 🇺🇦 Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on this issue.”
WATCHING—elevated radiation ☢️ levels observed at #Chernobyl reactor site—not super high yet but 65 μSv (65k nSv) is elevated above normal. There was reported shelling around Chernobyl between Russian & Ukrainian forces. Praying this doesn’t get worse.🙏 saveecobot.com/en/radiation-m…
2) the other adjacent detection sites with 58 micro-SV also show the spike today is new. Not a normal average reading. And this just happened because it just turned to Feb 25th local time. There was no spike on the 24.
3) there are credible reports there is a hostage situation going on at Chernobyl. From @guardian.
CYBER RISK—-Senate Intel Chairman Mark Warner said in an interview that Putin's actions during the next few days risk triggering NATO's Article 5 collective defense principle & draw in NATO into the conflict indirectly or directly but inadvertently.🧵 axios.com/mark-warner-pu…
2) In a 2021 communique, NATO affirmed the alliance would weigh whether to trigger its Article 5 mutual defense pact over a cyberattack "on a case-by-case basis."—
Details: Warner foresees two ways a digital war could draw in NATO countries, including the US
3) 📌Putin deploys cyber weapons inside Ukraine that take on a life of their own and spread to NATO states. This has happened before — notably in 2017, when 🇷🇺’s NotPetya malware was unleashed in Ukraine and ended up causing billions of dollars in damage to companies worldwide.
