It's probably one of 3 things: 1.) Russia getting stupidly close to irrational nuke use. 2.) Russia is getting awesome at AI and will disrupt the election even further this time 3.) Russia has successfully infiltrated most of our infrastructure

Looks like it has something to do with Russia's destabilizing military capability. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/14/politics/house-intel-chairman-serious-national-security-threat/index.html quote:Earlier Wednesday, Turner sent his Congressional colleagues a letter saying the urgent matter is “with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability.”

I hope not because someone would seize on this and say "see, we don't need to send Ukraine any foreign aid, since Russia will just collapse anyway" And then you have to deal with who takes control of the bombs. My WAG is evidence of infiltration into infrastructure since it's stupid easy to do. But it's not a one way road... you can bet we've already done the same and have our finger on the button just waiting for an excuse to shut down a power grid or cause industrial equipment to destroy itself.

Whatever it is, it needs to be taken seriously. Turner is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee; he must be highly intelligent to be chosen for that job. So it's new pictures of Hunter's dick?

I may be the one misreading here, but I read "destabilizing military capabilities" as "military capabilities that cause destabilization", not that Russia is about to get super destabilized. Though it's hard to say for sure until they say something concrete about it.

I find it weird, though, that this was made broadly public. I'm not seeing how intel on foreign affairs needs to be broadcast to the general populace.

We already know about the giant nuke torpedo, and the nuke-propelled cruise missile. So the only thing that occurs to me that would be novel enough to warrant this much noise would be a nuclear satellite aka literally Goldeneye.

Discendo Vox posted:May be tied to the Russian diversion of starlink systems. Unlikely, that has enough public information that they could openly discuss it without compromising sources and methods. It must represent something we have no credible parallel construction for. For example you could gag order starlink and backdate a subpoena for the metadata on usage near the front to talk about the sanctions busting (and the downright criminality of not whitelisting with the geo fencing, fash simping today that musk is).

The House Intel Committee and Gang of 8 was supposed to get a secret briefing on this tomorrow before they let the rest of congress know, but the House Intelligence committee apparently announced it early. https://twitter.com/heatherscope/status/1757819685762912652 All that is public so far is: - Not an immediate threat or cause for concern. - It is confirmation/proof of the existence of something that could be massively destabilizing to the U.S. and many other countries. It is not specific to one single country. - It is a "foreign threat" that some news outlets are reporting is related to Russia. - Some people are reporting it has to do with cyberwarfare/satellites, but that isn't confirmed. - They promise it is not aliens. Democratic members of the committee stressing that it is a serious issue, but not an immediate concern. quote:“People should not panic — that is unequivocal. People should not panic,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee.

Ukraine did recently claim that Russian forces had access to Starlink. That doesn't necessarily mean SpaceX knowingly sold it to them for that purpose. Starlink terminals are just specialized telecom devices and could easily be stolen or bought under false pretenses. SpaceX is probably smart enough not to intentionally violate sanctions even if Musk personally may not be
