Let me guess "unnamed officials report...."
Ah yes...
“according to four sources familiar with the discussions.”
“One of the sources said Mr Trump ‘agreed’ with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield…”
“A high-ranking European official and two well-placed Ukrainian sources confirmed this version of events.”
But I thought Kash Patel was landing in ROOOOOOOSHA the other day....?

Anonymous sourcing is standard and I don't see why that's contentious. Do you want them to name their sources and invite retaliation? As for the MS NOW correction, it has nothing to do with the Telegraph. They're unrelated outlets, and one's error says nothing about the other's reporting.Let me guess "unnamed officials report...."

If you're concerned about the Telegraph's reporting or its sources, Reuters separately reported that the Starshield order came from within the White House according to US officials.
Trump waives several Russia sanctions as row with Zelensky intensifies
The US president temporarily ends many restrictions on Moscow recently passed by Congress over "national security" concerns.

We're living in the upside down. I'm sure the mental gymnastics will be Olympic level.
Was listening to the noted historian Victor Davis Hanson and he mentioned that Ukraine’s population was 51.7 million at the breakup of the the Soviet Union in 1991/92, was 41 million at the beginning of their war with Russia in 2022 and now some estimates have it as low as 28 million (in the areas it still controls) due to war, a 0.9 birthrate and emigration to other countries. That percentage drop is comparable to the black death in Europe in the 1300’s.

I guess the fundamental question is, is Russia an enemy or not?
Sure seems like they are to me, but you’d never know it from the way this administration is treating them.
There is a nuance to this.
Russia is Ukraine's enemy. Russia has been and still is an adversary of the United States, but I don't see them as an enemy.
Just because something isn't great for Ukraine, or it might be sort of favorable for Russia, doesn't mean the United States shouldn't do it if it's good for us.
And most reasonable people don't see a military solution for either country.
I mean if you want to go and fight Russia, have at it. Or get your kids to go and fight. It's a free country.

Russia is an adversary in decline, one that now has minimal impact on the US and can be handled by a European Union that has 4 times the population and 20 times the GDP - but a European Union that would rather spend limited money on their own citizens and rely on the US to pay for everything. We have $40 Trillion in debt and a retirement crisis looming - we must prioritize.
China is the pacing concern. A nation with 4 times our population, a GDP equal to our own, a near monopoly on rare earths and massive manufacturing to include 200x our shipbuilding capacity.
The rabid focus on Russia and the unconcern with China is a major misplace of priorities. Russia and China have their own history of conflict that should be triangulated, not welded together.
So why are we fighting Iran again?
If the European Union should be handling Russia, why shouldn’t Israel be handling Iran? So we can focus on the pacing concern?
We are at war with Iran. Russia backs Iran. We are helping Russia. That will help Iran. Make sense of that for me.
You familiar with the Budapest memorandum? Which codified Ukraine giving up almost 2000 nuclear weapons in return for security guarantees? We signed it.
