Russia Says Western Satellites Could Be Considered Legitimate Targets
Russia Says Western, Satellites Could Be Considered, Legitimate Targets .
On October 16, a Russian Foreign Ministry official
warned that Russia could shoot down Western
commercial satellites used to aid Ukraine's war efforts.
According to 'Newsweek', Russian state news agency Tass
originally reported that these Western satellites could
be considered legitimate targets for retaliatory strikes.
.
Vladimir Ermakov, head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, reportedly didn't
detail which companies' satellites would be targeted.
.
'Newsweek' reports that Elon Musk's
SpaceX provided Starlink satellites to
provide Ukraine with internet service.
'The Wall Street Journal' reported that other American satellite
operators including Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs PBC
are contracted by U.S. national-security agencies.
We have consistently drawn
the attention of the international
community to this dangerous trend,
which goes beyond the harmless use
of space technology, clearly
manifested during the events in Ukraine, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, via 'Newsweek'.
Obviously, the United States and its
allies are not fully aware that such
activities actually constitute indirect
participation in armed conflicts, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the statement by Ermakov
echoes similar threats made by deputy director of
the Russian Foreign Ministry's Non-Proliferation
and Arms Control Department, Konstantin Vorontsov.
In October of 2022, Vorontsov said that "commercial,
infrastructure elements in outer space for military purposes"
by the West constitutes an "extremely dangerous trend.".
These States do not realize
that such actions in fact constitute
indirect participation in military conflicts.
Quasi-civilian infrastructure may become
a legitimate target for retaliation, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, via 'Newsweek'
Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.

Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care. However, conflicting reports are emerging about the incident. While Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear, law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets. This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation.

The SEC relies on administrative
law judges (ALJ) to make legal conclusions
in cases brought before the agency.
The Supreme Court's decision has the potential
to send ripples through dozens of agencies,
from labor rights to energy regulation.
The Court did exclude from its decision those
agencies dealing with federal benefits, while some
conservative justices wanted the ruling to go further.
The three liberal justices
in dissent blasted the
decision by the majority. .
The case was brought by a former conservative
radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy,
following an SEC fraud investigation.

An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000,
ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten
profits and barred him from the securities industry.
Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial
held in a federal court and that Congress lacked
the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
NPR reports that Jarkesy's case was supported
by a number of conservative and business groups, and individuals such as Elon Musk.
