‼️Starshield disruptions mean that someone in the U.S. is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians.
Received briefings from Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhenii Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant disruptions to Starshield’s operations over the territory of Ukraine for several days now – along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, systematic speed restrictions are being imposed on Starshield, limiting it to 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour). The Ukrainian military have already investigated the circumstances, and these are not random errors but systematic speed restrictions. For us, this primarily means a significant complication in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Unfortunately, there have already been strikes that got through because our interception systems cannot reach sufficient speeds and are unable to intercept in time. Unfortunately, this is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more accurate strikes against Ukraine. We are trying to establish all the circumstances with the American side.
$ASTS That audio issue towards the end makes the fireside chat almost unwatchable. It was there all stream but very bad towards the end. Do an AI clean up of the audio and post a edited version plesmase @AST_SpaceMobile. If you want any potential investors to watch this.

Bullshit! I can criticize "israel" exclusively if i damn well want to. This bastard wants to end the 1st Amendment for jewish feelings. Fuck right off!
US Anti-Semitism Czar Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun is using American power to pressure the entire world to adopt Jewish speech codes to limit criticism of Israel.
"One of the IHRA [definition of anti-Semitism's] points is that you cannot just condemn Israel! You can't pick Israel and single out Israel if you're going to criticize Israel!" Kaploun, who was born in Israel, says.
"What you are allowed to do is if you're criticizing Israel, you also have to criticize the other things that are going on."
"If you want to say Israel's killing Palestinians, we also have to discuss that the Iranians are killing their citizens, or the Chinese are killing Uyghurs!"

Hillary Clinton on the Jensen Huang spy scandal:
I will predict to you what will happen when Trump sees Xi Jinping in a few weeks.
He will say to Xi Jinping, like he said to Putin, "Is this true?" And Xi Jinping will say, "Of course it's not, Donald. You know that we wouldn't do that to you."
And then Trump will come out and say, "I asked President Xi if it were true, and he assured me it wasn't."
$ASTS Have only watched untill the Blacklift video and a bit further so far. But I am so impressed with Abels precense on stage. I must admit I was a bit worried about this, we all know english isn't his first language and there is a reason Scott does most of the talking on calls. But he managed to get comfortable on stage, made some good jokes, had some intentional "freudian slips" and really seemed like he was enjoying sharing his vision. Great job Abel. You rock that leather jacket 💪🚀🧑🚀 The midland tour was great, showing what it takes and admitting that space is hard but they finally feel like they have the process down. My confidence level has increased. Best week in ASTS ever even with the horrible market conditions and the share price doing its thing.

🚨 CNN just accidentally said the quiet part loud on live television:
“We’re not showing you that because the Israeli government doesn’t allow us — or want us — to show where that may have come from.”
A major American news network just admitted on air that a foreign government is controlling what you see.
Not suggesting it. Not implying it. Confessing it.
Speaker Johnson calls Islam a misguided religion from the House floor. The CIA arms Kurdish militias for regime change.
And now CNN confirms Israel is managing the visual narrative of a war American taxpayers are funding with their lives and $220 million a day.
You are not seeing the full picture. By design.

Just so everybody gets a clear image about this.
If the board removes him as CEO, several clear boundaries apply:
• Every share Jensen Huang already owns outright is his legal property. He retains full voting rights for those shares and can hold them, borrow against them, or dump them on the open market whenever he chooses (subject only to standard SEC insider trading blackout windows if he remains on the board, or Rule 144 volume limits if he steps down completely).
• The only shares a board can claw back or cancel upon termination are unvested performance stock units (PSUs) or restricted stock units (RSUs) that have not yet met their time or performance milestones. Given that Jensen co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and holds roughly 3.5% of the company outright, the vast majority of his multi-billion-dollar stake is long since vested.
• Because he is Nvidia's largest individual shareholder, firing him against his will creates an immediate existential headache for the board. As an outside shareholder, he could launch a proxy fight to replace the board directors at the next annual meeting, start a rival silicon venture and poach Nvidia's top CUDA and architecture leads, or threaten to liquidate tens of billions of dollars in stock, cratering the share price for institutional investors.
In short, firing a founder who owns over $100 billion in vested stock does not strip him of power; it just turns him into an activist shareholder with infinite capital and zero fiduciary obligations to protect the board.

"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." thenation.com/article/politi…

$ASTS Some thoughts on those doubting management and criticizing delays.
It’s lost on me how some of you missed that after the Blue Origin mishap and SpaceX delays, AST showed up swinging a big DPAS certification, essentially banning dweebs from doing curls at the squat rack during peak hours.
It became apparent to me a while ago that AST’s technology is unprecedented and has capabilities that are not only valuable to the US, but also to Allied nations.
This is why I believe the next big-ticket item will be NATO. Much like Northrop Grumman has a direct contract with NATO AGS for the RQ-4D, I expect to see something similar from AST SpaceMobile…this route bypasses foreign military sales so it fits.
The program is coincidentally named HALO, not to be confused with AST’s existing HALO contract.
So far, I’m really liking what I see. This is exactly the type of aggression and creativity with regulations and politicking that you want from a company pursuing global business.
