D R, I don't have exact information on that and there is no legal way to obtain it.

D R, Starlink is switched off over Russia. But you never know if there are secret keys that enable the service anyhow. Otoh, it is pretty safe to assume that these drones have been using the military version of GPS.

Brian Foltz, Yes, indeed I usually share Mr. Orlov's YT videos. Most Americans have never been exposed to most of his thoughts. Reviewing the material over and over and over again *might* finally break through to a limited number of Americans. Might. (Not counting on it though.)
Most Americans are, and will probably remain, clueless. 

Somindra Ghosh, I know around ten alternative channels from the Duran to Scott Ritter where the same informations are processed and always too long. We "know it all insiders" can just ignore them or pick some bits of insight. I have come to the conclusion that these programs are necessary in order to enlarge the audience.

Be happy about the lifetime gained by not watching.

I look forward to Mr. Orlovs next written piece. He is a wonderful essayist. 

james lapointe, if something is only "likely" it cannot be an "observation," now, can it? File under "known unknowns".

Maria, thats just snobby. Nima's show is a great place to provide Mr.Orlov with some exposure and a good resource for the layperson. Mr.Orlov is a rare intellectual resource, like a rare earth mineral but even rarer. We need his intellect/wisdom to be shared far and wide. Fact is that Mr.Orlov is just on another level intellectually. I'm sure he gets bored and frustrated interacting with us regular folk but I am always grateful for his important insights.

David Tepper, US nuclear weapons are all decades old and mostly made with plutonium. The reactors that made the plutonium no longer operate. The used to have a membrane-based uranium enrichment plant, but that method is noncompetitive because of high energy demands and was shut down. US centrifuge-based enrichment projects failed to deliver. There are currently some French plants (Areva) operating in the US but the US has zero uranium enrichment capability of its own due to missing technology.

Chris Oswald, I am not German, but I spent 6 semesters mastering their verdammten language "an der Uni" and had lots of exposure to Germany, Germans and things German thereafter. That was 35 years ago. And I'd like to add that what you are describing has been the trend ever since then.

Dmitry Orlov, Hello guys, I can confirm your views. I have recently spent 3 years in Germany, from 2020. I was all the time intrigued, amazed and appalled on how people were generally very acritical about most of the things going on around them and ready to accept official/MSN narratives on everything. The level of such “narratives” was abysmal. I also passed years in some other European countries, like Switzerland, France, and Italy. The same trend goes on around there too. The main difference I noticed in Germany was how strongly people were unwilling to hear anything different from the official/MSN narratives. Any different opinion was quickly tagged as "nazi". And I am talking about common people. Every foreigner was commenting about it… It was, indeed, a quite depressing time over there. I dropped my contract in the middle and left the country. Some context: I am actually a particle physicist, but have been interested in history and geopolitics since very young age.
