There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn.
The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:
[SOURCE]
It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.
For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military conflict with a nuclear-armed power.
Senator John Cornyn is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Cornyn has been a long-time tenured member of the Republican Senatorial Leadership Team. There are three options behind this X message:
Option #1 – Senator John Cornyn genuinely doesn’t know that Ukraine has never had access to “Starshield.” The implications within this possibility are alarming, especially when you consider his senate office staff wouldn’t stop him from making a public fool of himself.
Option #2 – Assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just publicly exposed a deep state, highly classified secret, outlining to Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin that the United States has indeed been operating the Ukraine targeting system against Russia all along. This has major implications.
Option #3 – Again, assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just exposed that elements within the United States government are controlling military operations and operating without the knowledge of President Donald Trump and Secretary of state Marco Rubio.
You choose.
One thing is very clear, someone from Vladimir Putin’s office is very likely calling someone in the White House chain of command to gain clarity. Maybe that ‘friction’ and/or ‘deconfliction’ problem is the reason Cornyn wants to kick sand?

I’m telling you it’s this narrative here: let me fill you in on what the leftist propaganda machine FOX news was promoting in the most atrocious anti Trump fashion. Some woman “expert” completely ignoring the discrepancy between Starlink & Starshield was droning on about how PJDT wanted Diesel to come down for the Elections so he slowed Starshield down which led to Ukraine taking massive damage – she said it was eerily similar to Trump’s first term where she linked the perfect phone call to a fake claim that PJDT slowed down arms shipments which caused harm to Ukraine and that’s what he got impeached for!
Do you see the repeat narrative FOX was setting up for the democrats. Thank God Zelenskyy didn’t have Starshield but had abused Starlink. And what about this so-called “expert” it’s pretty obvious what she was willing to do if it hadn’t blown up in her face. Another outrageously slanderous hoax perpetrated against The President of The United States!
We’re only going to get more of this until somebody pays! That’s the only way it’s going to stop!
Good Lord, we got to get someone behind bars!
They’re going to go with the Starshield narrative anyway even though Zelenskyy has Starlink (Starlink legally can’t be used for war). That’s how brazen these weirdos are.
Power has made these people totally psychotic cheaters, liars, and thieves; some jail time will fix that!
Hopefully the staff is sick of him too and they just let him out there to make an ass of himself.
The operational reality is that the US is de facto a participant in the conflict in a way that goes well beyond arms sales, and the administration is managing that reality through denials that the senators are now publicly contradicting.
In other words, the U.S. is in a de facto war with Russia. If the US is operating the system by providing real-time targeting data, satellite imagery, and intelligence fusion for strikes inside Russian territory, that’s not “Ukraine is shooting, we just sold them the gun.”
The traitorous senators are doing everything they can to prolong the war and set up a Trump impeachment.
Also this woman “expert” was at work a couple days ago, Saturday morning I think, one of FOX’s communist morning radio broadcasts. She’s out of the timeline with Starshield on Saturday morning. Starshield to Starlink and back to Starshield. She couldn’t have known all that.
The best thing I did in 2016 was to stop watching deceitful Fox News and I have had no regrets.
1999 for me.
Blumenthal?
Huh…
Bipartisan?
Huh…
The war hero?
Stolen Valor Spotted Dick
Nothing good can come from Thillis, Bloomy and Z. An unholy troika of incompetence, filth and corruption.
Star Wars cantina scene without the charisma.
Where was the Russian hypersonic missile strike when you needed it….
Will Blumenthal, Tills, Cornyn and their supporters pay the $500 billion to $1 trillion for the reconstruction of Ukraine?
These wicked men would not allow over a millon US soldiers to be sent to fight on the front lines and caught in a horrific meat grinder of deaths and injuries because there would be too much of a political backlash but they are happy to sacrifice men from Ukraine in their hatred of Russia. They are hypocrites.
They can and absolutely must start with their own sons…and daughters. They want to send other people’s children off to die they get to lead the way.
And then after their own children are ground into pink slime we still will say, “nah, no thanks, sucks to be them.” But at least the genetic line of War Pigs will stop with them.
I think we must start with sending the old windbags first. Send them, the useless eaters who pretend to make laws while making a fortune off of breaking it.
Don’t think for a second they’re not getting millions in kickbacks to support the launderi–, I mean the Ukraine fully justified war.
They’re far worse than hypocrites. They are the Nazgul, the ringwraiths from LotR. Harbingers of destruction.
lol The fetid pool of deep state traitors are always bipartisan on the matters most dear to them – whatever is antithetical to the interests of the U.S. and liable to keep the gravy train of grift rolling on.
They really cannot resist outing themselves, it’s in their DNA.
J
Send everyone of these MFing bicameral- bipartisan SOBs to fight on the front lines for Ukraine.
“Its not at this moment available…” this means it was available in the past.
Or a possibility in the future.
Under Bite Me?
No matter what, Cornyn, tillis, warner et Al will never be held accountable
Unless We The People make them accountable…
Option 3 would not surprise me a damned bit. Hornets nest puts that mildly.
We’re living in troubled times.
#4 – Perhaps Ukraine’s access to Starshield, if it exists, is indirect and delivered through a third party, aka a cut-out, perhaps a U.S. European ally?
I was talking about this in an earlier post today. I highly suspect the Deep State CIA operatives who hide in the dark. It’s my first gut instinct. Or he is doing this to try to stir the pot and change the outcome of the election. So many traitors need to be hanged a long time ago. Satan is working overtime, obviously.
“Satan is working overtime, obviously.”
It’s just extra awful when people on our side are the ones helping with our demise..
It absolutely is sickening.
The “Judas Principle” comes in many forms.
What a tangled web…
“Experts” on X have suggested we supply Starshield access to allies Germany and Poland and that they had been passing along intel to Ukraine. No idea if there’s any truth to that.
#5, the Democrats will argue, is that Trump and Rubio are just lying.
That’s a possibility if one is listing ALL options. I personally don’t believe they are but I’m biased toward my President and his Cabinet.
Cornyn is unhinged. He’s posted all kinds of stupid remarks since losing the run-off. He hates Paxton and he’s showing his true RINO colors. The bitter old loser is in scorched earth mode. But this is a whole different level. Maybe he thinks if he tarnishes Trump it’ll hurt Paxton against Talafreako.
Reuter’s reported that there’s “proof” Russia has been shadowing other satellites. (Sundance referred to Russia’s recent satellite upgrades yesterday I believe.) Instead of the normal 200 mile buffer they’ve gotten as close as 3 miles “next to” other satellites and that allows for better jamming, spying, destruction (lasers), etc. That could be a plausible reason that Starlink transmissions were throttled or blocked, especially if allies like Germany/Poland were passing information. Either a SpaceX or a third party satellite could have been affected.
That would prove Trump wasn’t lying, that Zelenskyy is full of 💩, and that our allies might be our enemies.
I just hope this blows up in Cornhole’s face. Maybe he’ll get a visit from CIA operatives who need to shut him up.
Someday someone will write the full story of the bipartisan Ukraine corruption saga.
Just imagine the dirt the Little Nazi has on these politicians.
I wonder what else sore loser Cornyn will do to further destroy our country! He’s been horrible for decades and could have caused unbelievable damage to our country all along. 💁🏻♀️
Never deserved to represent TX. He always seemed like a hanger hanger-on to me.-with a stick ip his *ss.
A Bushie through and through.
When was the last time TX produced a decent politician.
Corny says it is needed to protect American personnel. Of whom is he speaking?
For my part I assumed Option 3 was in force from beginning.
Nothing is as it seems. We are re-directed, distracted, false-flagged, and drowning in propaganda to the point that I no longer believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, or that the Stripper on the Main Stage really likes me.
I’m pretty sure that Candy, “now appearing on Stage 3, give it up for Can-dy” really likes you. Much more believable than the rest.
Much like President Autopen, never overestimate John Cornyn’s IQ. And his staff is busy looking for another job so they aren’t going to be paying any attention to what that old man says. I think we would all be amazed at the relative ignorance of our congresspeople, (He/She/It). Especially the Senators.
I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it is option 1, but going from past experience I’ll take option 3.
My take. I call bullshxt on Cornyn and the other deep state Senators. It appears that there is a global operation underway to destroy the midterms. Cornyn just officially showed his hand.
However, I also believe that the IC and deep staters in the Military may have circumvented the Commander in Chiefs orders (per the usual). In which case, heads should roll IMMEDIATELY.
Be interesting to hear from Pete Hegseth.
Is Cornyn talking about protecting our troops or Ukraine? He seemed to slide from one the other in the space of a sentence.
My take on the three options, for what it is worth:
Option #1 – Senator Cornyn may be stupid enough to not know Ukraine never had access. “Starshield” is probably just one of many confusing terms that he heard about in hearings but it was not important enough to him at the time to register anything about it. Also, the best of his senate staff is probably in Texas working for Talarico and not involved any longer in trying to keep him straight on issues, and the rest of them are probably busy trying to nail down their next jobs. He might very well be without meaningful staff assistance at this point.
Option #2 – That may very well be true. Of course, see above about his stupidity and status of his staff.
Option #3 – That may also be true. And he is also mendacious enough (as well as stupid enough) to think he is hurting Trump and Rubio, but actually confirming for them that certain elements in the govt are working against them. Trump and team may now be working to identify those people.
Therefore, all three options could be true at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. Whatever Cornyn’s intentions, clearly he is eaten up with hatred for Trump. He probably doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about Ukraine or any of the rest of it. It is all just a stick to beat Trump with. It is really, really good that he is leaving office in a few months. Wish he was already gone.
Went digging for what has been listed as sent to Ukraine. Was looking for any tell tale equipment and did see sat phones but what type?
The US Embassy Ukraine has an office of defense cooperation (ODC) operating out of the embassy with US military personnel. The number of personnel is a question and there are as you would assume when operating out of an embassy clandestine and covert deployments of DOD and other personnel.
Here is a Dept of War list of equipment provided to Ukraine up to 9 Jan 2025 (If Patton has had all this equipment he would have been inside Berlin in 2 weeks out of Normandy. )
https://media.defense.gov/2025/Jan/09/2003626080/-1/-1/1/UKRAINE-FACT-SHEET-JAN-9-2025.PDF
If there are DOD personnel from the Dept of War in Ukraine providing Star Shield and other capabilities that Sec of War Hegseth, Sec of State Rubio and President Trump do not know of and have not been briefed on then heads need to roll.
If the IC toads operating out of that embassy are providing capabilities that Sec of War, State and Dir. of CIA do not know of then Radcliff needs to roll heads or needs to be fired.
President Trump better stomp on this right now and that Senator needs his azz handed to him in court on a platter no matter what his reason for publicly posting that message
I’ll decide after hearing what Tom Cotton has to say…….. /s
Come on, he doesn’t have any time to hold a press hearing, not while vigorously engaged in this week’s round of circle jerks w/Thune, Barasso, Lankford, Cornyn and making a special appearance the master jerker himself, McConnell, fresh new catheter inserted for the occasion. Is Cotton’s pleasure to be the pivot man this week, so he has nothing else planned until after the midterms.
0ption #4 Cornyn’s a Retard
So so many senators ARE retards. There must be an IQ ceiling limiter to be allowed to run for senator.
Option 3 would not surprise me.
I don’t understand why the US is helping either Ukraine or Russia with ANYTHING other than to get them to the peace table and get the war over.
Why would we align with either country? Zelensky is an idiot and Putin just wants NATO off his border.
SOOOO many backstabbers……
SOOOOO little time…….
NO MERCY!
Mark Kelly and Dan Crenshaw will parachute in and fix it….
Boy this is going to be good. The US is targeting Russian assets no matter how you look at it. I think Russia can now do a all out war on us and Europe. So the US is targeting Russian oil infrastructure and Trump knows it?
How stupid are these people? Looks like Johnny boy just got some deep staters in trouble and Z just lost his Starshield access. FAFO.
4. It’s Starlink and Cornyn said shield purposefully so as to disrupt the Putin/Xi/Trump conversation (why talk to Trump if he’s not actually in charge) while being able to retreat to cover (oops) after the damage is done.
Option 4. He’s deliberately confusing the issue so as to set up the President for another bogus impeachment, if the Democrat Party win the House, and directly targeting the Secretary for the DoW for an ‘investigation’. The impeachment will be a rerun of the 2018 attempt, with Ukraine as the trigger and allegations the President deliberately helped Putin.
Option 5. As discussed in quite a few pro-Russian forums, elements in the Pentagon have allowed Ukrainian forces access to some elements of Starshield, by giving them a backdoor hack. If it’s discovered they can simply claim that clever the Ukrainian super-hackers found it themselves. Same M.O. as the, ‘Ukrainian pilots are using laptops to allow their Soviet era planes to use Western PGM’s’.
I doubt it’s 2 or 3 because it utterly destroys the DS narrative, exposes all those involved to charges of treason and would massively strengthen the President to use his own, ‘Iron broom’ on all the other Biden era globalist stay behinds.
You might see a clarification soon, claiming he meant Starlink, but that itself will be to deliberately muddy the distinction between the two systems, in the public’s mind.
I’m going with the 3rd
Because we have people in agencies the Clowns In Action in particular that have created their own assets and can over ride anything while removing their fingerprints and they operate many things including satellites and dew weapons.
●Musk does not want to be blamed and is probably being honest in his statements of terms and control.
●Rubio stating that “It’s not at this moment available to Ukraine” leaves some questions.
●THE BUSINESS TIMES
SpaceX gets US contract to expand Ukraine’s access to Starshield
Encrypted Starshield signal is difficult to hack into or jam
Published Sat, Dec 7, 2024 • 08:55 AM
This following terms of service for defensive purposes only within Ukraine.
●SpaceX gets US contract to expand Ukraine’s access to Starshield
SPACEX received a Pentagon contract to expand Ukraine’s access to a more secure, militarized version of its Starlink satellite network, deepening the company’s involvement in the conflict despite founder Elon Musk’s ambivalence over the war.
The contract means that 2,500 Starlink terminals already in Ukraine will get access to Starshield, a classified and encrypted signal over Starlink that’s more difficult to hack into or jam. That number is in addition to the 500 that were previously connected to Starshield.
“A total of 3,000 terminals are provided service via the two contracts,” according to a statement to Bloomberg News from the Space Systems Command’s Commercial Satellite Office. The contracts share a common purpose “to facilitate Internet connectivity in Ukraine“, it said. “Both provide service into 2025.”
●Musk has his own complicated history with Ukraine. In 2022, he threatened to cut financial support for Starlink there, saying his company could not carry the costs indefinitely. He also said the terminals were not intended for military use and said in a tweet “we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3”.
➜➜Would it be too much to believe that those working against Trump within the US military who control Starshield enabled it to benefit deep strikes within Russia (and Cornyn knows)?
+Contracts were reported as running into 2025, with later references to ongoing arrangements into 2027.
+Available evidence indicates Starshield was approved for and actively used by Ukrainian forces within Ukraine’s borders for defense purposes prior to and during the October 2026 slowdown.
So Biden got a deal for Starshield right before he left office?
Or to further clarify, not Joe but the puppet masters
What do Shaheen, Tillis and Cornyn have in common?
All three are outgoing.
How about Ukraine does not have access but the UK does?
I’m sure the President will respond but hope he first coordinates the response with Rubio, Vance and DoW. The four of these guys need to be on the same sheet of music. Looking forward to color commentary from Rubio.
Where was Rubio prior to?
He knows Starshield was a contract for Ukraine but nder Biden.
See –Pegon Zellschmidt
–post just above.
Marco Rubio admitted publicly some time ago that the US is in a proxy war against Russia over Ukraine.
Why are any of you here surprised that we are probably giving direct support to Zelensky and his military?
Option #4
The Senator and the other neocons don’t want the war to end so he purposely dumped this little tidbit, whether it’s true or not, to drive a wedge of distrust between Putin and POTUS during negotiations.
It seems very planned out. First Z complains and then our elected officials and press run with the narrative started by Z.
A second bite at this apple. The CIA knows, even if its not through their people but 5 eyes people, whether or not Ukraine has full StarShield and other capabilities.
#2. This is an obvious setup for a political hit on the administration. If the secretaries did know then they lied, if they didn’t know then they’re incompetent.
It’s option #1. With a caveat. They ALL know it’s not Starshield. Ukraine used Starlink against the terms of use. Probably told by Europe to do so. BUT most people don’t know there’s a difference and therefore the narrative must be constructed ahead of the midterms for an impeachment effort of President Trump or Pete Hegseth. These people are insufferable. I hate them so much.
Option 4 – we have troops in Ukraine – uniformed or not – that are using StarShield. Hence Cornyn using the phrase “… this critical capability to protect American personnel”
Terms and conditions mean nothing to the deep state.
The USA has been doing all the surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance for Ukraine.
The CIA has not been sitting this war out.
The USA is a direct participant in the war; maybe that is why Russia is operating so timidly.
Google said the following.
Who benefits from that activity?
The U.S. and NATO military surveillance flights do not enter Ukrainian airspace; instead, they operate continuously along NATO’s eastern flank and over international waters in the Black Sea. These airborne intelligence-gathering missions use airspace in bordering countries like Romania and Poland to monitor Russian troop movements, radar positions, and missile launches inside Ukraine.
Typical Flight Routes & Assets
Public flight tracking data sourced reveals a highly coordinated rotation of strategic reconnaissance aircraft patrolling the periphery of the conflict: [1]
The Black Sea & Romania Corridor: U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft and ARTEMIS II reconnaissance jets frequently orbit over international waters in the Black Sea and within Romanian airspace. Operating roughly 150 miles west of Russian naval strongholds like Sevastopol, these assets keep strict tabs on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. [1, 2]The Eastern Flank (Poland & the Baltics): High-altitude unmanned drones, specifically the USAF RQ-4B Global Hawk, routinely conduct marathon 18-hour missions. These flights typically launch from Sigonella Air Base in Sicily and transit through Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Poland to provide persistent day-and-night intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) along the border. [1]Electronic & Signal Intelligence (SIGINT): Heavy electronic intelligence aircraft like the USAF RC-135U Combat Sent and the British RAF RC-135W Rivet Joint frequently launch from bases in England. They fly routes bypassing Russia’s Kaliningrad enclave to monitor electromagnetic and radar signatures across the Baltic states, Poland, and Ukraine’s northern periphery.AWACS Patrols: NATO E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) planes fly long-duration sorties from Western Europe (such as central France) into Romanian airspace. Flying at 34,000 feet, their powerful rotating radar domes track airborne threats, bombing runs, and missile launches, feeding that tactical picture directly to ground commanders in real-time.
How about option #4? he’s still the same retarded Dik Weed he ever was.
The Great Corn-Holio.
Just to let ya know: NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s Putin Derangement Syndrome goes deep and far back, if you do a search of her name and Russia, anything about Russia- you’ll see a long history of her being nutty about both Putin and Russia- I recall listening to her rant and sounding like a damn fool when she tried to get RT news banned here so we couldn’t see that website.
I don’t know whose payroll Jeanne Shaheen is on to launch such long sustained and endless efforts against Russia, but she’s certainly made an ass of herself on this one for someone..
She’s now trying to install her daughter into her seat following her retirement- her daughter knows nothing of course and was embarrassing in the debates and yet won in their primary entirely because of her name and the money backing her. Luckily the Republican that won is excellent, this is a race to watch. It’s going to come down to money as usual and her daughter looks downright silly going up this smart Republican candidate.
Hopefully we can get him over the finish line..
I’m going with Door No. 1.
I choose option #4
Senator John Cornyn is lying on his way out the door to in an attempt to throw sand into any deal President Trump is trying to make. He’s just as vindictive as Tillis.
Option #4 — Senator John Cornyn will do everything he can to make President Trump’s life total hell before he leaves office. His pay masters don’t care if he lies and makes a fool of himself, as long as he can inflict the utmost pain.
I would like to think that Cornyn is not really in tune with reality, much like his buddy, Mitch McConnell. But these people are devious at heart, and would destroy this country for his (and the 6 traitors) own benefit. I would believe Trump and Musk, as well as Mario’s version of the facts, but there may be elements in the background betraying this country. For me, I’m sticking with Trump, Musk and Mario.
God, I pray you will please intervene with your divine intervention to thwart Satan and his evil ilk. Amen. Godspeed.
Or by claiming use of Starsheild will prevent shutting down Starlink for violation of terms of use…..
Nothing worse than a woman scorned.
He is such a little b****
See ya Coryn
I take option 3 and add Pete H to that list.
