Here are the key points from the video:
Ukraine and SpaceX have blocked unauthorized Russian access to Starlink, preventing Russia from using Starlink-powered drones for military operations
Starlink drones filled a critical tactical gap - they're harder to jam than radio/cellular drones but easier to deploy than fiber-optic drones, making them ideal for exploiting weaknesses in electronic warfare defenses
Russia loses ability to exploit breakthrough opportunities - without Starlink access, Russia can no longer effectively maintain and exploit gaps in Ukrainian front lines, even when they manage to create them
Asymmetric advantage for Ukraine - Ukraine retains authorized Starlink access for offensive operations behind Russian lines, while Russia loses this capability entirely
Ukrainian drones can now focus on higher-value targets - resources previously dedicated to hunting Russian Starlink arrays can be redirected toward more strategic targets
Long-range responsive strikes eliminated for Russia - Russia loses the ability to conduct real-time, operator-controlled drone strikes deep in Ukrainian territory, though pre-programmed strikes on static targets remain possible

as soon as one side gets a real advantage, pull that advantage away. when the other side gets a real advantage, pull THAT advantage away. keep everything going as long as possible.
heres where my thinking comes from:

in the epstein files:
"...population control through climate change..."
climate change might be a good way of dealing with overpopulation
mass death, fascism and theories about the supposed difference in womens and mens cognitive skills.

(126,228 posts)He came onto the scene when his cousin joined a military group in Ukraine and was killed. Prior to his involvement on social media Warburg was a minister. So granted, Warburg does not have the credentials of a professional journalist or military adviser, but he is a "thinker" by nature trying to make sense about the war. I believe that reaffirms that he can contribute to the conversation.
I don't know why he doesn't engage with others on his social media accounts, other than he probably has people write, "I don't trust this guy," on his YouTube page and Warburg realizes it is futile to defend himself against the trolls on his YouTube account. Of course, there are most likely other reasons also since the more content he produces, the more he makes from those views. So from a financial perspective it more lucrative to put one's energy into producing videos rather than answer questions.
As far as Warburg making inaccurate predictions are concerned, he is one of many on YouTube who fit that description. If accurate prognostications were a requirement on YouTube, then about 25% of overall content would need to be removed from the site. You can either agree or disagree with Warburg's analysis, but I don't ever recall Warburg asking his viewers to "trust" him.
