    Russian forces and soldiers from the "Donetsk people's militia" are
    deploying mobile propaganda stations to suppress Ukrainian TV signals
    and "allow Ukrainian troops to discover what the real situation is in
    the conflict zone" (with subtitles)

    I think the County Palatine should put one on the top of the Pennines
    and try to educate those on the East side.

    Whose version of reality you choose to believe is as always, up to you I suppose.
    Propaganda has always been part of warfare, but its getting harder these
    days with the ways info can be harvested. How long before somebody blows up
    a satellite?

    It has already been done. The Chinese destroyed one as a proof of
    concept test.

    Not just communication: how many of the GPS constellation would have to
    be knocked out to make it less useful? (Or do the Russians use them
    themselves too much?)

    I recommend the SF book "Torus" - good yarn, whether its central premise
    is valid or not (I don't know - it seemed at least plausible, as with
    IMO all good SF). I can't remember who by - possibly Ben Bova, though I
    think James (not Ken) Follett.
