I’m not responsible for this even though all of you keep telling me I am. Every comment in here is “all Americans” and it’s fucking bullshit. I vote every time. I protest. I have never voted for any of the parties responsible for this. We want change just as bad as the rest of you

Trump and Musk are doing their best to help Putin kill Ukrainians.

US decisions to throttle Starlink only harms Ukrainian forces on the defense in Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have never been able to use Starlink for strikes in Russia. This decision will significantly degrade Ukraine's mid-range strike capability - a key driver of Ukraine's recent

Give France $30 billion and launch a few orbits full of LEO.We don't need to cover the globe like SpaceX, just Ukraine and from there North-Westward into Russia.Imagine Britain in the fucking Blitz where Roosevelt starts to buy oil from Nazi Germany and JP Morgan cuts off the Telegraph somehow.Crazy times.

I don't understand how it's "too far" in any way, provided that Russia has since the start of the war struck against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, including datacenters. The only way I can read this is as an example of heavily pro-Russian bias.

Ditch Starlink, Ukraine. Musk and chump are not your friends.

America really needs to address this senile old man before something really serious happens.

Fuqqing Felon Musk needs to go. American taxpayers paid for SpaceX and StarLink. If Elon Musk intends to abuse these assets as national security assets - unilaterally (and illegally) dictating U.S. foreign policy - then they are national security assets that should be confiscated and nationalized.
