Isn't there a European system that could replace Starlink, and isn't there intelligence available from sources other than Trump's camp? It is time to take a hard line with the US regarding these demands. Let's defend Ukraine.

It is not. It’s a mad NAZI upset his followers, as well as the entire right wing movement, is being driven by Russian bots exposed by Ukraine.

Elon Musk's tweet doesn't clarify much. Some facts: 1. It was Ukraine and Zelensky who told us Starlink - not just Starshield - had been disabled 2. Ukrainian troops use both, and Musk knows this well 3. Anyone can buy a Starlink terminal from Currys and use it for anything [embedded post]
