  All coming into focus now as Musk cuts off Ukraine's Starlink amid drone operations to help Putin, his current attacks on the Indian government aimed at forcing them to adopt Starlink. Nations that become reliant on Starlink can be rendered defenseless once Musk decides to sell

  NEW: Ukrainian troops were caught off guard by restrictions on Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials tell me.

  The timing is interesting, given that it comes days after Musk said Ukraine had gone "too far" striking Yandex data centers. Putting other considerations aside, these strikes could be interpreted as direct retaliation against strikes on Ukrainian data centers days before.That said, depending on a single piece of tech is not a good idea (as…

  ok so the issue is Starshield terminals. The starlink ones are locked to territory both inside Ukraine and that Ukraine controls. The were already subject to the 100mph limit. The Starshield terminals are now being limited to same movement limits but work outside Ukraine and are allowed to be used for weapons and military purposes. Basically…

  Major new development with Trump/Musk apparently restricting use of Starlink above Ukraine.

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

  If true, sabotage by the US. "Ukraine's Starlink access has been restricted without warning, severely disrupting "several" military missions, presidential adviser Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov , "I confirm that SpaceX implemented speed restrictions on Starlink terminals while in motion last night. Currently, the restriction applies to the StarShield…

  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’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

  ❗️Last ​​night, the operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted. Connectivity began to drop when moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. As a result, a number of critical missions were disrupted. SpaceX likely took these measures at the request of the Trump

  Unelected Musk interfering in foreign affairs. Again. Tax this fucker into oblivion.

  SpaceX has implemented a 100 mph speed limit on Starlink terminals in motion, affecting the StarShield military package in Ukraine. Advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov states this unannounced change has disrupted several military missions. https:// t.me/serhii_flash/7807 # Ukraine # Russia # US # Musk # Starlink

  It’s so obvious that Putin has something on Trump. It’s either the unsubstantiated pee tape, or they have the video tapes Epstein said he had. And since Musk also (at least) wanted to party on one of the islands wildest nights, there might be even more leverage Putin is using strategically.

  So... one day Ukraine destroys a data centre in Russia with drones, bot activity on social media plummets, Elon getting much less likes than usual and in the next days he limits Starlinks capabilities and renders it basically useless for drones?! Did I miss something?

  The alleged restrictions come amid President Trump’s declaration of an “energy ceasefire” in the war, even though Ukraine has accused Russia of not adhering to it.

  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.

  Thats not how it works. It's called compromise, a word that seems lost today. One side not agreeing to another demands 100% is not negotiation. Either way, you appear to prefer slaughter of Ukrainian and Russian drafted soldiers than compromise.

  Elon Musk has reportedly restricted Starlink in Ukraine. Serhii Sternenko, an adviser to former Defense Minister Fedorov, wrote about this on Twitter. If true, it is catastrophic. @sternenko says that military equipment lost connectivity when traveling at speeds exceeding 160

  I want to know how the guy(s) behind the switch in Starlink feels. Or the guys in Pentagon who knew the ballistic missile are coming on civilians in Kyiv, but they withheld the information because their pedophile President and alcoholic rapist War Secretary told them so. To hell with USA by now.

  Many Starlink terminals in Ukraine are financed by Poland. Its Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has put Elon Musk on notice regarding the evolving situation.

  The temporal correlation with datacenter hits argued to take out Russian bot farms is striking...Normally I'd say "assume ignorance before incompetence before malice" but with the current US political climate it's usually all 3 at the same time.
