It’s time for the UK and Europe to wake up to on the fact that the USA is no longer an ally of the West or democracy. Trump is clearly working to help Russia in any way he can whilst personally enriching himself and his friends in return.

🟠 UPDATE Ukraine to Resume Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries Elon Musk attributes Starlink slowdowns to US military and POTUS decisions, contradicting Ukrainian reports of system issues.

Because noone has said it in a comment I am gonna say it here, any issue you have with Musk in this situation is due to a confusion between STARSHIELD and STARLINK. Starshield is the part owned by the military, and that part has been restricted for Ukraine due to, quite frankly, bullshit reasons that you are allowed to be mad at. However, again…

So Trump is gonna get impeached over Ukraine for the second time in as many Presidential terms. It'd be funny if it wasn't so serious. Actually in fact to be serious, if it turns out Hegseth was the one who gave the "code red" to inhibit Starshield for Ukraine that could be the thing that gets him convicted by the Senate after the House impeaches…

Funny if it wasn’t so depressing. The dems were in power. Trump did not go to jail for Jan 6 or any reason. Biden didn’t make sure this couldn’t happen again. Why do you think they’ll do anything this time? Obama let bush of the hook for his war crimes. I’ll believe in justice when I see it being served but I’m not very hopeful. This will end in…

My point is, you still have to pay the US and SpaceX until you develop your European satellite like this, which a is extraordinarily difficult.

US can just turn off some weapon systems way before Starlink, the Saudis were arguing this was a safeguard against misuse when they were urging us to arm anti-Aesad forces in Syria. They were like, if the rebels you don't like get their hands on them, just turn them off, we know you can.
