This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely,

Zelenskyy with the receipts: Quote from Zelenskyy: "To understand whether these are really technical problems at SpaceX, or whether it is some kind of operation or agreement to restrict us, to disconnect us, to prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people... we sent a couple of cars with Starlink to the territory of European Union…

No, I didn’t admit he disabled an air defence system. Temporary speed limits on terminals in motion are not the same as “pressing a button to disable a military air defence system” or flipping a kill switch. That distinction was the entire point. You’re just redefining the words until they match the claim you already wanted to make. Starshield is…

Trump is retaliating against Ukraine for taking out the bot 🤖 farm being used to interfere with the Midterms. This is what Trump does. He’s a dangerous traitor to the USA. A criminal pedophile and a killer. He and Putin are colluding to destroy our country. Take every penny and Gaza us.

Marco Rubio asked about Elon Musk saying Ukraine's Starlink access is up to Trump. "I saw a report on that the other day and it's just categorically false. No one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down internet or slow down speeds so certain drones couldn't use it"

Sadly, this kind of bigotry and tribalism can flourish anywhere, even Europe. Marie Le Pen isn't qualified to work a cash register, yet she's a major player in France. Right wing Partij voor de Vrijheid (Party for Freedom) was the largest party in the Dutch House of Representatives in 2023. I am not defending the abject bigotry and cruelty Trump…

If you’re gonna go so far as to lift sanctions, crippling Starlink/Starshield for Putin is all part of the package deal to keep his copies of the Trump - Epstein files sealed (for now.)

❗️Zelensky says Starlink restrictions remain active in Ukraine, disrupting interceptor drones, logistics and military operations. According to him, connections cut out completely above 161 km/h, causing drones to be lost. Ukraine then tested vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals inside the EU at speeds above 180 km/h, where he says the systems…

These satellites are all in a (very) low orbit. They will orbit the globe in about 100 minutes (give or take), which means they'll only be over Europe for a relatively short part of that time. A system to cover Europe can certainly use fewer satellites than one that wants to have global coverage, but it would still need enough to have…

❗️Elon Musk approached Trump with the idea of imposing Starlink speed limits in Ukraine, The Telegraph reports, citing four sources familiar with the discussions. One source said Trump “agreed” with Musk’s proposal, paving the way for the Pentagon to restrict Starshield, the military-grade system used by Ukraine. A senior source said: “The reality…

Technology and globalisation really changed things. Most of these new techbros pay their local American employees higher than average wages. Their American employees are no longer factory line workers but white collar office workers who have little incentive to unionise and push their company to do better.

If Dems regain Congress they can do investigation to find out WHO gave the order to take ouf Starlink/Starshield. That person deserves to be brought to justice. #vote #RemoveTrumpEnablers

US still hobbling Ukraine's defense by restricting Starlink operating speed to 161 km/h. EU territory unaffected, only Ukraine, pointing to deliberate action by US, not technical problem. US betrayal continues, Ukrainian soldiers and citizens at increased risk.

Again: Elon (with Trump’s permission) throttling Ukraine via Starlink to help Putin kill Ukrainians. Building Starlink into essential systems is handing Elon supervillain-level powers. More:

America turning inwards would be a step that hurts them a lot. I can see an easy path to the breakdown of the union of states into 3 - 5 zones. East coast, west coast, middle, border north states and maybe something else. Control of those would be highly contested and funded by the Theils, Zuckerberg's and Musk's for control. Not saying it wouldnt…

We already live in a corporate hellscape kid. I'm not debating your points, youre absolutely right about the two party system being inherently flawed and lop sided. But we have to get the reigns back from an out of control GOP in some way first. The next election is not the time to take chances and voting third party will make no difference…
