    When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.

      Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.

          Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.

          I don’t think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.

            When it comes to stuff like this, the USA is like a tax heaven: outside of international jurisdiction and never signed any cooperation agreement with foreign powers. The USA is the best place to run shady business right now

        They’re presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast. Edit: probably not, see responses.

          IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.

      Close. There was a geobarrier that he refused to remove. Because attacks against Russia are aggression.
