    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.

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

      Musk and Starlink aren’t major difference makers in this war. It’s a years-long slog where the main takeaway is “cheap and reliable in volume is more than a match for the newest and fanciest.” It hasn’t been on the verge of turning in Ukraine’s favor since the end of Russia’s initial push towards Kyiv.

          “Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian” was ran into the ground five years ago, get new material.

          But yes, a steel cage offering significant protection against much more modern technology is a great example of what I’m talking about.

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