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.

Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.

~~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.

Exactly, he basically messed up the offensive to retake Crimea.

Elon & Trump are Russia's greatest weapons.

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.

It's not that easy to confiscate sattelites

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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
