      Who do you think suggested the idea to them? $10 says Elon directed Russia straight to a backdoor. He’s been itching to see Ukraine fail this whole time, I wouldn’t put it past him to directly interfere in such a way.

          He has refused to allow Ukrainian troops to use Starlink within Russian occupied regions to avoid “conflict escalation”.

            It would be illegal to enable it within Russian/occupied territory because of US sanctions.

              He also doesn’t let Ukraine use starlink in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine, according to a quick google search.

              Why? Can starlink not track which ones they give to Ukraine and not let any others work in the area? Or would that require competence that Leon Skum and company doesn’t have?

          IDK, maybe that whole thing where he likes to selectively turn off Starlink, or maybe that time he literally went to visit Putin and then spouted some Russian Blood and soil?

    It’s interesting the lengths Russia will go through to win this without becoming a half-decent country.

        I mean that’s more because America’s metro fucking sucks. My country has better and I’m literally from a third world country.

        Well, what about if we compare ‘factories not on fire’ or ‘citizens lost on the battlefield in the last year (month)’ or even ‘incidents of explosive drone attacks’?

        Are they still half decent?
