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.

It's not that easy to confiscate sattelites

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
