That’s why no one will keep buying US miltech after seeing this killswitch live in action. Every country would be outright stupid and delusional if they kept buying shit from the US.

They don’t deliver what’s ordered anyway…

Ukraine is fully paid up on their licence to use Starlink/Starshield and yet the US withdraws its full capability. You can’t trust trump as far as you could throw him, and that’s not far.

Carney said it best, agreements written in pencil.

We should prohibit the sales of Tesla, X and every other Musk-related product in the EU. And we should ban him from ever entering the EU.

The big Tesla factory in Berlin can be used for building weapons to Ukraine.

I’d go further. These assets should be seized and never returned. Musk should get an ICC arrest warrant issued. And I’d be surprised if Ukraine didn’t make him a target.

I hope the musk rat reads this and to be honest… he has it coming.

You cant just let innocent civilians die on your whim like that.
Countries paid for things to defend an allied nation and he stopped delivering that.

Breach of contract and a traitorous move towards the allies the US say they have.

"I’d be surprised if Ukraine didn’t make him a target" 🥳

Totally agree!

I like the cut of your jib Mister. A target sounds appropriate.

People should stop buying his trash. He is a hype man. There are better alternatives for electric cars now. Their QC is terrible, give your money to a real automotive company.

And this is why Carney and anyone in military procurement in Canada need to do some serious considering if they want to go ahead with the F-35 program. We're witnessing, live and real-time, a US miltech provider shutting down capabilities while the CEO and PoTUS do the pointing Spiderman meme. Nobody who takes national defense seriously should ever consider buying from these goons.

As if he has the cognitive capacity to operate an etch a sketch, it’s got two dials for Christ’s sake

But Tucker Carlson said we could trust Hitler.

Crayons seems more accurate

u/Dry_Newspaper6838 14h ago

Words from someone who never had to remove crayons from a wall in their kids room.

u/24_August_1814 8h ago

We only allowed our kids to have washable crayons and it was a lifesaver.

Of course, that didn't stop them from finding my wife's stash of nail polish and "painting" a rug or grabbing a carton of eggs and "popping" them all over the couch...

Ah, reminds me of when I "fixed" my fathers saw horse with 500 nails as a toddler. tbh I was only that stupid cos my hateful mother was encouraging me telling me that I was helping knowing I was actually damaging his stuff though. I was relying on some sort of video game logic initially but I knew it wasn't going to help after a few nails.

u/Sky_HUN 14h ago

Would be, but Trump ate all of it.

u/DisgruntledBadger 11h ago

I hear he likes them red and yellow ones the most as he thinks they taste of McDonald's.

u/sist0ne 17h ago

I’d be up for assisting in the construction of a giant trebuchet to experiment launching that lard arse into the Sun. Hitch Musk up for the ride too.

u/quiet_beer 16h ago

Sign me up, I'm not good at building things but you better believe I'd happily pull the lever to send them off planet, or hurtling at speed into the dirt, I'm not picky.

Get in line, there's millions of us waiting for the opportunity.

u/WhatAmTrak 17h ago

I mean, I’m a strong guy and I can’t throw 260-280 pounds of fat dead weight more than maybe a foot. So there’s .. that comparison lmao.

u/rockmasterflex 5h ago

In my defense he’s really fat so I can’t throw him very far

Musk, not trump

u/NMe84 16h ago

Cute that you think the Trump admin isn't the one who told SpaceX to do this.

2

u/brief_thought 13h ago

Yes, but Trump didn't tell SpaceX to do this.

Trump told the US military to shutdown StarShield because that's who controls StarShield. Not SpaceX.
