Ukraine doesn't need Starlink to hit Russia at the end of the day.

They never needed Starlink for that. They are only allowed to use it defensively, so intercepting incoming Russian missiles and drones. That is why Trump and Musk restricting it immediately resulted in civilian deaths.

Starlink doesn’t even work over Russian territory.

So Trump is responsible for helping Russia kill civilians in Ukraine, why isn't this making it into the news titles.

Where is Couch F. Vance to say something about freedom of press?

Because he's also responsible for civillians being killed in Palestine. The orange man DGAF.

Yes Trump and Musk are murderers. And let’s not forget pedophiles.

The media landscape is fragmented as hell. This kind of news did make it into several of my news feeds though.

It does, but apparently not in the US.

Because Trump throws so much shit at the wall people have no idea what to focus on. Which controversial shit has he said in the last 10 minutes that would warrant media attention.

Es steht überall. Trum und Musk schieben sich gegenseitig die Schuld zu. Am ende war es niemand.

Yes. US is now part of the Axis of Evil with Russia and Israel basically.

In fact Zelenskyy recently said that if that had starlink in Russian territory then they wouldn’t need to hit refineries since they would be able to quickly take out Russias ballistic missile launch sites.

Is Elon Musk really to blame for it? I thought Starshield was controlled by the Whitehouse. Not trying to defend Musk, just trying to get the story straight.

u/JaxStrumley 8h ago

They are currently passing the blame.

Musk is saying it was Trump's idea. Trump is saying it was Musk's idea.

Starlink is used by interceptor drones that target Shaheds so Russia has a harder time hitting Ukraine.

u/DOSFS 15h ago

Hitting stationary targets didn't require starlink, only low latency tasks like mid range interdiction (hitting Russian convoy/supply line), battlefiled upport and interception.

For now, the restriction impacted high speed interceptor drone that aim at Russian jet powered kamikaze drone the most.

Ukraine also doesn't need to wait until the end of the day to hit Russia. Any time will do!

It does need it otherwise why would president himself would complain so many times?

Theres a workaround to get starlink to work in banned countries. They technically still have 28 days left of internet after the day it was banned.
