    Starlink is a great system. The problem is its idiot owner, Musk, who is more worried how the use of Starlink in the Ukraine is going to affect his company stock. You’re in the big leagues now, Elmo. You cant “sort of” commit to a war unless you’re a rich Saudi dilettante, who wants to try his hand at international shiat-stirring.

      The use of Starlink was restricted by US Government sanctions: no use on Russian territory or assets.

      Tough luck, that also means no using it for attacking on Russian territory or assets.

      Edit: Here’s a link with sources and dates.

          Crimea is Ukraine

          Crimea is Stalin’s “present” to the Republic of Ukraine after the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Crimean Tatars by the USSR.

          Do you support that genocide?

          that’s not how sanctions work at all

          These sanctions work exactly like that: no service, means no service, not “no service, but sometimes some”.

          If you want an exception, you ask the US Government, not some rando running the service.
