fuck off. the us just wants to intervene and its never good.
Ukraine thought so too before the man-baby billionaire started fucking with it because they didn’t sufficiently suck his dick. The US should 100% take public ownership of starlink. It’s literally a state department tool, so why is a billionaire controlling it?
I don’t want Trump in control of Starlink either.
I think you’re thinking about this a bit skewed. The system they’ve set up is identical to Russia, where private mercenaries institute the will of the state without the state taking responsibility. This is only possible when the state actors align with the business interests of the company and so at best they are able to strong arm policy in their favor for access to their controls and at worst act with impunity while the state wipes their hands clean of the consequences. In all cases it being controlled by tech billionaires is worse than being controlled by the government.
Aren’t billionaires in control of the state dept?
Yes, but you never want to set up a situation where countries can act through companies and avoid the obvious responsibility for those decisions. You also never want to give the reigns of state department powers to private capital, but we’re way past that.
No doubt.
The only reason Starlink works in Iran is because the Trump admin is working to gain power. It’s not philanthropic.
Musk will probably cut it off soon.
Unless Iran jams the connections…oh wait
Censorship works.
