Russian asset Trump ordered Musk to shut it down to protect Russian/Iranian diesel.

Next.

Pretty sure Ukraine wasn't allowed to use Starlink inside Russia, so it does nothing to the refinery strike capacity.

blackmail to stop attacking refineries

Effects drong operations in Ukraine which is obviously very bad but not in Russia.

u/ANQsavedmylife 18h ago

No, it isn’t a coincidence.
I suspect that Ukraine has been expecting this betrayal for a while.

u/WeAllStartAsAnAnus 16h ago

I'm sure Ukraine knows exactly where they have the US at the moment - but have to play the geopolitical, political and shitty game to keep as much support from the traitorous US as possible.

The god thing is for planned strikes on a unmobile Target aka datacenter/ refinery they dont need Starlink

edit: now reporting of blocking above 60-70 km/h

"I confirm that (Starlink owner) SpaceX implemented speed restrictions on Starlink terminals while in motion last night. Currently, the restriction applies to the StarShield 'military service package' and limits speed to 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour)," he said in a post on social media.

Look, I know you're not personally to blame, but the American people voted this lunatic in twice. The rest of the world will find it hard to rebuild trust.

u/CompleteDetective359 16h ago

Brexit, LePen and AfD are extremely strong. Russia has some a masterful job at stroking gears and promoting the idiots. We're not the only ones that feel for it. Attacking the whole country and not the individuals responsible doesn't help the wider cause, it only supports the Russian goal to divide divide and divide also l again so they can control and dominate.

u/gham89 15h ago

It's the twice part.

Brexit happened, and as a country we broadly agree it was a disaster. We've learned.

The US has not.

20 days you'll have out response

Fingers crossed for a good one. 👍

u/FormalAffectionate56 15h ago

Hold up a moment. If the British have “learned” with respect to Brexit, then how come they’re not doing everything it takes to get back into the EU?

Because that’s essentially the argument being made against Americans right now. “You voted him in, so do whatever it takes to get him out.”

u/bedrooms-ds 13h ago

Trust! That's gone. We're finding it hard to rebuild the society as a whole!

Not all Americans voted for this Shit

u/BeardySam 15h ago

Not all Russians voted for Putin but when he bombs a nursery we don’t wring our hands and say ‘well they’re not all bad’.

u/Fast-Satisfaction482 17h ago

And yet he won the elections.

u/hamellr 14h ago

That is increasingly being called into question. Winning all seven swing states is a nearly impossible feat.

u/bedrooms-ds 13h ago

Even if Trump didn't cheat, it was not a big surprise he won.

u/Fast-Satisfaction482 14h ago

How exactly would that have happened? The election was very closely monitored by both sides. Don't forget that the democrats had a president that was forced to step back from canidating due to being too senile and his replacement was a person that performed exceedingly bad in the primaries.

While I cannot understand how the US-americans elected trump over harris, I do see how the democrats really did their best to fumble.

u/BeardySam 15h ago

Trump represents the US. Literally.  On the world stage, that is your country and your actions. I know that doesn’t feel good, but you can’t pretend it’s not America 

Nobody cares that ‘some Russians didn’t vote for Putin’ when he bombs a nursery. Nobody cares if technically you quite like Ukraine. Your government is betraying them, and fucking the global economy with your ridiculous war in Iran.  You’re not nearly mad enough.

u/Mattman624 17h ago

If that were true they wouldn't be trump supporters

u/Icy-Antelope-6519 17h ago

Again Some true colours are shown by the US, looks like Trump try to get Some leverage…..

u/Glass-Jaguar4178 16h ago

the world must move away from the US hardware, being sabotaged by your 'ally' is your own faukt if it happens three, four, five, six times and counting

u/No_Possibility_9256 15h ago

Boycott x, Tesla and American goods immediately

u/Acceptable_Rice 14h ago

More treason.

First it was overthowing elections, then it was hiding national security documents from the FBI, and now it is supporting the fascist takeover of Europe.

u/dallas470 16h ago

Could there be any leverage to reverse this? From foreign nations, etc? I think that if Trump did happen to die or vacate office, that this could reverse itself.
