Nationalize that shit. Imminent domain Starlink and pay Musk its value. Let him sue if he thinks it’s not enough. It’s not about the money, but having that important tech in the hands of a bureaucracy that will delay political maneuvers and temper tantrums alike from hindering the Ukrainian military.
It’s not a Ukrainian company is the problem. You can’t just nationalise a foreign entity.
Should belong to the UN.
You can do anything…belive in yourself
Couldn’t the US nationalize it and then set up an agency to maintain the network/ensure it doesn’t get shut off again by Elon Musk?
Edit: Obviously I mean the US should do an imminent domain / purchase first, so they have access to the satellites first, smh.

That’s such a strange way to use banana republic. Banana republics were created after the US instituted coups due to the threat of land reform (nationalization of US company owned plantation land). Denying the right to nationalize things is what creates banana republics. (Not that I think anyone should do something so stupid as try to nationalize satellites they have no access to.)
