of course he was afraid of russian nuukes. this only prompted Ukrainian engineers to bypass use of starlink entirely and current sea drones, like the one used in second Kerch bridge strike, or these used against SIG tanker and Olenegorsky Gornyak landing ship use domestic technology only
@jonhendry Another huge reason why nationalization would be really stupid. Starlink’s value can be dichotomized into two categories: (1) Business activity that conflicts with US foreign policy, and (2) Business activity that doesn’t conflict with US foreign policy. I suspect the latter value vastly exceeds the former value. In a condemnation proceeding, the US would have to buy the whole kit and kaboodle–what a waste. Then…managing Starlink’s business as a federal entity (wtf?)…
it’s weird that the only thing you’ve posted in this thread is links to wav files of the sound of guillotine blades cutting through the air
