It’s so obvious what’s he doing. He will use this as pretext to shutoff StartLink.

    This happens every time we fund & arm extremists, and then turn off the flow of support. They retaliate. If you’re wondering what happens next, look at every other historical example.

      While it’s true that does commonly occur, it seems even more likely to me that Musk is just bullshitting to justify throwing Ukraine further under the bus.

      Are you trying to suggest that Ukrainians are extremists here? I mean seriously, what makes you think the country has the internet bandwidth to compete with what Twitter has available? For that matter, what makes you think they would have TIME for such things when Trump’s master is dropping bombs on them?

        Ukraine’s war is a massive PR effort to control media and social media for weapons gifts. It is an internet war, with assassinations on reporters, but also leveraging massing NATO/US resources for psyops. EU is still in full warmonger mode, and US has elements dedicated to permawar on Russia as well.
