I saw this coming the instant I learned that StarLink was being relied upon. Never allow private entities like that with too much to offer and no accountability.
That fucker is trying to help pooptin win the war. So we need to find a way to replace StarLink. In fact, that whole network of space trash need to be brought down and soon since it has become obvious what the muskratfucker has in mind regarding power grabbing.
Muskratfucker hs just played his cards. He has just exposed himself, without question now, as the rl Dr. Evil or whatever the evil rich guy in the cartoons is called. He's here.
Should never have relied on that system. This is a great example of why privatization of crucial infrastructure is not a good idea.
