Beaming signals directly into a country your at war with already is an escalation. This would just be a response.

You must be kidding. Starlink is already beamed to almost every country in Europe, including Ukraine and Russia. It's just not available everywhere yet because of local, national licensing issues. Easy enough to turn it on when Ukraine's government asked for it.

Not sure what you’re getting at, it’s not your choice or my choice as to whether activating it in Ukraine is considered a combat action - the choice is Putin’s.

No, he’s not kidding. He’s just nuts, that’s all.
