YAWN

Now we can understand why the chicom’s butt-boy in the WH is creating multiple bureaucratic roadblocks against Musk’s Starliner launch...

China believes that Starlink could be used for military purposes

Or, rather, China believes that Starlink could provide uncensored communication capabilities to its subjects.

Musk might find a way to blow the Three Gorges Dam to smithereens if they did that. He can build more satellites, they have only one country…

[ryderann]

No doubt Musk would then take out a few Chinese satellites. He’s well suited for tit-for-tat.

[dfwgator]

When the World War starts, the first thing to go will be all the satellites, so all of these so-called ‘smart weapons’ will be rendered useless.

Silly article.
Why would China worry about Starlink, when there are plenty US military satellites that have been operating since the 60’s?
With no Starlink, there is still plenty of US Satellites in geosynchronous orbit to spy on China.

“Or, rather, China believes that Starlink could provide uncensored communication capabilities to its subjects.”

As well as a great backup for US military coms.

As far as the near miss and CCP astronauts having to maneuver I don’t believe that too much.

Starlink satellites have their own built in collision avoidance.

Kessler effect

[McGruff]

More space junk.

[BobL]

Mosk probably should have kept his mouth shut regarding the use of Starlink for the Ukraine War, as China now sees the threat, and unlike Russia, DOES NOT CARE what the rest of the world thinks when they decide to do something.

[proust]

More pro wresting. If the CCP was serious, they’d commandeer his Giga Tesla factory in Shanghai.

Yawn??

apparently, you don’t understand the big words in the post.

[existentially_kuffer]

Musk should move the Tesla plant out of China.

[6ppc]

No way they can take down enough satellites to shut it down. Our military did testing with Starlink early on.

[libh8er]

How sad the CCP isn’t returning the love Elon has showed them.

[Salgak]

Elon needs to mount a single tungsten dart on every one of his Starlink sats.

Chicoms attack satellites,the darts get dropped over Chinese territory. Beijing and the Three Gorges Damcome to mind as good targets. . . then the ICBM fields and Naval ports. . . .
