Happened shortly after Elon took his Mom to the Met Gala.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russian space agency Roscosmos, threatened Musk for “supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communications."

Too bad Musk can’t let the Russians use it for free — until Zelensky stops the victory dances and agrees to compromise.

Maybe Elon got queasy when they started using drones to deliver chemical weapons, and bragged about it

They took him off the kill list when he caved in and agreed to keep paying for it

Musk should have said: “we must control disinformation and hate speech on the Starlink Platform.”

The American Left and its DC masters wouldn’t have had a reply.

Musk was warned by Russia Starlink satellites would become legitimate military targets if they allowed Ukrainian military use.

After checking the force majeure clause in Starklink insurance policies he opted to block drone device signals from Ukraine. Prudent decision.

He gave them star link for free in the beginning. And then they treated him like absolute garbage. The idiot Banderists deserve whatever happens to them. They aren’t even smart enough to be polite to the benefactor.

Just funny that some of the same liberal bozos who are against using drones to target Jihadis are OK with it when it comes to those wily Russians.

"Yeah, I have about had it up to my here (my kneecaps) with Zelensky"

Yeah!
My family and I had the very same thoughts about FDR and his cabinet during WWII...

Nothing worse than fighting a war while being led by a corrupt politician...

there is speculation this is being done because of drones using starlink to deliver chemical weapons.

aren’t you supposed to compare him to churchill? that was the suggestion I saw in the circular. FDR may have negative image with some republican voters, but churchill tends to have a much better image today.

check your notes again, FDR would work on DU.

"...check your notes again, FDR..."

Do not need to check my "notes"...
I just check my memories of living under FDR...

“More proof that the government of Ukraine is straight up evil.”

Corruption is in Ukraine’s DNA. Just like FedGov.

that being the case, I apologize.

we are invaded with nudge posters, and FDR semmed like a comparison used in error on the wrong forum.
