  1. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-starlink-russia-shahed-135-drone-elon-musk-spacex-1959563) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)

    > Ukraine's air force declined to directly address the reported discovery of Starlink within a Shahed drone when approached by Newsweek, but said Ukrainian experts were studying targets shot down by air defenses.

    > Back in May, the then-assistant secretary of defense for space policy in the Pentagon, John Plumb, told Bloomberg that the U.S. was "Heavily involved in working with the government of Ukraine and SpaceX to counter Russian illicit use of Starlink terminals.”

    > “If SpaceX obtains knowledge that a Starlink terminal is being used by a sanctioned or unauthorized party, we investigate the claim and take actions to deactivate the terminal if confirmed,” the company added.

    Ukraine took actions first.

    Sounds like it’s time to requisition Starlink.

    Call it “Eminent Domain”.

    Reminds me of the buisiness men that profited from the War of the Roses .

  5. After Elon shut starlink down for the Ukrainians just before a retaliatory offensive –

    >“How am I in this war?” Musk asked rhetorically in an interview with Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”
