Yeah like, I can understand a hesitation around being directly involved in a war effort, but mate once you’ve opened your system up to the military you’re kinda already there.
Yeah, but Putin said he'd give me like $10 or whatever in rubles if I did it. Then he called me a chicken... And I'm no chicken and I wanted the $10 so I could get this month's battle pass!
He literally was paid a shit-ton of money by the pentagon to provide service to the Ukranian military. He took the money. And then he's like, "how could I have known they'd use it in WAR?"
It's pretty obvious he got paid by the Russians to sabotage that operation. Which makes him an enemy agent against the US I guess since he sabotaged a military asset the US paid for.
He got paid to let Ukraine use starlink within Ukraines post 2014 borders to defend Ukraine land. Then when Ukraine tries to bomb a Russian navy fleet OUTSIDE OF UKRAINE'S BORDERS and it doesn't work everyone gets mad. I'm all for trashing Elon when it's due, and I trash him a lot, but he was literally playing by the established rules here.
Had he let the Ukrainians bomb the fleet, he would have directly went against the US militaries orders. I get we all want Russia to stop and whatnot, but (and I hate that I'm the one defending him and saying this) Elon didn't do wrong here. The missles were flying correctly in starlink air, they hit the border, then stopped working. Also, this happened last year.
Perhaps if we got rid of borders.
Edit: I guess people didn't see his username.
I will note, while I find my namesake’s story interesting, I do quibble on the benefits of bombardment by multiple-reentry thermonuclear warheads.
It's definitely a controversial subject. But there may be some benefits to v2, like me not needing to wake up for work lol
So how does it feel to not have a country? To not have borders to define yourself against the world? (I guess seven nukes do make a clear border, huh?)
I believe you have the wrong psychopath in an experimental plane.
My bad, but its my duty to always reference it. (They mail me some fanta ever time I do it, which is wierd, i never gave them my address, and I'm afraid what will happen if i stop)
Mmmmm orange
