Russian forces now using Musk's Starlink on Ukraine front line

You know US companies can’t legally do business with Russia? SpaceX says they will disable terminals found to be used by Russia.

Musk is preventing Ukranian armed forces from using Starlink. The guy is absolute scum of the earth.

That said, heck no Starlink shouldn't be available to the Russian military. They are engaged in a war of unprovoked aggression and have drawn the conflict as a Russian vs. "The West" existential fight (lol).

Fine. Then you get no access to the technology, services or benefits that "The West" generates. Elon Musk didn't generate his wealth through participation in the Russian Oligarchy.

"Musk is Bad" is a different conversation, and "Bad" is too damn simple to explain his impulsive recklessness AND the technical inspiration he has also reignited for a huge swath of techies.

If this was a service that was being used by Russian civilians to stay informed, and retain access to information without fear of being jailed/prosecuted - then you have an argument. This isn't that, it is leveraging Western technology to attack a Western ally.

Would you argue for AWS to allow all of its regions to participate in an attack on US infrastructure, knowing it was orchestrated by a foreign adversary to the United States? Would Russia let a now-nationalized Yandex to allow the same against their own national infrastructure? Would Alibaba?

We should also drop blankets and food to Russians right? You wouldn't want them to die of hypothermia or malnutrition

It's a fucking war, what do you expect?
