Elon Musk ordered a “slowdown” to Starlink in Ukraine that set off a “panic” in the country and “confusion inside” the Trump administration.

The Wall Street Journal dropped a report on Tuesday diving into a disruption in Ukraine’s Starlink-internet service as they continue fighting a war with Russia.

According to U.S. officials and three people familiar with the situation, “Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration.”

          Because you think I’m MAGA. TRY AGAIN.

          The problem with Ukraine is that this small hateful minority have had a stranglehold on the government and war since the 2014 coup.

              American liberals are only NIMBY about Nazis. They love them “over there”.

                Nazis invaded Ukraine too. Russia’s liberation was almost as bad. It doesn’t stand to logic that Ukraine as a whole says one way or the other. Not sorry about your datacenters though.

                  The datacenter story was proven fake war propaganda, had nothing to do with bots, just search crawlers. You’re a pathetic chump to still be repeating it.

                  Your perverse take on WWII can only be seen as Holocaust denialism. Operation Barbosa was the extermination of the Slavic people just as much as Jews, Roma, etc. Half of all Holocaust victims were Soviet citizens. It depopulated large areas of the Ukraine entirely.

                  And it was done with the fervent participation of Stepan Bandera and his Ukrainian nationalists.

                    It sounds like you believe things as easily as you think i do. That could just be projection on your part. Did you reply to the right comment? Must be hard without your assistant to help generate this drivel.
