Note that you can be anti-Russia and anti-Ukraine at the same time.

  Also, crucially, Starlink has been proactive in trying to disconnect Russian operatives who have managed to attain a Starlink connection. All the same, Elon’s backing of Trump doesn’t bode well for a good outcome for Ukraine (nor other ex-USSR satellites that are feeling very nervous right now)

    >proactive "causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened". Instead Elmo denied the fact russians had working terminals in the first place, and was later forced by State Dep to enact some measures. Those measures are still ineffective as evidenced by recent Starlink controlled Iranian Shahed drone sighting.

      I misspoke. They've been very quick to react to Ukranian intel. If they were staffed, perhaps they'd have the capability to be proactive, but I can't necessarily say they would be motivated to, esp. when the military is doing that for them. And the Ukr. military are perhaps more effective because they know where their communication centers are supposed to be under the fog of war. That said, I'm only going on what has been said in public

        The Feds said they were proactive. It's not SpaceX that claimed that

      Forced. The word proactive is in a statement from a Pentagon official, not SpaceX.
