B-Man Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Reminder Thread Title is false. I get that they're trying to portray Musk as pro-Russia, but he said from the start that Starlink isn't meant for the military to target drones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The Logan Act. LOL! What clowns. Anyway, Musk said he ignored Ukraine's request to extend Starlink into Crimea. He didn't change/turn off anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, John, watch a Schwarzenegger movie once in a while. This is EXACTLY how it happens. Btw, I’m not sure how I feel about all this, but feel like I understand why Musk took the position he did. On the other hand, why is Zelensky not trashing the US Response as being insufficient to assist his country? If it’s truly about turning the tide of war and saving his country, why not take his case for the US and other allies to get involved here? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a unlikely is getting too much help from the US to start dishing on them now I think my whole problem with that is, if musk is against it, tell the military that he is against it. Don’t wait for an action to happen and then destroy very expensive equipment so that they don’t hit the Russians who I am not going to say he is in the lead with, but he certainly help them that day. by the way, the US getting directly involved in the conflict is one of the things that could start a nuclear war right now we are just providing them assets direct involvement would change things Edited September 10, 2023 by John from Riverside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that they're trying to portray Musk as pro-Russia, but he said from the start that Starlink isn't meant for the military to target drones. So wait. They're not using Starlink to coordinate missile attacks or troop movements that would be considered offensive military action? We're they doing those by morse code or walkie talkie? Why the carve out for drones. This nonsense is what the SpaceX's COO said in 2022 apparently in regards to this incident: And no one should be surprised that SpaceX was wielded like a weapon in this way, either. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's chief operating officer and president, told CNBC's Michael Sheetz in 2022 that SpaceX was "really pleased to be able to provide Ukraine connectivity and help them in their fight for freedom." That sentiment was immediately undermined, however, when she waffled nonsensically, seemingly oblivious to how freedom is won in warfare. In her caveats, she noted reports of Ukrainian soldiers using Starlink "for drones" in March 2022, and said their use "for the military is fine, but our intent was never to have them use it for offensive purposes." How does Eric Pistey know the terms of service when the US Foreign aid and donors who were paying Musk have not even been identified? btw, who the hell is he? Apparently a 53 yo resident of South Carolina with no relevant credentials who follows Musk and supports his every move including Musks contention that the Chinese Ballons shot down were actually alien UFO's. https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/us-news/elon-musk-reacts-after-us-fighter-jets-shoot-down-ufo-says-some-of-my-alien-friends-dot-articleshow.html Edited September 10, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe you must also be livid at the weak response to the disaster that is coming from fentanyl across the southern border, which is killing hundreds of Americans a day. Us mocking the lying of Dems should make you happy that the truth is coming out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all the majority of the drug that is coming into the United States, is going through ports of entry we need to make that distinction Second, it is an epidemic, and I actually am not against working with the Mexican government to start making tactical strikes of these dudes, not in favor of invading Mexico at all in for pressuring the Mexican government to take more action Edited September 10, 2023 by John from Riverside 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this particular conflict has layers of complexity similar at times to what we see in the Middle East,I support the effort generally, but there is a $&*t ton of money moving internationally and some people are benefitting on a massive scale. With limited oversight and a country with a history of corruption, it would be foolish not to consider how/why this all plays out. All that aside, I’m not advocating for US involvement at all. Still, it seems logical to me that Putin would see US financial and assets support as a major problem to be dealt with and an act of hostility in that regard. It’s been established he’s a crazed murderous dictator who hates both the Ukrainians and the US. From Zelensky’s perspective, facing death, destruction and invasion on a massive scale, it’s odd that massive amounts of money are cool, calling out Musk is fine, but pleading for direct US involvement is a bridge too far.
