    In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.

    This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

    Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe

        They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.

        Those are the same thing. Ukraine wasn’t using it to shit post on X.

          You can’t think of another way a country would need internet access other than high speed drones and shit posting?

      Even worse that they did it not just without warning, but without even a “hey we shut you off”. Just, system switch cut off.

      And as others have said, not even remotely surprising at this point.

      I’ve been dumbfounded at the US since the start of the year but I think this marks the moment where they are openly on Russia’s side against the West. Dangerous times. I’m rather worried at where this is going.
