“They are like blind kittens,” a Ukrainian General Staff commander tells POLITICO.
Two days after Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched Starlink verification and blocked unverified terminals in Ukraine, the pace of Russia’s offensive appears to be slowing, a Ukrainian military official told POLITICO.
“Currently, such a trend is indeed observed. But it will be necessary to monitor further whether it will continue, whether there will be other factors,” said the official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
“However, at some places, Ukrainian military Starlinks which have not been registered yet have also been disconnected. But the registration process is ongoing,” the official added.
Am I the only one who finds someone like musk having the ability to drastically change the state of wars on a whim disturbing?
The super wealthy have been doing this for ages, it’s just that Musk is profoundly stupid so he does it in the open.
Well, giving them access in the first place was probably the bigger problem, but the Americans have supplied both sides of a whole lot of wars.
There are many crazy people who can drastically change the state of many things. 70% of government heads are complete idiots or pieces of shit. Or both. 90% of billionaires are too. Maybe even all 100%. And they have a tremendous amount of power.
Of course it is disturbing, but nothing new.
