      I mean, good luck, but what do you intend to do when Chuck Schumer says that it’s time to move on as a nation?

    Musk must be charged for treason.

      Musk should be guillotined, but the US Constitution defines treason very spefically for a good reason. And this isn’t that.

        Maybe this isn’t but that doesn’t mean Musk hasn’t committed, and shouldn’t be tried for, treason.

          The point is, why is Russia supposedly the enemy of the US again?

          Seems the US has lots of enemies, and the liberals and conservatives just disagree on who they should be at constant war with, not if they should be at war.

            Really? I thought the point was “Musk must be charged for treason.”

            Didn’t realize you conflated a whole different argument into that one sentence.

            Maybe take your strawman into the fields with the rest of the scarecrows.

              So Russia is an enemy of the US, or is not?

        It’s giving aid and comfort to our enemy, textbook treason

          Did the US declare war on Russia this week? I didn’t hear about that.

    Ukraine’s defense has been shown, at least in the past, to be crucially dependent on Starlink. So Putin is likely eager to make it as attractive as possible for Musk to turn that off.

    Now, we can argue that having a single man-child idiot like Musk able to turn off things like this isn’t a good idea - but currently that is the case.

      Putin wants his own Starlink. And he doesn’t want Musk to turn it off. He wants to be able to turn it off himself whenever he needs to - preferably without having to cause a Kessler syndrome.

        He wants Musk to turn it off for Ukraine.
