but at least he's still an asshole.

[Hiawatha Pete]

1. Elon Muskovite

[hlthe2b]

2. How anyone can defend Twitter now that its owner is clearly in the Putin camp...

Not to mention an overt MAGAT, escapes me.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Clearly, clearly in Putin side? How so? The communications satellites were given to who?

Evidence!??

Anyone defending Twitter before Musk on Republican side also, so no change there.

[hlthe2b]

4. I think you've said more than you realize and it is not pretty.

Bye. I don't have the need to argue with you further. This is a Democratic website that fully backs efforts to push back against autocracy and fascism, including the horrific and Nazi-like tactical invasion of Ukraine.. The RW and Putin are the opposite. Ditto, Elon who clearly is increasingly enabling Putin propaganda and intentionally taking away the communications lifeline for the Ukrainians.. I find your support and defense of the latter incomprehensible.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

5. Putin and Musk are not on same side, so just asking for evidence from the accusers.

Usually the onus and burden of proof is on the accuser, unless you American military then no evidence needed! Just trust another Niger yellowcake story, same as white balloons stories.

America has very good heavy lift capacity into space because of…who’s company? And it’s not Russian.

[hlthe2b]

7. I told you that I do not wish to engage in those who enable or defend Putin or Putin-assistants.

So, I want nothing to do with Twitter given Elon's actions in the past months absolutely contradict your assertion. So again. Have a good life and maybe wake up.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

9. Your fundamental error is an accusation of not being vehemently pro-democracy.

So, yes, eom.

[JHB]

10. Who gave who communications satellites? If you mean free Starlink accounts...

...that's what's being pulled back and limited.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

11. That makes Musk pro-Putin? Not seeing the Link!

[hlthe2b]

16. Starlink Competitor Touts Pentagon Partnership, Blasts Musk: "he has blood on his hands"

I could not agree more. Nor could anyone who gives a damn about the Ukrainians and does not defend Putin. Musk is enabling massacres of civilians with the purposeful shutdown of communications to civilians and the military alike.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

18. Enabling massacres? Doesn't need reply.

[hlthe2b]

19. So now you deny Putin is engaged in civilian massacres... Right.

Why are you on this website?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

20. You said...musk is enabling massacres...Reread what u wrote please?

What a difference changing one word can make!

[hlthe2b]

21. I said he was enabling Putin.

Other websites may let you misstate what other posters have said. It won't play well here.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

22. Copy and pasted your comment for you.

“I could not agree more. Nor could anyone who gives a damn about the Ukrainians and does not defend Putin. Musk is enabling massacres of civilians with the purposeful shutdown of communications to civilians and the military alike.”

[hlthe2b]

23. Do you know the terms and concepts of primary versus secondary effects? Apparently NOT

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. I find it strange that Musk blocks Ukraine's use of Starlink just as Russia builds for invasion.

[blogslug]

6. Here you go

[Alexander Of Assyria]

8. Ukrainian military says wants to use for military purposes, private company says no.

That’s not a crime. That’s a company that who wants to stay out of the war, but support the Citizens…who mostly all never went war, ever.

Why aren’t other American private companies rushing in to help? Does that make them allies of Putin!?

[blogslug]

12. Have fun defending terrible people

Leave me out of it

[Alexander Of Assyria]

13. Misunderstood, defending facts and logical conclusions based on actual facts.

Doesn’t matter the person, or balloon.

[hlthe2b]

24. Indeed...

[2naSalit]

25. It makes him...

An accessory to war crimes and this could be a war crime, including profiteering.

I hope folks at the ICC are watching.


And since we paid for the Starlink system, mostly, with our tax dollars, control of the system should be taken away from the ratfuck, at least temporarily. Might require an EO from Biden.

Fuck that fucking guy.

[hlthe2b]

27. +1

[Alexander Of Assyria]

28. ICC has no jurisdiction over Americans, America not member. Avoided them like the plaque.

Gonna have to redefine “war crime” for that stretch to apply!

Profiteering off war?

Ever heard of America??

In an article written for Al Jazeera, Jonathan Turley, a Shapiro Professor at George Washington University, states that there is an increasing “ military industrial complex composed of military contractors and lobbyists perpetuating war. ” At the heart of this complex are three distinct groups of profiteers, corporations, lobbyists, and agencies, “ that have created a massive, self-sustaining terror-based industry.” Under the notion of a continuous terror threat, these entities persistently advocate for more war, funded by the public, and although they occupy markedly separate sections of the state, each sector relies upon the other two to consistently provide a road to profit.

[2naSalit]

29. Well...

That piece of shit nazi is also a citizen of other countries that probably are so there's that. US can let go of that tether right there.

ETA:

OH WAIT! YOU'RE QUOTING JOHNATHAN TURLEY IN DEFENSE OF ANYTHING?




This conversation is over.

14. For those (few)defending Musk: "Starlink competitor: 'I'm sure there's blood on his hands for that'"

Starlink Competitor Touts Pentagon Partnership, Blasts Musk

Starlink competitor calls Musk’s Ukraine actions ‘egregious’
Kymeta positioning itself as the better satcom option for DOD

Rivals of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite communications are gaining attention from the Pentagon as Musk draws criticism for Starlink’s unavailability in contested areas like Ukraine.

Musk has threatened to cut off financial support for Starlink service in Ukraine, an essential communications tool to combat Russia’s invasion. The Defense Department, meanwhile, confirmed it’s looking for other satcoms to do business with.

One competitor to Starlink is Kymeta, a Bill Gates-funded company that has donated and sold its technology to Ukraine. Kymeta’s chief development officer Bill Marks said Musk’s threats to cut off service in Ukraine and limit availability in contested areas like Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014 in a move seen by the UN as a violation of international law, were “egregious.”

“I’m sure there’s blood on his hands for that,” he said.

Starlink did not respond to several requests for comment.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

15. So another company wants a Pentagon contract...probably better than giving it away.

But then the Pentagon is dragged into the war even more.

[hlthe2b]

17. This one isn't trying to enable Putin. Again your defense is noted.
