USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?
I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:
If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.
Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.
We don't have to imagine it. We can just read news media from other countries.
I'm seriously considering subscribing to Le Monde. Turns out school French can take you a long way, and when you have an area of interest, you pick up that vocabulary quite quickly.
