@laraseligman@JenGriffinFNC@WSJ Shoddy reporting. Starlink (commercial) and Starshield (US government) are two separate products and journalists cannot seem to grasp the difference. Was Ukraine provided Starshield by the US? If so, what were the terms of the contract? Starlink cannot be used for targeting.
The question is whether Ukraine had a contract with the US to use Starshield or are they referring to standard Starlink? SpaceX has been very clear about the Terms of Service. Starlink was meant to be used for humanitarian efforts and battlefield communications.

@Inkfires2@InsideTheInsid1@AnatoliUkraine@JenGriffinFNC@grok He gave them Starlink service for free for several years until the Starshield contract. Yes, terminals were purchased by others, but he gave them the service for free. The Starshield contract in 2024 was widely-reported to improve military comms, not for strikes.
@WallStreetMav Europe is about five years behind in technology and they do not have the capability to launch these satellites at the pace required. It’s faux drama to make Europe appear less dependent.
@InsideTheInsid1@Inkfires2@AnatoliUkraine@JenGriffinFNC@grok Starshield is a top-secret encrypted version of Starlink that is used by the US for military applications. If the US has allowed them to use it, then what were the terms? Starlink was given to them at the onset of the war for humanitarian purposes, not for military.
@MrJoKeR604 Starlink was intended to help with the humanitarian side of the war. Zelenskyy used it in ways it was not intended. Starshield is an encrypted military application using the same satellites. If Ukraine has a contract for Starshield, we need to see the terms.
Rallis needs to continue mixing things up, creating pressure and avoid his tendency to rush four and play a soft zone. There’s talent on the defense, but the DL is not adequate for a JG/Rallis-style defense. Normally teams are excited to play against the Cards D. Havoc can change that.
@InsideTheInsid1@Inkfires2@AnatoliUkraine@JenGriffinFNC@grok Starshield not Starlink. There’s a difference between the two although they use the same satellites. Starshield has classified encryption protocols for military applications. Any reporting otherwise is an attempt to confuse the public.
@Inkfires2@AnatoliUkraine@JenGriffinFNC@grok Again, if it’s Starlink, it cannot be used for military use. If it’s Starshield it can be used in a limited military role defined by the terms defined in any contract with the US government.
@Inkfires2@AnatoliUkraine@JenGriffinFNC@grok Starshield is not Starlink. Starshield is a secure, encrypted, US government application utilizing the same satellites. Apparently people cannot comprehend the difference. Starshield is limited-use, fully controlled by the US government. There was never a “full access” contract.
@EricLDaugh Zelenskyy is simply creating turmoil to try to impact the election. The Democrats made financial assurances in the case of them taking the House. With the Senate, and its tight margins, it will be easier for them to flip a few Rs in their favor.
