Actually, Ukraine said they would have lost already without starlink.

  Hardly, Starlink has had some impact on Ukraine but not nearly that much. They have called it “critical” but they call a great many things critical, the actual use of Starlink still isn’t that common. The important bit for Ukrainian is Starlink is subsidized by other countries and it reduces the incentives for Russia to destroy communication infrastructure. Unfortunately because Russia is focusing less on communication infrastructure they get to focus more on other targets.

      A few of those people do, but it’s a minority opinion. People say same seriously crazy shit about the Ukraine war, but the ground truth is fairly pedestrian as far as recent wars go.
