This really should have happened shortly after the war began.
Then again discussions may have taken place, and the geopolitical consideration were (and are) massively complex. The level of aid that other countries, especially the US, were providing was a delicate balance especially in the beginning. Providing a resource of highly strategic usefulness under the fig leaf of it coming from a private US corp may have been deemed necessary. But at some point it’s unreasonable of the DoD not to foot the bill. After many many $Billions of lethal support the fig leaf has been torn off.

I completely understand any reasonable apprehension or general delay when on one side of the table you have Elon Musk who shows such little reverence for the integrity of the union (i.e. pissing his half assed thoughts in all our mouths about work and devotion) and on the other side you have the most powerful military force or bag of money. It probably took a while for trust to be established. I’m glad it’s happening. No notes. Go Ukraine.
- ineedasername 3y agoYes…? I think I mostly agree with that having been a potential consideration. But that point can coexist with the point I made in my comment as well.
