- hardkorebob 3y agoyawn33333 good nite thanks for playing dfc. No one over here feels superior to anyone. Again more assuming non intelligence demonstrated. With great power comes great responsibility. He hasn't demonstrated any of that.
- maxlin 3y agoThis man is NOT REAL!! HE'S NOT THERE !!!
- hardkorebob 3y agoNothing is real because it is all temporary but it is all certainly true.
- panick21_ 3y ago> I am not ashamed to say you are truly a nonhuman. You should be.
- hardkorebob 3y agoThanks for the advice.
- wmf 3y agoNot terribly surprising given that Gaza is legally part of Israel. AFAIK the only place where Starlink is operating illegally is Iran (where presumably Elon has no business interests that can be threatened).
- __blockcipher__ 3y agoYou mean legally part of Israel from Israel’s perspective, right? AFAIK neither the west bank nor the gaza strip are recognized as legitimate territories of Israel under international law but I admittedly know very little about international law :)
- anonuser123456 3y agoIn international relations, possession by a nuclear power is 10/10ths of the law.
- vidarh 3y agoIsrael explicitly rejects Gaza is part of Israel. Some Israeli politicians might claim otherwise, but the government policy has been to refuse claims it is since '67, and to now insist it's not even under occupation.
- wodenokoto 3y agoThe Oslo accord gives Israel right to control the airspace, but also gives the pale stone the right to operate an airport. So the accord does not give Israel sovereignty over the land. Israel denies that they are occupying the strip, so it’s hard to say that even Israel is claiming it as legally theirs.
- wodenokoto 3y agoOkay, so why doesn't it?
- vidarh 3y agoWhy doesn't who what?

- maxlin 3y agoThis whole article should be pulled. It's (possibly intentionally) just inventing lies on key issues. "However, he admitted that he turned off internet access from his Starlink satellites during a Ukrainian raid last year on a Russian naval fleet." This is horseshit. The geoblocks those the boats just careened in to were in place for a long time before, and limited to not allow access in Russia due to US sanctions! What Elon was asked to do, was to break the regulations his company is working beneath to create a major new offensive, against the then-current mindset of how US supplied Ukraine in long-term capabilities. Elon said explicitly that if it actually came through the proper channels, and not some random Ukrainian source, he would absolutely have made an exception and opened up those then-closed areas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKqJ5-kkUGk&t=433s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKqJ5-kkUGk&t=433s
- iudqnolq 3y agoEven Elon's strongest defenders must admit he explicitly says all sorts of things that turn out not to be true. His statements aren't strong evidence either way. There's no clear evidence when the geoblock went into place, we only know the date the Ukrainians first tried to use it. The geoblock included Ukrainian waters, so the sanctions argument can't be true
- maxlin 3y agoJust no. There's no reason to believe the situation isn't how it's stated. It's been written about how the Starlink geoblocks are quite notably _on_ the frontlines on ground, sometimes even to the ire of Ukranian operations when they move deeper. Logically it is not just to avoid Russians using it, but also because the Starlink service actually was never given to Ukraine to be used as an offensive weapon, which they continuously of course violated even while being donated terminals & service out of Elon's good will before DoD moved a muscle to help fund them. There's 0% chance for a location in as deep as Crimea that it wouldn't have been blocked at the time. Why keep pushing a wholly inverted view as if the blocks were somehow TURNED ON just as the Ukranian attack ships were moving in? The only thing one can reasonably think of being behind that skew is the persistent misinformation war against Musk as it not just goes against his word but common logic.
