In pretty much all aspects of life, you gotta be careful presenting ultimatums. People might not respond with the answer you hoped.

- phillipseamore 1y agoAlso strange to propose that there are only two options when Europe already has it's own up and running GEO and LEO satellite systems. It's not choosing US or China, it's chosen to expand their own systems. (I wouldn't be surprised that Brendan Carr simply doesn't know what European options are available)
- tough 1y agoWhat's even funnier is that the actual upsell is of Musk's Starlink, lmao
- rsynnott 1y agoAlso, like, satellite simply isn’t _that_ important comms-wise. And European companies are huge in terrestrial and especially cellular. This is actually an area of vulnerability for the US; unless it adds yet another tariff carve out or scraps the tariffs, it’s likely to have cellular infra issues.
- beloch 1y agoIt's a false choice fortunately. The EU doesn't have to choose between a totalitarian state and a crumbling democracy that is currently threatening to invade and seize the territory of a EU member nation. They can, and should, choose their own products or those of other reliable and friendly trading partners around the globe.
