World News Musk suggested Trump restrict Ukraine's Starlink service, Telegraph reports
It's just as I suspected. Musk suggested to Trump that he order the speed of Ukraine's Starlink service to be heavily reduced so that Ukraine's ongoing war and humanitarian efforts would be be effectively shut down, and rendered incapable of supporting their efforts to protect Ukrainian airspace and civilian centers, and engage in missions against Russian forces.
Musk brought that idea to Trump, and encouraged him to give the greenlight for the service interruption. And Trump did just that without warning. The result was Ukraine's sudden inability to protect civilians and ground operations from Russian attacks, and the deaths of a number of civilians and soldiers. A mission that was currently taking place also had to stop and turn around because they lost their ability for real-time control of the drones, and the ability to controlling weapons systems.
Russia appears to have been tipped off about the pending service failure because their drones and aircraft were waiting for it to happen so they could take out the Ukrainian air assets. Several drones and support aircraft were destroyed as they lost connectivity. They essentially became sitting ducks. In my view, this is treasonous behavior by both Trump and Musk. Ukraine is our ally, but Trump and Musk are apparently colluding with Putin behind the scenes to thwart Ukraine's war efforts, and help Russia (or enemy) defeat Ukraine (our ally).
This is a true scandal, and investigations into this situation, and Trump and Musk's ongoing conspiracy with Russia to hurt Ukraine and the Ukrainian people must be undertaken with vigor once the Democrats take control of Congress at the beginning of next year. This treachery cannot stand. And it can't be swept under the rug. We've apparently got a private billionaire making operational military decisions that are specifically intended to harm our ally, Ukraine, in service to America's greatest adversary.
And we've got a president whose nihilism, and narcissistic obsession with dismissing any concerns about the consequences of his actions, renders him ineligible to continue serving as President. The man is a transactional, mercurial, narcissistic megalomaniac who doesn't give two shits about the people who bear the weight of his actions. And when he sees blowback after he takes action, he rushes off to hide, claiming he wasn't responsible, and bears no blame.
What a coward. He takes all the credit while rejecting all the responsibility. That's who's leading our country straight into Hell.
