New worries for Zelensky after the apparent loss of US intel, now there are questions about the future use of Starlink.
Trump did stop US intel being given to Ukraine before but just for a few days before things returned to normal, but now Ukraine’s use of Musk's internet system is also being questioned, the loss of which would be devastating for the Ukrainian war effort.
The concerns might have arisen because of Zelensky's plea to be allowed to use Starlink over Russia. This would coincide with Zelensky's claim to having a new ballistic missile capability arriving soon.
It is doubtful that Ukraine is able to produce ballistic missiles themselves and Europe is the more likely source.
The real problem is that Zelensky is completely demented and has no understanding of the serious danger of escalating when you don't have escalation dominance.
Zelensky has kept escalating throughout the conflict in the hope it would trigger the west to get directly involved but all that happened was Russia escalating in response making Ukraine suffer even more.
With Starlink over Russia and ballistic missiles Zelensky will fire them straight into Moscow (“to bring the war to the Russian people”) and damn the consequences.
And then the Russians, who do have escalation dominance, will respond, quite possibly with tactical nuclear weapons, why not?
The US would then be faced with a situation well beyond anyone's control.
And so if little Zelensky gets his hands on ballistic missiles there must be no chance of him using Starlink for targeting them. Ukraine commanders are already complaining that Starlink over Ukraine has started to be speed limited, as in degrading the ability to use their first person view cameras on their fast moving objects.
So far Ukraine’s targeting has been controlled by the CIA and the Europeans with their respective satellite data input, but given the rhetoric coming out of Europe lately the US should be cautious of them too.
