Russia already has the ability to do everything Starlink provides, the difference is it is a bit more convenient. So saying something like this:

Russia cannot be given StarLink.

Is weird and acting like Starlink is some kind of cold-war superweapon that we have to keep from Russia makes no sense.

No, it makes perfect sense to say, "someone gaining billions over here should not be allowed to profit from helping the enemy."

Why is the concept of treason so fucking hard for people to understand?! "You mad someone's helping a horrible person doing horrible things?" ... YES!!! Why the FUCK aren't you?!
