Starlink helps Ukraine and that’s okay to me

Helps them up to a point. He didn't allow Ukrainians to use it in Crimea for example, which shows allegiance to Russia more than anything else.

Use it in Russian occupied Crimea? Were you born yesterday?

He could just not let them use starlink at all. Ask any Ukrainian and they'll tell you how invaluable it has been to them yet here we are still doing mental gymnastics about how he's a Russian asset. I get that you don't like the guy but this is just ridiculous.
