1. >Two NATO-nation intelligence services suspect Russia is developing a new anti-satellite weapon to target Elon Musk’s Starlink constellation with destructive orbiting clouds of shrapnel, with the aim of reining in Western space superiority that has **helped Ukraine on the battlefield**.

   Intelligence findings seen by The Associated Press say the so-called “zone-effect” weapon would seek to flood Starlink orbits with hundreds of thousands of high-density pellets, potentially disabling multiple satellites at once but also risking catastrophic collateral damage to other orbiting systems.

2. Why would they target a personal ally in an allied country?

3. Pft

4. That weapon is codenamed, Elon Musk.

5. Tulsi Gabbard yelling at staff for promoting propaganda…/s

6. Shhhh

7. Even with the most “Musk-positive” and pro-Ukraine article, people in the comment section are still going to pipe the “Musk is a Russian agent” garbage. Starlink has been revolutionary for the armed forces of Ukraine and that is one of the many reasons the kremlin wishes to target it. It is time we moved on from that “Musk agent” standpoint and accept the allies who benefit and save Ukrainian lives.

   Let the downvotes begin.

8. I saw a Russian drone the other day with one attached to the fucking top of it!

9. Another international agreement the russians spit on. When even the US during the cold war was like “nah lets not blow up satelites” you know that it’s a terrible idea

10. So we’ll bankrupt them harder this time around?

11. Like we’ve not got weapons that can target theirs

12. That weapon’s name : Elon

    They’ll just ask him to turn them off as needed
