We cant know for sure even starlink capabilitys, because Musk is hugely involved with DOD / pentagon ...and get`s also payed i suppose.
Cant rule out political theatrics totally out either .
I also think that if they would know about incoming catastrophe , like asteroid .....they would not say it , to avoid public panic . But this is not that case...but just saying ...us peasants dont need to know allways whats going on .
I had to think on this for a spell.
There is great theoretical potential in the idea of a threat in that domain. But I can't reconcile attending facts about "Russia" and a threat of this kind. Don't get me wrong, there is a hell of a lot wrong with their government (like there isn't with ours, right?) But considering the general obsession of world leaders for that ephemeral thing they call "Winning!" ... how would Russia "win" this way?
Granted, they would (in theory) secure a means to ensure they enjoy a persistent presence on the internet (which is good for them.) But it hardly seems to make for an announcement akin to "The sky is falling!" for the United States.
Or am I missing something in the equation?
