Felon Trump, Witkoff and Musk reached a joint decision to throttle StarLink, StarShield protections for #Ukraine because they wanted to punish #Ukraine and do a favor for war criminal Putin, who was preparing a nice gift bag for each of them... They then proceeded to lie profusely about what they did.

IN WASHINGTON LAST week’s move to cut Ukrainian drones’ connections
I to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, might have seemed like a
diplomatic warning. In Ukraine it was felt on the battlefield. In a single sortie,
one unit saw $1m-worth of drones fall from the sky after limits were imposed on any that flew faster than 160kph. By October 22nd some links were functioning again without speed limits, according to Ukrainian commanders.
No one in Trump’s admin admits to making the decision. It appears to have come from a small circle around the president, Mr Musk and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to Russia. Reports suggest Mr Musk wanted to punish Ukraine for striking Russian refineries. One official says he contacted the White House only after imposing the restrictions. Musk has a complicated relationship with Ukraine. In 2022 he used a similar mechanism to stop a naval drone attack near Crimea. He has frequently railed against President Volodymyr Zelensky. But his decision to provide satellite connectivity in the first days of the war was critical to Ukraine’s survival. One insider insists Mr Musk is sympathetic to Ukraine, “though you do get the impression that Putin sometimes gets to him first.”

Trump treason must be punished. ruSSia is a terrorist state.
