If Poland had been immediately and fully supported in defense against the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact by the WW1 allies would WW2 have happened? Or would it have been effectively aborted?
Yep. What this shows is that Musk fears "world war", and this is a fear that Russia can exploit.
I stated elsewhere that we could offer Russia Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for Putin. It would be a win for Russia (which is otherwise sacrificing thousands of Russian lives). But as long as Putin is in charge you know it would never happen.
Musk's entire save humanity speal is about enforcing an end to nuclear war (not the sun in 400 million years)
That's why he started SpaceX with Mike Griffin, who offered a technological solution to the problem (global missile defense), which is finally being realized with StarShield
The weird thing is that I believe Starlink has advertised its military constellation as being able to hop onto the main Starlink constellation as well. How does that work with this new rule for Starlink? Or Musk reserves the right to chose which operations he personally wants to veto?
> Starshield spacecraft will also be interoperable with other satellites that are equipped with the laser-communications terminal that Starlink craft use, the page adds.
I'd still disagree but be a little more sympathetic to blanket statement of "We don't want our technology used offensively"
To recap, his previous statements show his stance is we should give Putin what he wants to stop the war. Also he has said Taiwan should be like Hong Kong, among other effusive praise for China.

We have now shown that "The West" has no backbone.
What is to prevent Russia from using the same playbook again while moving further west?

Problem is only those with Asperger's believe it would actually work.
1. What has Starlink actually banned in Ukraine?
2. How does use of Starlink escalate the conflict?
