   @nicol WTF is going on with private companies taking orders from this clown?? Surely there's some violation of fiduciary duty when they tank the international market for their services.

     USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?

     I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:

     If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.

     Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.
