Yeah, that's for Starshield, not Starlink. The US military can use Starshield for whatever they like, it's controlled by them and paid for by them. I'm not sure why the US government would expect a private company to let a foreign military use it's infrastructure for military purposes based on their foreign policy? How is US foreign policy relevant to Starlink? I could understand if the US had declared war on Russia and wanted to take control of the satellites for their own use due to legitimate national security needs, but expecting a foreign military to be able to do that? It's stupid and doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny. A lot of chips on shoulders about Musk though as we know, trying to pretend it's anything other than because of his personal political views.

Ukraine is an ally of the US and an ally of NATO.

Musk was not on a military contract when he refused the Crimea request; he’d been providing terminals to Ukraine for free in response to Russia’s February 2022 invasion. However, in the months since, the U.S. military has funded and officially contracted with Starlink for continued support. The Pentagon has not disclosed the terms or cost of that contract, citing operational security.

Elon Musk's refusal to have Starlink support Ukraine attack in Crimea raises questions for Pentagon

SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions for the Pentagon.

His personal political beliefs and his use of his social media company to influence elections is just a small part of it. He has shown himself to be a massive douche on numerous occasion in the last few years. His erratic behaviour would have me seriously concerned if I were in the US military/government.

His excuse of Russia could launch nukes shows he either isn't rational or it was just an excuse he used and his motives were something else.
 
These people are urgently training for their and their countrymans lives, it's frankly embarrassing behaviour from the NIMBYs and that the Govt kowtowed to them.

Because of "sensitive souls" on this forum who cannot seem to tolerate any differing of opinion...I preface my comments saying that I don't like musk..

It seems clear to me that either musk had the right to perform his actions under what he owns...in which case whatever, private owner private usage...(unless people are saying private property is government property in which case I hope you get sent to a gulag).

Or per your link

He breached a pentagon contract and in which case I would rightfully expect that he is going to be dragged over hot coals and will face full sanctions which I would happily support.

Not sure why people making such a big deal?

Why not just grow a pair of balls and tell them to stop whining and STFU?

Assuming the noise is normal then yes they should stfu and be told to stop wasting official time.

If it's a marked difference than usual in usage in terms of volume, time of day and equipment used then I would have more sympathy. The article suggested the house was shaking which sounds a bit unusual. Probably just NIMBYs but wouldn't dismiss out of hand.

Literally... don't live next to a firing range.

Next... trains in major cities must go as commuters say they are too noisy and can't record their tiktoks.

Edit: I live in the flight path for philly airport. I don't complain about the low flying aircraft and noise.

Have you tried shouting at the planes as they go past?

No way it's bunker boy. I bet his cheeks look bit puffy and he's smiling and shaking hands in the pictures.

The real Putin looks like a gaunt hermit now.

He's secure in his bunker, eating cakes and shouting nonsensical orders for army units that no longer exist, whilst nervously petting his dog, Blondi.

Alan Smart, 63, who lives next to the firing range, called for the 150-year-old military base to be shut down. “I say close it. The explosions are very noisy indeed. They make the windows rattle. It’s murder — I hate living here but the trouble is we rent,” he said.
