It is really important Europe develops and/or improves its own satellite systems, gps-systems, cloud systems, weapons systems etc. We wouldn't use Russian systems. Then why would we use stuff from Russia's closest ally?
Regulations would give EU-based IT room to scale up.
We already have the EU Galileo-system, more accurate than GPS, and changing back to its initial frequency (US got angry over this) it can't be jammed without also jamming US GPS.
The only good thing I see with this Trump mess is that Europe finally grasp that they need to get together. US is in free fall, which gives a lot of possibilities for Europe to step up to be a leading player again.
This is unconscionable, inhumane, barbaric, not understandable in any reality...who are the henchmen surrounding trumpty dumpty pushing for such war crimes?

SOMETHING TO TAKE NOTE OF: A man named Alex Karp wrote his dissertation on how to get people to commit atrocities using culture & jargon-wrote a Stanford paper on same subject inc charts & graphs- found a Co (PALANTIR) that sells survellince-weapons-genocide to dictators & despots a/r the world &..
has Haliburton & Netanyahu & US Gov clients-provides Ukraine w/everything from drones to survellince to AI-has close ties to Musk Thiel & bad guys a/r the world & works directly w/ my handler since 93 Marcel de Jong (Autodesk Nvidia Pixar) who neuralinks & traffics victims to AI labs! My point is ..
After working 4 State 90 they took me in London straight frm Heathrow & placed me in Salisbury near Porton Down for trippy drug testing (SCL Robert Mercer) & Gower across frm (UCL deepmind LLM's) & upon return 93 gave me handler who worked w/Karp for decades to dev interface LLM's for weaponized AI!
KARP IS SCREWING OVER UKRAINE FOR RUSSIA.. JUST LIKE STARLINK..THESE GUYS USE TROJAN HORSES..LIKE..FOR EVERYTHING.. AND NOT FOR NOTHING THEY ALSO DRUG & RAPE THEIR VICTOMS WITH DOGS & HORSES B/C THEIR SECRET NAZI TAKE OVER THE WORLD HE MAN WOMAN HATERS CLUB IS FULL OF SICK DISGUSTING GROSS MAN FKS!
The things thez men did to me o/v decades takes juice! & as I see it politucal mafiosa juice! Not only did they murder my sister- make sure i attended UCSD & worked 4 State-kidnap me on foreign soil in England & give me a Pixar Tech bro software eng who designed drones & liked 2 rape as a handler...
they were able to keep me poor- quiet-drugged-arrested-isolated-institutionalized(access to law enforcement'drugs-military so no fighting back) & working under a doggy-dom handler Marcel de Jong of Autodesk camera drone who kept me working using rape intimidation & threat & works w/Musk Thiel Karp!
@NYSEG is doing this to NYS right now. Charging double & triple tge price they did 2 months ago. And saying it’s not them, it’s the supplier! Then if it’s not you why aren’t you saying who to contact? Why didn’t you WARN IS? Why are you gaslighting us & saying it’s the new digital meyers & they
…measure electric better now. So prices went up.That they “count every receptacle in ur house & charge you per outlet plugged into anything”(on or off). It’s excuses & lies COMING FROM THEIR REPS. It’s dirty & we can’t afford our electric anymore. Now what do we do? I don’t have $300 mo for electric
Is there a European company that can step in. As the french senator said yesterday: Us in Europe need complete strategic autonomy. It can’t go fast enough
Starlink will probably be next. If Musk breaks the Starlink contract with Poland, I hope that the entire world will never make another deal with them. His entire revenue will be US government funding.
Anyone know if there are good alternatives to Maxar from Europe or other western-allied nations? Who can Ukraine turn to for near-live satellite imagery instead?
MAXAR GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS
1300 W 120th Avenue
Westminster, CO 80234
The next target is Maxar, write email get on social media and hound them for abandoning a country fighting for its survival against two psychotic men the felon and his boss putin. They are on X, FB, Linkedin, IG, and Youtube.
They are HELPING Putin the war criminal! The criminal that poisons anyone that tries to run against him or exercises free speech! Kidnaps children by the thousands! This will be us if we are not careful. These people have no respect for innocent lives including American citizens!
tRUMPinsky is 78, weak, feeble & I suspect 'in ill health'. Wonder who the 'aspiring bully' is that thinks he'll step in when the 🍊💩 croaks, or becomes incapacitated? Nothing they are doing is legal, so I doubt it will be J.on D.oe Who. Musk? Certainly not the johnson. Is someone 'stronger' hiding?
Musk (already in regular contact with Putin) initially backed Desantis for president: had him on X, funded his campaign, … and Thiel backs Vance who is liked by nobody. This means imo the oligarchs think younger fascists will work as follow up, because of their cruelty and authoritarianism.
So, while certainly Vance or others are just as horrible as Trump if he were to die, you can be sure that MAGA would revolt against these men. Unless the christofascists are preparing for this, not unlike radio Milles Colines tactic: accusing dems of assassination. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_T%C3%A9l%C3%A9vision_Libre_des_Mille_Collines
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
Perfect time for Europe to strengthen their efforts. This regime has no desire to do any good at home in their own nation, what makes anyone think they would want to help others? Especially if it doesn't align with the Trump/Elon/Putin three-way love affair!
What Alexander says: “I now fully expect Starlink to be next.” Me too. Which would mean that not only the Starlink system that I have been funding for a clinic in Ukraine would also go offline, but all other systems used for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine too. My hope lies on 🇪🇺 OneWeb now ...
No law rules in US and no trust by former partners anymore. It looks like full totalitarian state capture will be finished soon. A total disaster and a generational tragedy for US citizens.
Allowing Elon and Starlink to control all aspects of American life is also not a wise move. He's in impetuous child who will cut off your services whenever he has a temper tantrum.
I said it during Trump 1: countries relying on the US for security are relying on a backup with a single point of failure, and that France, Germany, and Britain needed to create a new European security architecture to check russia.
Your country has fallen into complete fascism, and yet your streets are empty. There is a coup, and your military is fine with it. The people could launch a general strike to put a halt to this madness, but the couch or the TV show is too good…
2) in December, “(Eutelsat) said it has now ‘ended all involvement in the broadcast’ of three Russian propaganda channels and ceased all broadcasts related to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), a state-controlled media company.”
We know all this. The Diderot Committee is at the origin, with RSF, of the decision of Arcom in December 2022, and at the origin of the questions during the last Eutelsat General Assemblies. Arguing that the rules are unclear is of perfect bad faith. Please visit our website : https://denisdiderot.net
It seems the Ukrainians have been working on a backup plan in the event of a suspension of Starlink access. Trump claims to have all the cards but as he plays them one by one and Ukraine still survives, his moral bankruptcy will lead to political impotence in transatlantic affairs.
That is exactly why we (EU) can no longer rely on any (especially sensitive like on this example) technology originating from US and must develop our own substitutes as quickly as possible. That, on the other hand, may boost industry in EU countries that e.g. Poland may benefit from.
I thought this would happen, this has far reaching consequences: We cannot rely on:
- US software
- Most servers are in the US
- Military equipment
- Pretty much all forms of economic integration that can be used as blackmail.
This damages US companies severely and way beyond Trumps presidency
Yes, if there is a way trump can blackmail people, then he will find it and use it. Just look at Canada and Mexico, jumping through hoops to serve trump.
Imagine what it’s costing countries in GDP not to mention completely ignoring the planet ecological meltdown that we are facing losing 15 years of attention to Trump
This is game over for most US companies selling anything of strategic importance in Europe if not the world. The USA is officially pushing the EU into becoming a political, economic and military rival. By doing so it has undermined its own prosperity for years to come.
The question is what are you, The People, doing about it? At this rate you may as well kiss and make up with King Charles III and have a proper, bona fide King. At least you'd have a functioning democracy again. Tea might become a little dearer though.
We will ban them in Europe - this is to risky for our social health to take fakes from X and FB and YT - we will make them with European algorithms only - not nazi-american one
we need to write off the US and get the fuck away from as many US products as we can.. They are not in Europe's interest anymore... And especially US tech companies
There will be some international customers during the time it takes to build rservices in more reliable democracies but after that the US has to rely on the BRICSUS market.
So not only is the Trump Administration not aiding Ukraine any longer it appears it’s actively undermining Ukraine by pressuring the commercial sector to cut off resources as well.
This is another - in a string - of wake up calls to European buyers - Trump seeks to weaponise anything and everything to achieve his brutish aims. All of us - individuals, companies and states - should work to replace US suppliers wherever and as fast as possible
Europe had better make plans to manage their own satellite networks. The US is a capricious and wholly unreliable ally.
tRump's actions are aiding and abetting the reestablishment of the Soviet Union.
How much more traitorous than that can you get?
Maxar is owned by Advent International - an American global private equity firm.
Another example of the rich and powerful, controlling geopolitical outcomes.
Where does this end: e.g. what about AWS, GCP cloud deployments? Will they also be turned off at musk/trump's whim, to punish a non-compliant ex-ally?
Businesses which kowtow like this need to be boycotted outside the USA.
We're hearing that it's actually the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) that's responsible for the block. Any confirmation would be appreciated.
Only yesterday, at the EU summit, the line of thought seemed to be that Starlink wouldn't be affected because that was a 'commercial arrangement' with Poland. As though Trump couldn't put pressure on commercial companies!
Trump was responsible for hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths. Now he is responsible for the bloodshed of thousands more innocent Ukrainian lives. What a monster, what a gangster! Maybe he should not only sell Bibles, but also read them, this spawn of hell!
Everyone knows that Trump is behind this. He is so petty and tries to get back at anyone who makes him look bad. Trump doesn't need anybody to make him look bad because he does that all by himself.
It’s seems pretty clear…the felon and the sycophants in this regime side with russian and the continued invasion and will no longer support Ukraine’s sovereignty and an end to this war.
The US, and its subsidiaries, have now become Ukraine’s enemies.
Ukrainian media report that the American company Maxar Technologies is blocking access to satellite images. A call for honest reviews on Google Maps. #Ukraine #Maxar #SatelliteImagery
There is no service to Mocva, they will not provide, no betrayal too craven yo not undertake. The Bertsch swillers at 1600 are clinking and drinking their Wodka tonight
Ukraine should open criminal proceedings against private companies and management that try to help Putin. The European Union, Canada, Australia and Japan should comply with Ukrainian court decisions to confiscate those company assets and arresting decision makers who cooperate with Putin and Trump.
And the EU should do an end run around and get the info elsewhere or kick the company and the military base out. You want to help Putin? Get out of our country. The End.
Seems like trump wants Russia to take Ukraine. In just over a month, trump has managed to lose respect from the entire world for the US. A truly despicable coward.
What can be done to encourage #EU/ @ec.europa.eu/ @consilium.europa.eu / #UK/ #KeirStarmer/ #EmmanuelMacron for restoration of #MAXAR, or others, satellite coverage for #Ukraine #ArmedForces, by negotiating with or threatening legal action against, private companies (that provide cover for #Putin)?
"...the restriction was imposed under an order from...Trump's administration, with the State Dept allegedly prohibiting U.S. companies from providing satellite data to Ukraine"
If true, the "president" prohibiting private aid/assistance to an ally sounds like MORE TREASON.
We can not forget that cutting off access to intelligence with no warning is traitorous. Letting the Russians know makes Ukraine venerable. I believe Ukraine can move to other sources though it is clear Trump has aligned the US with Russia and that ends our relationship with NATO.
There should be legal action by Ukraine and recognized by Ukraine's allies in Europe and around the world against companies that undermine Ukrainian National Security. The action should include arresting assets and decision makers of those private companies in Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan.
Every death as a result of Trumps cutting off intelligence aid should be compensated by a million dollars sent to Ukraine by Trump and his tech billionaires
This will backfire. Europe will rise to the occasion. US research and science is being defunded, which of course is what had provided the talent ecosystem these companies are founded on. ML data sifters can’t take their place.
I’ve been raising hell for 9 years…very blue living in the very red. I still have no idea how this thing won when people knew exactly what he is. We have to be much smarter about this something is very wrong
I'm so old I worked with CORE during King & I marched with NOW for ERA in the 70s. I've fought for everyone's rights for 50 years. I'm ready for some of the younger generations to get off the social media + video games and start working hard at civics + education like I've done for a 1/2 century.
Yes, we're on our own. No party. Just We, the People.
I've never been a party. I'm also very specific about my ideals, which place me as a Lincoln Wide Awake who leans Federalist. I don't tend to bash liberals because even with mistakes, their hearts mean well, but this bunch in Congress ... NO GO.
you don't have a democracy with only 2 parties.. Then you just get a bunch of corrupt politicians that are in it for themselves... At least if they will have to cooperate to get in a position to govern you get a little check and balance on the corruption..
Also, the comment by you is just another complain & blame. I don't mean disrespect, but I'm honest. Yes, we have a democracy with two parties. If the People decide they want one party + the majority agrees, votes it in, and is satisfied, then it is still a democracy. # of parties doesn't define it.
We have a democracy as long as we get what the people ask for. Democracy is nothing but the system We, the People choose to represent us in place of a king or other authoritarian. Democracy is always democracy, no matter how We, the People establish it, because even the failure is of and by We.
How is this not treason? Trump is clearly giving aid to Putin via his crippling actions toward Ukraine. He is aggressively pursuing ways to hurt Ukraine.
The only hope if that since this would crash SpaceX valuation (as I can imagine a large part of starlink revenue comes from Ukraine), Elon would probably convince them not to.
"the administration of President Donald Trump, through the State Department, has banned American companies and commercial services from providing satellite data for Ukraine."
I am sure Europeans have satellites with similar capabilities. I would not be worried about this specific issue. There are other issues to worry about right now. I do want to see the response with asset freeze, sanctions and prosecution against Americans, until that happens Trump will not stop.
So the US government can no longer be trusted to honour its treaties, and US companies can no longer be trusted to fulfil their contracts. Mindless vandalism that can only lead to economic and political chaos. And the Republicans, the *conservative* party, march, cheering, toward the abyss. Madness.
US companies and US government could never be trusted. They’ve long been allowed to run roughshod over everyone and everything for the price of a campaign. I admire your optimism, though.
To the world: do not buy US products or services, they cannot be trusted. Especially anything from our robber barons. They will use your commitment as leverage.
every country through every channel should break contracts, cease trade, stop working with American govt and companies and impose as much pain upon the US until it wakes up
How to call government of the country where this is possible?
Where the Senate and ruling party behive as in the North Korea? It's president collaborates with enemy which declares years its hate.
The US are being experienced how swiftly the totalitarianism can be established. Dem.safeguards failed.
Absolutely betrayal of nation's values & past position as leaders of free world. Trump complicit w/ Russia's murderous attacks on Ukraine-sovereign democracy-victim of Russian invasion. Trump/Rubio/Ratcliffe responsible for every death.Our nation in shame. Get loud w/ your Republican Reps-no rest.
I will never use Starlink, first because of the light pollution, but seconds because of the "leadership" of the company. Iris2 and other solutions will be more interesting.
If this isn’t a war like act against Ukraine, and an a realignment with Russia wtf else would all you mealy mouthed useless idiots in our government call it! Why aren’t Patriots speaking out! Where’s our outrage!
I'm sure many future customers are now glad to know that access to this technology is highly unreliable and that they'll pre-emptively find other companies or nations to invest with.
I hope AWS is making lots off their US contracts, bc I don’t see how any other govt in the world would ever trust them (or any American tech company) again.

Well at least we can stop being bored by those saying the UK needs a written Constitution - the much-vaunted US one is no protection against an angry, aging Ego becoming President
Nope - that is not part of the legal framework of the UK. And it is just some ancient deal between a king & his barons in the era when most were serfs (=local slaves)
This isnt entirely correct, the Magna Carta still has some legal standing in the UK - but only just. It has mostly been superseded, but remains the basis of a number of modern laws.
Whether you ascribe inspiration to Magna Carta or not (dubious) it has no current legal standing in the UK in any part of the legal or constitutional framework that governs the population, and just glancing relevance to two largely irrelevant institutions
Any constitution is only worth something as long as people and institutions are willing to defend it. Otherwise it's just some lofty words written down.
Also, the UK was lucky so far. We have a system with far fewer constitutional checks and balances, and a Trump here could do far more damage!
If Johnson had been more like Trump when he was at the top of his powers (right after the prorogation of Parliament in 2019), he could've ignored the Supreme Court ruling, dismantled everything, and the opposition or indeed anyone else wouldn't stand a chance of stopping him.
Or, even better, after the election that year. The Tories were purged of all unclean elements, the media were drowning in jingoistic rhetoric, and the opposition was crushed. What could've stopped him back then if he were as crazy and determined as Trump is now?
To quote Lord Hailsham from 1976: "We live under an elective dictatorship, absolute in theory, if hitherto thought tolerable in practice." It seems an accurate description to me, if you strip out all conventions that an aspiring dictator would happily ignore.
Well there's a few reasons for this- people are treating the EPs as law- they aren't. The Supreme Court is stacked with Conservatives and are not that independent. The sheer chaos and number of EOs leaving people scrabbling to catch up
1. A mafia oligarchy kind of makes "sense" in Russia, but does it in America? Trump's trying to create one, but is it sustainable?
2. It’s not about him being an angry old idiot—he’s a criminal, a mafia/cartel boss. In my opinion, think less old age or Hitler/Stalin rhetoric and more Al Capone.
Sure, but power is like currency; it exists as long as people believe in it. If this small group of men enforces a system that clashes with the country's history, individualistic and egalitarian culture, and decentralised framework, it may not last. A backlash seems likely.
Also, we still have unelected monarchs as heads of state. This means we can chop off their heads for treason at a moments notice without having to wait 4 years for an election. That’s if elections are still a thing.
Now US technology and services vendors are as unreliable as US arms manufacturers. If MAGA is trying to cripple US exports, this seems an effective means.
I presume this will have an effect for years, even if rescinded later.
They're beyond redemption. Even if they somehow elect a normal president and government again, there's every chance it'll last 2 years at best before they get gridlocked again and elect another clown.
Tbh I'm looking forward to hearing less about them as they slide out of relevancy.
The world will route around us and we'll rightfully suffer for the damage we've done, for the villain we've become. It will take so much work to repair this damage and rebuild trust.

Also, the UK was lucky so far. We have a system with far fewer constitutional checks and balances, and a Trump here could do far more damage!
The UK has a strong party system - we have folk like George Galloway who might be candidates for the Trump/Chavez role, but the party rejects them
We have a test case with Farage & Reform - can he use that to drive to dominate UK Govt? I doubt it
Several countries with constitutions have ended up as fake democracies - they are no protection against the jailing of journalists and rivals
Re countries with constitutions being corrupted, sure, see my first response.
The US could be on route to being an oligarch mafia state like Russia - I hope that will not happen, but nothing so far suggests that I'm right
I think in the absence of a healthy society no constitution will do a scrap of good
The US one is byzantine - more often preventing good things than preventing bad
2. It’s not about him being an angry old idiot—he’s a criminal, a mafia/cartel boss. In my opinion, think less old age or Hitler/Stalin rhetoric and more Al Capone.
Trump might well blow himself up - he is definitely not entirely rational
