- Well, this story is about disconnecting Starlink ground terminals that are being used by the Russian military inside of Ukraine.
  
  This will upset patriot musk won’t it?
But, Starlink terminals have GPS in them, surely? Aren't they geofenced anyway?
- They're using them in Ukraine. Can't geofence the country and still allow the Ukrainians to use them.
  
  They could geogence crimea. But Elon refuses to because he wants the fascist to win.
  
  You don't need to draw the fence along a national border, but yeah, I guess the front is a bit flexible.
  
  So if they can isolate the russian starlink terminals... and they have gps.. sounds like targeting coordinates for ukrainians to me.
