Not that the leftie HN voters appreciate it, of course, sigh.

You'd think it'd be obvious why the owner of a highly vulnerable yet massively redundant satellite constellation wouldn't want his assets used in a war anyway. Ukraine should thank their lucky stars that Starlink can be used by them at all. Given the risk of space war triggering Kessler Syndrome, it would be entirely within the bounds of reason to just deny both sides use of it entirely.
