1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press

Europe’s enemy is its own comfort addiction. The EU was built for prosperity management, not survival strategy. That’s why war feels conceptually off-brand. Yet the post-1945 delusion (economics alone keeps peace) has collapsed. A new identity, a Europe that defends itself, must replace it. #russia

Starlink’s role in Ukraine is critical, easing anxieties while alternatives remain far behind. But Europe mustn’t use this as an excuse to delay investment - 000s more satellites, lower orbits, and more advanced tech are needed. Future resilience depends on it. #starlink #eutelsat #oneweb #ukraine
