    We know that DoD is paying for Starlink service in Ukraine, but there are no public details of the contract. Not sure how paying for a service is a subsidy.

    “Opposing Autocracy” is an interesting choice of words, since everyone who’s up in arms about this is implying that the government should force a private company to participate in any war on whatever terms they dictate. Freedom isn’t easy, sometimes people and companies do stuff you don’t like, but I we want a working democracy you have to give them that liberty or else loose your own eventually.

      The law notes that fighting for an enemy engaging in hostilities v the United States is treason. If (and its a big if) we found Russia was engaging in hostilities v us, fighting on the opposite side would potentially apply.
