It would benefit a budding satellite ISP to suddenly have a critical “land line“ in an active war zone severed and their long term sustainability questioned.

Are you implying that starlink cut the cable or am I misunderstanding you?

Not Starlink directly of course, but a state or entity who will mutually benefit. Given Elon's recent public statements, I don't think I need to specify who.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Never heard of this before, but what we both say can be true at the same time.

Well the bit about bin laden and alqueda is certainly true to my knowledge. The government will only admit to funding the Taliban, not alqueda, but they are on record contributing quite a bit to one of the highest ranking members in alqueda, and its hard to imagine things don't get messy when you start delivering weapons to guerillas.

Bin laden is certainly true - it is documented properly and no one denies it. Funding ISIS seems to be a hoax though. Will be happy to be corrected.
