This one’s been cycling through the news as of late. Don’t mistake me for someone who is an Elon Musk fan. Not the case at all. I’m just not a fan of spin, misrepresentation and bullshit.

This non existent service is alleged to have covered Crimea, which is Russian territory.
Crimean citizens voted to join Russia. In a referendum. Remember?
As reported, everywhere, in 2014
Some 95.5% of voters in Crimea have supported joining Russia,officials say, after half the votes have been counted in a disputed referendum.
Crimea's leader says he will apply to join Russia on Monday. Russia’s Vladimir Putin has said he will respect the Crimean people’s wishes.

Can’t disconnect what is not connected
Making this whole story an exercise in bullshit and distraction. But why? Because the Ukrainian counter offensive is going nowhere. And a distraction from this reality is needed and desired.So, it's created.
