Reply to comment by CaptainC0medy in European Union strikes €6bn deal to develop own broadband satellite network by Sorin61

add up the money, sounds like the EU is spending 6 billion to provide the same service Musk already is (will be overtime/overbudget just like those shitty french subs, and probably not even be as reliable as starlink (Ironically they will be paying Elon to send up their satellites lmao). What a huge waste of money, especially after the EU caused this war by funding Russia.

Wtf are you talking about.

Go here:

Not even going through all countries but that alone is 16bn.

Musk is just sending some satellites over and black mailed them for money when he started being a dick

lol that graph shows they are doing abysmally nothing for Ukraine, thank god for the USA. Spineless EU will fuck over all eastern european countries

For Americans : The US has given over 50 Billion in comparison to support the war the EU caused.

In comparison to EU's generous coats to the Ukranians theyve sent 60 billion to Russia thus far and about a trillion over the last decade

Not built for Ukraine. What's your point?

Elon is South African.

this really shows how out of the loop you are in this world. You really think the US lets foreign nationals work on critical tech?

You just have to google it.

First 17 years in pretoria, he just has US citizenship, that just means foreign national with US citizenship.

youre so dumb. he is a us citizen, that makes him American. We arent as xenophobic as you

CaptainC0medy t1_ix5cnv5 wrote

That doesn't make him a US national.

I have citizenship for a country I've never been to, doesn't mean I'm a national from that country.

well citizenship is required to work on space tech, and Elon is a citizen

Not the fucking point!

My wife is from another country and got citizenship within 7 years, she's not suddenly the same national as me.

She works on military contracts.

also if you read the my first comment before you responded, the EU should be matching US's contribution at the least!

I don't disagree, but it's not simple when you are dependent on their energy.

ive never said a positive thing about Russia in my life while the EU has donated them > a trillion over the decade. Seems like the EU was getting them ready for genocide

By that reasoning I am asking my local grocery store to commit genocide every time I 'donate' them money.

Your perspective and reasoning is as ridiculous as the above sounds. You might as well admit you are getting paid by Russia to put these troll comments up on a public forum.
