Editor's note:
Regarding the use of Starlink satellites (internet connection) made by the Ukrainians army, I find it regrettable that Mr. Elon Musk has recently taken the decision to restrict the internet connection on the pretext that it will be used to target their adversaries (the Russian army), as if E.M. realized that now, what hypocrisy when from the beginning Elon M, boasts of providing free internet access when he is paying and in addition paid by the Pentagon (command of the US army) from the beginning. I knew Mr. Musk has asperger's syndrome, I didn't know he was also bipolar.
