Summary
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for respect among allies after a heated exchange between U.S. and Polish officials over Ukraine’s reliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio rebuked Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski for suggesting Ukraine might need an alternative provider, calling him “ungrateful.”
Musk dismissed concerns and insisted Starlink would not be shut off after threatening to do so.
Meanwhile, speculation about a Starlink replacement caused a surge in Eutelsat’s stock.
Yeah the only “allies” the us leadership wants is Putin and maybe Winnie the Pooh. The new axis of stupid. Fuck this country.
It’s crazy how the US simultaneously wants the world to depend on them while also treating them like second class Allies. But the moment those allies say it’s not worth it and try to form other alliances, the US calls them ungrateful and cries. If you’ve ever seen or been in a abusive relationship, this is what it looks like on a nation to nation situation

Donald Tusk has to be a difficult name to have in this tineline.
His name was universally hated in Poland way before the cheeto man. All this bullshit and how he handled it actually rehabilitated him in lots of people’s eyes.
Comming next: Donald Mramp!
Was it actually a US-Poland spat?
I thought it was just Musk running his mouth on Twitter as per.
If that’s the case I think it’s a dangerous game for the wider world to conflate Musk’s actions with the US as a whole
Edit: Seems like it was also US official/s taking part. What a wonderful world we live in 🙃
It was both Musk and Marco Rubio - the “adult in the room” Secretary of State so yeah, it looks like an official stance of the US government.
Oh, in that case I take it back.
God, I hate this timeline!
Not sure what you mean. Everybody knows Musk is the actual President, Trump is just a puppet.
Puppetrump
Every time I see the words Secretary of State Marco Rubio I almost do a spit take.
I can only imagine what happens when you see the words, President of the United States Donald Trump.
Your dry cleaning bill must be astronomical.
You forgot the “J.” DOGE will be efficiencizing you shortly…

I’m sorry…Donald tusk?
I wonder if the name Donald will have a sharp decline in popularity (not that it has ever been a popular name) as a result of his brutish authoritarianism the way that the name Adolf did after World War II.
Yeah; Latvia needs to elect an Elon Mump next….
PM of Poland.
I guess many Americans haven’t heard of him, which is odd given Poland is the first bastion against Russia and a very strong US ally. Well was anyway.
My polish knowledge starts and stops at ‘kurwa bober’
You know everything there is to know. If you also admit that Maria Curie-SKŁODOWSKA was Polish and concentration camps German, then we can grant you the title of honorary Pole… But please for the love of God… DO NOT confuse the two.
