      Europe is committed to it’s own sattelite network, but I think the first launch is scheduled for 2029. Pretty much the entire world is scrambling to get away from entanglements in US system, including payments separate from Visa / Mastercard and weaponry without a lick of US intellectual property.

      Weirdly just before seeing this I saw a thread in reddit claiming Ukraine already replaced it. Looking back at it though it only links to a YouTube video so it’s probably nonsense.

          Nah, United Nations, in a group where historically defined countries do NOT have veto power. It’s a global ressource, so it should be under global control.

          Europe is not a country.

          Also having the EU run startlink for Ukraine seems like a terrible idea, support for Ukraine is wavering across several countries.

          I’d rather a specific nation that has shown willing to support Ukraine in the long run to run it, Sweden, Finland and Norway are good candidates.

    It’s important to remember the baseline while the zone is flooded.
