This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Musk acting rational is a weird thing

He just doesn't want his satellites to be shot out of their orbits because that's exactly what many countries will do once Starlink gets used for large military operations.

It was along these lines that I was thinking. All Xitter's nonsense made it surprising to see Musk acting rationally even to protect his own companies.

And they would be justified in doing so. Can you imagine a weapon system that can coordinate a massive drone attack anywhere in the world?

That's true but that could have provoked a bigger escalation, probably a nuke war and at that time westerners were bloodlust for Russians

I think it's more rational self interest, which he always shows. His rationality is completely centered around greed and egoism from what I have seen, so I would assume he does that because it would not be profitable for him if he did that

Musk proposed the partition and negotiation plan in 2022 when Westerners were calling to nuke Russia 🤣. Atleast he was like hey i dont want to get nuked by Russia.
