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.

      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.

          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.
