    Starlink was not sold or provided to Ukraine under a defense contract… defense contractors who are labeled as such do not typically work with the public directly. You’re definition of a defense contractor apparently is any company who has worked on a DOJ or DOD bid…which means basically all companies in the USA. This doesn’t magically make them not have to follow civilian regulations. ITAR is in play here, just because starlink has defense contracts, doesn’t magically give them a pass on other regulations.

    Cereal companies get defense contracts FFS…that doesn’t make them a defense contractor.

      Why would working a DOJ bid make a company a defense contractor…?

      JFC…you might actually need a reeducation camp, but instead of propaganda, it’s just a forced repeat of K-12 education.

          You mean the lawyers who coordinate national security related legal issues with law enforcement and intelligence? Yep, sure do, still doesn’t make them part of the military.

          I’d say it’s easier to take the L, but I understand you lack the self-awareness of your stupidity.

          Honestly, you’re the clearest example of Dunning-Kruger I’ve seen in quite a while. For that, I’m sorry.

            Forgot that DHS and the national guard aren’t military…

            You keep thinking that military contacts magically make a company a defense contractor and that they don’t have to follow the laws…the only reason you’re upset is because you are so far up the musk hate trains ass you can’t disassociate yourself from it.
