It’s not a Ukrainian company is the problem. You can’t just nationalise a foreign entity.
Couldn’t the US nationalize it and then set up an agency to maintain the network/ensure it doesn’t get shut off again by Elon Musk?
Edit: Obviously I mean the US should do an imminent domain / purchase first, so they have access to the satellites first, smh.
The U.S. isn’t a banana republic. That’s how they roll in Venezuela and it’s not working out so well. They’re certainly not going to undermine the integrity of the U.S. economy to provide marginally more intel security to Ukraine. The government can make an offer to purchase SpaceX, but I don’t see why they need to.
That’s such a strange way to use banana republic. Banana republics were created after the US instituted coups due to the threat of land reform (nationalization of US company owned plantation land). Denying the right to nationalize things is what creates banana republics. (Not that I think anyone should do something so stupid as try to nationalize satellites they have no access to.)
You can do anything…belive in yourself
Should belong to the UN.
