EU to help Ukraine replace Musk’s Starlink

Dear everyone,
Please stop accelerating an arms race which puts thousands of objects into low earth orbit.
Sincerely,
Astronomersdear astronomers, we hear you, but you are not the priority when it comes to making sure a country can fight back against oppression and fascism. also, oxygen is not a metal in general, unless we are talking about very specific pressures and temperatures of course.

Oxygen is not hydrogen. Therefore metal.
In fact hydrogen is a metal as long as it's not undergoing fusion.
Lithium - metal.
Helium, believe it or not - metal. It's pretty much just lithium anyway.
Look, can't we fight back by shooting starlink down instead of sending up more and more until the sky is just a cloud of (actual) metal? -
Fair point. But even so, SpaceX, parent company of Starlnk, has competed rather successfully with national/supranational space agencies in terms of cost.
That, I can't deny.
They managed the cheapest space missions in a high cost country. -
