Putin is not as stupid as Musk. He's causing the EU to fracture a bit more as Hungary and Poland break with the EU on boycotting Russian gas/oil. The EU has already spun off the UK thanks to Russian propaganda. If Trump had won his reelection NATO wouldn't be long for the world either.

Plus, if you look at the way Musk got played recently to spread Russian talking points about Ukraine in order to protect his precious Starlink from weapons Russia probably doesn't even have, it becomes somewhat more obvious how the comparison breaks down.

What do you think the outlook will be for the Russian economy and Russian people after this war is over and Ukraine has won?

Do you think Russia will be in a better place than it was before this war?

Nonsense. Temporary disruption and disagreement over energy politics will not lead to a long term break in the fundamental political alignment of Poland and Hungary and will certainty not break the EU.

You seem to love to make lots of assumptions without evidence.

First of all, not everybody who doesn't support war until all parts of Ukraine are recovered is a Russian tool. Most wars end on compromise and both sides usually try to shoot down anybody who suggest a compromise.

And if you really think he did this to protect Starlink you have a series lack of understanding of space politics and relative capability.
