Refusing to help Ukraine in that case was complying with US policy of not providing guided weapons with that range.

But alas, it's clear you aren't actually interested in hearing the truth.

So satellite internet is a guided weapon?

It's a weapons component in this case. I'll remind you everyone exporting night vision equipment to Ukraine is violating export control laws..enforced or not

Ukraine obviously didn't have control over territory in Crimea, so any use for Starlink there would be about using it as a remote control system for a weapon, which does make it a key component of a weapon guidance system.

It's kind of funny on many levels that when Musk or his businesses go against the US government or don't stick perfectly to its interests, your types rush out of the woodworks screeching about how the company needs to be seized and forced into compliance. But when they carefully follow the government's position, your types rush out to argue that the company and its CEO specifically are propping up a genocide. It's a lose-lose situation and so no wonder SpaceX et al mostly don't bother commenting on the lie of the week.
