    Either approach surprises me because Eutelsat is a French company.

    This isn’t a dig at France it is a dig at large defense companies but are we really surprised?

    This is why investigative journalism and real accountability are so important.

      I mean, yeah it is to me. We’re not seeing Safran providing munitions to Russia, nor have I seen any Rafale fighters dropping glide bombs on UA positions for obvious reasons. I guess I just expected that to extend to communications technology too.

        Yeah because by and large most people in France would be pissed as hell about that.

        What I am saying is there are shitty corrupt business execs in France same as anywhere else. There are also shady networks of resellers who don’t ask uncomfortable questions like anywhere else.
