Blocking is always a good way to avoid needing to explain the contradictions in one's reasoning.

Yikes, a major war you say?
Those are not my words. Not even Elon's. Those are the words of the author of Elon's biography, Walter Isaacson. What Elon said is:
If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.
The reason Ukraine can't use Starlink in Russia (or occupied territories) is because Starlink is not enabled there due to US sanctions to Russia. Enabling it would be literally illegal for him to do. He also added later that had he been contacted by US officials and told to enable it, he would have, but they didn't.
The one I live in: Finland
The only thing I don't like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it's the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It's also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we've been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it's still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.
Surely you can get rid of that 'parasite' in the first few months instead of waiting for the last minute? I don't see how drawing the line at, say 12 weeks now somehow takes away a person's bodily autonomy.
Speaking of a red herring, a comparison to a forced kidney donation is completely irrelevant here.
