So many possibilities!

There are but the most likely one is you not knowing what could means.

Maybe! The one about the guy getting unrestricted access to the group investigating his company for wrongdoing makes a lot of sense though.

Conspiracy theories must be quite common for people that don't know what could means.

Getting the feeling you’re just wanting to argue or something. It’s not a theory. USAID was investigating Starlink for aiding Russia by restricting Ukraine access. That is at minimum a conflict of interest.

I’m not here to squabble. If you are I suggest goading someone else.

Based on your actions I don't think you know what squabble means either.

Further USAID was not investigating starlink. They don't have authority to investigate starlink. They were investigating how the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals & how USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

Finally Starlink was never turned off for Ukraine they denied access up to Crimea because of US sanctions on Russia.
