The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that was carrying war supplies. The Germans felt they had a right to sink it, even though there were civilian passengers on board. It was one of the reasons that the US decided to enter the War on the British side.
If Putin decided to knock out the satellites, people would claim that it was an attack on American/NATO interests. The GOP donors who are okay with pro-Russia candidates now would change their minds pretty fast if they saw their investments being threatened.
Reminds me of the Lusitania.
