Do we not have that capability, directly without relying on a person/company?

In this case, we probably should have provided a communication system that Ukraine operates directly. If there is no way we can do that, that's a definite National Security risk.

While we might not like him here on DU, I wouldn't lump him in with Erdogan. Netanyahu is treated like a king by US politicians as well.
