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

I'm not understanding what you're saying on this. If "most people in France would be pissed as hell about that" about munitions or jets, why aren't they pissed at enabling Russian communications on the battlefield in Ukraine?

What I am saying is there are shitty corrupt business execs in France same as anywhere else.

No doubt, but Eutelsat isn't just some unleashed private equity defense company, it has a nearly 11% stake of ownership by the government of the UK and another 25% -ish percent bondholdings of French government state bank. source

Starlink, by comparison, is 100% privately owned yet they've taken steps to limit Russian military use in Ukraine.
