If Russia really does have a Starlink and Starshield killer, then they have caught up to the United States in a very real, disturbing way. And that means, after more than a decade of fighting to fundamentally transform American satellites by making them more survivable along the Starlink/Starshield model, it is now time to go back to the drawing board. Because if Russia has overcome these new satellite capabilities, then the Chinese certainly can as well—and all the money spent on reforming the satellite constellations by making them survivable will have to be spent enhancing their survivability once more.

This is definitely just a scaremongering article to use in lobbying for billions of dollars on military applications of satellite tech. It's conclusion makes it incredibly obvious "spend more government money".
