Sure, go ahead, shoot down a Starlink satellite. There will be another along in a few minutes.

Shoot down every one that passes over country X? Hope you've got a few thousand antisatellite weapons, and you're willing to burn them on this...

I thought Starlinks are below geostationary orbit, so I assume any debris should burn sooner or later.
