GOP warning of ‘national security threat’ is about Russia wanting nuclear weapon in space: Sources::The White House will meet with congressional leadership as a top Republican is requesting President Biden declassify information on a “serious national security threat”
Wait they are warning us about Russia yet they want the oompa loopa that supports them.
They are trying to create the narrative that Biden is helping Putin too because Trump so obviously does it. It’s whataboutism.
It’s concerning that right before this it came out musk is letting Russia use starlink and musk almost immediately said he’s taking some starling satellites out of orbit.
Pretty sure he’s always been fine leaving space filled with broken shitty satellites.
He’s letting Russia use starlink? Care to elaborate? That would be a direct violation of sanctions the US has put over Russia.
Ukraine says they are, musk says they’re not
You said “musk is letting Russia use starlink”
That’s a very specific claim but nothing in the article you linked indicates that this has anything to do with “Musk letting them do so” nor does it say that he denies the claims of them using it either. It only says that they don’t sell them to Russia and to our current knowledge this is true. Starlink doesn’t work in Russia or the occupied territories. It does work near the front lines though because Ukrainians are using them aswell.
Well, you can believe the Ukrainian government, or Elon Musk.
Pretty easy choice for most people.
Maybe you should just read the article you linked and stop making up stuff. You can hate Musk as much as you like but that doesn’t justify spreading lies.
Russia proper is geofenced and cannot use Starlink at all
Russian citizens and individual members of militias/armed forces are buying terminals (via smugglers) and using them within Ukraine
Short of blocking the Russia side of the front line as it changes daily, they can play whack-a-mole with terminals used by Russian/aligned forces
Shitty people do shitty things, news at 11.
Didn’t Russia sign some sort of treaty that prohibited that?
They wouldn’t just go and ignore a treaty, would they?
They’ll argue that they didn’t sign the treaty, the USSR did.
Even if the federation signed it, they’d still find a reason to ignore it if they wanted to.

“Huh? What Budapest Memorandum do you refer to comrade?”
-Russia probably
It wouldn’t matter they see the US Space Force as a violation of that charter
Let’s be real: If it wasn’t that, they’d come up with another excuse.

Texas has the same GDP as all of Russia. Both New York and California are considerably larger than all of Russia. There is no scalable parity here. China is more serious, but Russia is nothing more than a sadistic nuisance. Moving away from fossil fuels in the next few decades will make Russia into a backwater wilderness even more than it already is. The current war’s workforce generation gap is their death knell.
It would not surprise me one bit if Putin’s rhetoric is done in collusion with the US military industrial complex behind the scenes. He’s already funding the Republican party. It would only make sense that he is also working closely with the real powers.
Which leads me to ask: if he has to have a launch capacity in space, how badly broken is Russia’s launch capacity?
His nuclear arsenal is primarily 50-year-old delivery systems that have been “maintained” by notorious black market scalpers. It would be a surprise if even one ICBM could make it to its destination and then detonate with effect, even if absolutely no countermeasures were deployed.
The world has been politely capitulating to a man they know is bluffing. It’s been the lazy way out for decades now. It’s time to call his bluff and end this regime of terror.
Ok, what are they trying to distract us from now?
Oh look, it’s the next fear mongering tactic.
As predicted in the plot of Space Cowboys
So the GoldenEye program is real!
