Trump was right about the US Space Force
China is set to dominate Outer Space, with devastating consequences for Americans

On April 21, the Financial Times ran a story that should be front and center in U.S. national security policy circles ("China building cyber weapons to hijack enemy satellites"). It asserts that a "Classified CIA document assesses Beijing's ambitions to take control of communications critical to fighting wars." Instead, this issue is being drowned out publicly by domestic partisan distractions, and the presence in our nation's capitol of a political party that appears indifferent to American vital interests, and may even be hostile to them.
The F.T. report highlights one of the biggest military risks faced by the U.S. and its Western allies. The next frontier of war-making is in space, and China is already there. The Chinese are indeed ahead both in some applied technology and, especially, in national policy planning. Former president Trump appeared to understand this, and it was central to advancing the new U.S. Space Force through the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act. Unfortunately, this has, like NASA, been subject to the progressive left's unrelated ideologies and is being diverted or distracted from its core strategic imperative.
Part of the problem for the U.S. is that, while it has undoubted strength in cyber–command and control, and clearly so in space flight operations and technology, it is not currently unified at a national level in space law and policy. There is not one fully active and robust air, space, and security institution that is leading such efforts. Certain leaders within the USAF are clearly aware of the critical mission of the Space Force, but they are hampered by a civilian leadership with other priorities, or by its incapacity.
While the U.S. is distracted by internal politics and division, we are neglecting a clearly growing presence and determination by China to control space rights and rules, and even to make space property claims, all while creating an existential dominance over the fate of many basic public systems including communications, energy, and transportation.
Commentary:
Seems Trump decision was right once again.
Unfortunately, each day that goes by we find more evidence that Biden and many Democrat politicians have been bought by the Chinese.
Nothing in Washington D.C. is classified as long as the Biden, Maoist Democrats and the Uni-Party are running this country!
Of concern are recent testing of Chinese satellites that shadowed and chased other satellites, some circling around them in a spiral fashion. For now, Chinese satellites only got very close to other Chinese satellites. Some of these Chinese satellites have grappling claws. Of course, the Chinese government says they are for clearing space debris, to grapple junk and direct it to de-orbit.
A simple command change can cause much disruption to our satellites and our ability to win a war.
We can also thank Maoist Democrats and especially Bubba Clinton for giving China the missile technology. Prior to that all China could launch were bottle rockets.
