Space Force....Trump was right again as China, and Russia weaponize space while our soldiers learn about pronouns...

If the indians in North America had had ships, cannon and guns, they would not have lost the continent to the Europeans....they didn't, and they did.....

We are now allowing China to increase their ability to wage war in and from space.......but...our troops will be able to snap out their preferred pronouns when they are in the Chinese prison camps....

China has doubled the number of ISR satellites it has in space to 250 since 2018. They are also vastly advancing their “counter-space capabilities.” (The ability to destroy other nations’ satellites with either groud-based or space-based offensive weaponry.) The agency also politely notes that the Chinese are using both “overt and covert” techniques to acquire foreign satellite technology. That’s a polite way of saying that they’re stealing as much American and allied tech as they can get their hands on.


China has also been working on satellite-based jammers capable of disrupting our radar, communications, and GPS capabilities. That would impact a lot more than just your car’s ability to find a way around the next roadblock. Modern military hardware relies on all of that data to accurately engage in targeting and strikes in remote locations. China believe that if they can threaten those sorts of systems, they would seriously inhibit our ability to engage in regional military conflicts, such as the one currently playing out in Ukraine.

All the way back in 2017, intelligence officials were sounding the alarm about the dangers of falling behind in the race for satellite technology superiority.

DIA warns of Chinese advances in space warfare, espionage

The 21st-century space race is on in full gear, with more nations than ever before putting technology into orbit, and not all of it is there on strictly peaceful, scientific missions. Satellite techno...

America Is Moving to Weaponize Space, but Space Is Already a Warzone

Arming drones and satellites? Lazer weapons? All of these options may be on the table.

“If you look at what China is doing and what Russia is doing. They will not take us on in the air, because they know we will ‘kick their butt,’ so the only way they think they can challenge us is to take out our space assets. They are developing capabilities to rival us in space,” Raymond said at the Air Force Association symposium.

Kessler syndrome is the most frightening thing there is to anyone trying to manage space-based infrastructure. It's where space junk becomes so thick that it destroys anything else we put up there creating more space junk. That's not saying we can't blow up anything out there, we almost certainly can, but the very idea of doing it is like deciding no one is ever going to space again, ever.

He who holds the high ground . . .

Space, specifically low and high orbit, are the ultimate high ground. We lose it, we're toast.

Yeah. Trump had that idea and he was mocked and jeered by the Left though he was right. Just like he was also laughed at for warning Europeans to get off of Russian oil... and again he was right.
We have no leaders right now.

But anyway, yeah, ultimate would be having a moon base and controlling the upper orbit

Biden spokesgirl chuckled over Space Force. Of course space is the next military frontier, and the most important one.

Scared the shit outta Russia.

It was mostly the Left who told us space exploration was a waste of time when the money could be given to social programs. We dont need NASA, we can rely on paying Russia for use of their rockets in sending up astronauts ..etc..
It's no wonder they were initially against Space Force, the close minded fools. Thankfully there was SpaceX.
Then these same fucking morons try to say TRUMP was a tool of Putin.

Scenario...
Day 1 - it's all good.
Day 2 - GPS satellites are taken out as well as Satellite Communication for cell phones, cable TV and some cloud communications
Cell phones... useless... all military technology that uses GPS satellites... useless. All navigation technology.... useless. Cable TV ... gone.
Many retail communications banks/hospitals etc. etc. etc. - useless. They have no way to communicate for years to come.
