    So yeah, its known that the US has at least some capabilities in space to counter anti-satellite operations, but coming out publically and claiming you’ve built some ‘secret’ space weapon, is an open invitation for all major powers to break treaty obligations and start weaponizing space.

    Next time, I don’t know, maybe: shut the fuck up, Donnie?

      Mm so so. We’ve had the ability to use kenetic lol space based devices since the 90s. The issue is Russia and the US were really the only one who signed our could enforce it so it was always sorta moot. .

    There was the introduction of Space Force, a branch of the US military, in Trump’s first term. I kind of assumed that meant there were weapons in space.

    How juvenile but also incredibly expected for a nation that bows to felons, rapists, and pedophiles.

        MAGA does not worship Reagan. He may have been a product of and furthered the effectiveness of the Southern Strategy, but MAGA sees him as just another liberal compared to them.

      The projection/admission rule on the new space Nazi uniforms says prob not bullshit.

      This admin is evil incarnate.

      If I were religio-christo I’d be certain the anti-Christ is among us and the four horsemen were on the way.

    They didn’t say what kind or how, though. Basically just alludes to their potential existence.
