An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

“…Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms.”

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: “Space is both a battlefield…”

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

    So we can afford space weapons but not universal health care and basic social safety net programs?

      Dan Olson’s Call of Duty: Ghosts video got super prescient but I didn’t expect “America built an orbital superweapon while ‘in decline’” to rear it’s ugly head so soon.
