🌌 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!
This is the typically profoundly short sighted shit we can expect from the Americans.
Look–there is a VERY simply counter to ANY space weapon, no matter how poweful and expensive:
If you don’t have the technology to compete in space, all you do is throw shrapnel grenades into space until the entire orbit is full of little bits of metal zipping around at hundreds of miles an hour, shredding any weapons that are up there.
Unfortunately, any satellites, used for communication, or for weather forecasting, or space observation, will also be shredded.
The United States is actively fucking with the future of humanity. The world needs to divest and sanction this shitshow of a country.
