    Default Space Based Threat

    Apparently Russia has a nuclear weapon orbiting in space. I am assuming it is targeting US military satellites providing secure communications. This is an escalation and a clear and present danger to the US.

    Not sure why you would need nuclear weapons to take out a satellite or how that even makes sense.. but I guess the apparatus needs to keep someone somewhere scared.

    Like those capabilities don't exist all ready, by multiple countries. The media is gung ho against anything russia right now, but they are not the only ones in space. Anyone remember when china took out a satellite "because we can" a couple years ago and all the other nations were "thanks for making a bunch of space debris threatening other satellites"? Anybody? How about the "rods of god" we supposedly have. Our 747 airborne laser platform. Do you really think we don't have space to space capable weaponry with all the heavy lift rocket launches we put into orbit each year with large military payloads?

    Must be an election year, time for distractions. Can't wait for the next virus scam, maybe fungus this time around. Gotta give the pravda media this, they have been extremely effective turning American against American the past decade, ever since the smith-mundt act was repealed.

    This is more political BS. Mike turner, the big intel chair squealing about this, supposedly a republican, voted to raise the debt ceiling, keep mcCarthy, and continually wants to sent $$$$$ to ukraine (this must be one hell of a kickback system as so many are for it in government and the MIC. Seriously, how much cash has ukraine gotten so far?). Also initially didn't vote to censure schiff. Cripes if republicans would stick together like democrats do then most of this crap wouldn't happen. But, UNIPARTY, both sides corrupt/blackmailed/compromised. Another RINO jagoff of the uniparty against America, just like Ken Buck who turned his back on us at least 3 times the past year alone.

    But I digress, maybe space aliens and their forbidden space technology....................

    I don't. But I do remember when India did that.

    On edit: Aaah, China did it too.

    Nuclear blast 200 miles above Kansas would take out electrical grid over a good portion of the USA. A couple of Nuclear blasts/EMPs over the east coast and west coast would be disastrous.
    Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Kaboom!
