The American military industrial complex is salivating right now

[–] Semjaza 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why now?

The US military already has satellites than can drop artificial asteroids onto Earth, causing large localised, hard to detect and prevent damage.

Space has sadly already been weaponised.

Not officially, so one wonders how you got this info?

I mean, ICBMs are basically this, just unlaunched, but I doubt that's your point.

Interesting phrasing fellow citizen. Did you inform them?

No updates in several years, and the human propensity to weaponise.

Plus the furore a few years back over the Russian anti-satellite satellite and the way both US and Russia spoke round the issue.

Non-weaponised space is verging into Israel isn't a nulear weapon state territory if I'm honest.

Iron Sky Intensifies

tldw Everyone assumes the US made a secret illegal armed space ship (they did) so almost every other country did too. The US was offended that anyone but them broke the rules but they all had to fight the moon nazis together so no big deal

Yeah, but that's just what we do.
