RT News has reported that there may be signs that the United States is planning to premptively strike Russia and China with space weapons. This might come as no surprise ever since US President Donald Trump ordered the creation of a Space Force, and ever since he has been boasting how the United States will reign supreme on all fronts, even in space! RT has the following to report:
The analysis of the “probable actions” of Washington shows that Americans are seeking to achieve strategic superiority through the so-called ‘on-start interception’ doctrine, Deputy Chief of the General Staff operative command Lieutenant General Viktor Poznikhir said Wednesday. Under such a plan, the US would seek to destroy the “overwhelming majority” of their adversaries’ missiles while the munitions are still sitting in their silos.
“Washington's intentions to create a space-based layer of the strike anti-missile systems to hit ballistic missiles at early flight stages are particularly concerning. Basically, it's revival of the 1980s concept of ‘Star Wars,’” the official stated.
“Just like with the Mk.41 launchers [at the US ‘missile defense’ facilities in Europe], the prospects of using space-based weapons to carry out a preemptive strikes on Russia and China. And given the global reach of the space-based weapons, such a strike can be carried out on facilities of any state,” Poznikhir warned.
So with this Star Wars like program coming back, is this a way for the US to try and take out the people they see as a threat such as Russia and China? How long will it be before those two countries take to space as well? China is already leading the race on AI, so is it a leap to think they could send some drones to take care of anything the US has in space? What do you think? Leave your thoughts below!
