🌌 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 I have a lot of questions about that story. The claim was that Specialist Grey was sitting at a terminal that was under attack and stayed at her terminal operating the space backed weaponry until the was literally pulled from her desk to seek safety’s elsewhere.

    I’m wondering what attack a US military installation has suffered? I’m seriously doubting that his story was anything but a training exercise with zero actual danger.

      Probably a console operator whose site came under attack as part of the Iran war. I’m not aware of any actual space-based offensive weapons actively in use, though we definitely have them deployed (X-37B). I’m betting this was satellite imaging, not a weapon.

      Also, Futurism is not a reliable news source.
