An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

🌌 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!

      Infrastructure for war is a legitimate target and hence legitimizes weapons that target said infrastructure.

      Safelite weaponry typically isn’t a torpedo, explosives or a laser but just knocking the thing down or jamming it.

        Everything you said in this comment may be true, but none of it changes the fact that a US military representative said the US is putting weapons, not infrastructure, in space.
