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!

    This just sounds like they’re being pretentious about L3 Meadowlands, which is a dish on a trailer for jamming drone satellite links. The US deployed tons of those before bombing Iran and they all got blown up because Iran has been jamming US drones for years and was very public about building their drones with AI camera based guidance since jamming is too easy.
