Russia and China “have developed and demonstrated the ability to conduct war fighting in space.”…

The chief of the US Space Force has warned that China is putting military capabilities into space at a “mind-boggling” pace, significantly increasing the risk of warfare in orbit.

“The number of different categories of space weapons that [China has] created and … the speed with which they’re doing it is very threatening,” said General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations at the US military’s recently created force tasked with protecting American interests in space.

    And yet that wasn’t a problem under 8 years of Obama? Why?

    And what is your lane? Because it doesn’t sound like this is your area of expertise either. It sounds like you just think Space Force is cool.

      Just so you are aware, because you seem to have trouble with that, the space force wasn’t created overnight during trumps admin.

      The ball started rolling sometime around 2010 when russia and china stated their own military presence and focus in space, which would out it squarely under obamas admin.

      My lane would be relying on objective facts.

      Please stop speaking on things you are extremely ignorant of.

          Oof, on top of not understanding how the United States political apparatus works, you have a hard time reading.

          Life must be verrrry difficult and frightening for you.

            You’re right. I missed that. So you think the two lanes are “post funny memes” and “rely on objective facts” and they cannot cross.

            Interesting.

            That doesn’t sound like you’re relying on objective facts to come to that conclusion.

            Especially when it wouldn’t be especially rational to make someone who’s lane is to “post funny memes” a mod of c/WorldNews.

            Maybe they were just taking advantage of a poor intellectually disabled soul like myself?
