Russian space agency says Trump paving way to seize other planets
Euractiv/Reuters ^

Posted on 04/08/2020 11:03:11 PM PDT by LibWhacker

The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, accused Donald Trump on Tuesday (7 April) of creating a basis to take over other planets by signing an executive order outlining US policy on commercial mining in space.

The executive order, which Roscosmos said damaged the scope for international cooperation in space, was signed on Monday.

It said the United States would seek to negotiate “joint statements and bilateral and multilateral arrangements with foreign states regarding safe and sustainable operations for the public and private recovery and use of space resources”.

It said US citizens should have the right to engage in such activity and that “outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons”.

Darn right, we will plant our flag on them. Reminds me of that bumper sticker: Earth First! (We’ll strip-mine the other planets later).

Now we are quarrelling over planets. Oh No! Trump is going to take the planets!

News headline: The year is 2058 and Trump's brain is now AI and taking over the Milky Way Galaxy.

I honestly thought this was a Babylon Bee article when I read the headline.

If Columbus hadn’t had the right to claim any virgin lands he saw for Spain, could he have gotten funding for his expedition? Money doesn’t grow on trees.

The Russkies are in a panic because they realize that they haven’t a chance in hell of keeping up with the USA in the Space Race. The Chinese know this as well. As does the rest of the world.
So, they will attempt to use the UN and other multi-nationals to put pressure on us to stop us or, slow us down.
The Dems, MSM, Academia, Hollywierd, etc...will join them in condemning the USA as evil bastards subjugating the world and risking global war in our evil attempt to dominate space militarily and corporately for capitalistic domination.
If we unleash ourselves as a nation there isn’t any country on earth that can compete. Not even close. They know this. They fear this. And, they will use every bit of internal subterfuge to undermine us.
Donald Trump knows this very well. He’s stated it for 40 years. He waited for an American Politician to step up for 40 years. When it became painfully obvious there was no such politician. He ran on this very concept. MAGA.

Just like there is no crying in baseball, there is no Communism in Space.

Damn right. If we spend a king’s ransom colonizing other planets, those planets should be American territory. Other countries want a piece of the action? Molon labe.
