Barf: The minute we move in there, they'll spot us on their radar.
Lone Star: Unnn uhh! Not if we jam it!
Why not just build it in China? They have total control there. Anybody could watch them in Antarctica.
So blind it back.
And likewise, the easiest targetable outpost on the planet...
Message to ANYONE in Washington who is; listening, not a liberal, not taking bribes, not a muslim, not suicidal, not an imbecile, not anti-american, not a chinese spy-
DON'T LET THE CHINESE DEVELOP AN ABILITY TO CRIPPLE OUR NEAR SPACE ASSETS.
But how much power could these radars direct at satellits? Unless the Chinese have a small nuclear power generating station at their research station, I think they'd have difficulty keeping enough fuel available to power the radars. Just about everything delivered to the south pole is brought by air.

Isn't there a treaty which forbids militarization of the South Pole?
This would seem like a clear violation.
Although I have to admit that the South Pole would be a nice place to test an EMP weapon.
Welp, if you are going to disrupt US sats you won't gain anything by disrupting them while they are over the pole. There is little that can be done to them aside from maybe a powerful high temp laser, something the chinese have a long ways to go and by time they have it we will have more laser resistent sats up.
I say we just put a satellite in geosynchronous orbit over the South Pole to keep an eye on them!!

Our dear friends the Red Chinese. END SARCASM!
