What is the fuel on board the satellite? Is it plutonium? If it is, that would be damn good reason to shoot it down so it all burns up in the atmosphere on reentry.
Haha.. if it were plutonium, that would create quite a stir. I doubt we’d be admitting that, if it were the case. I’ve read elsewhere the fuel they’re concerned about is Hydrazine.

I didn’t fully grok this story until you used the “P-word.”
It actually is plausible that this is very dangerous s*** on board. “Fuel” sounds like kerosene or hydrazine, but this is a well-protected nuke on board.
Or not.
It's purely chemical, hydrazine.
Hydrazine
Hydrazine.
