The U.S. believes Russia wants to put a nuclear weapon in space, according to reports sparked by a top Republican warning about a 'serious national security threat'.
House Intel Chair Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said members of Congress had been made aware of the threat which is reported to be related to Russia and its threat from space - but wouldn't go into details.
It later emerged that it was related to Moscow's plan to put a nuclear weapon into space to target and destroy satellites the world depends on, ABC News reported.
Turner asked the president to declassify the information so lawmakers could discuss the ramifications in the ominous warning that sparked a response from the White House and furious speculation.
Moscow has already shown how it can be lethal from space by testing a hit-to-kill anti-satellite missile in 2021.
Russia smashed a defunct spy satellite launched in 1982 into 1,500 pieces of debris in the strike and sparked fury around the world.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., was one of the first lawmakers to view the documents in the SCIF on Wednesday afternoon.
He told reporters that the threat is 'not an immediate crisis but certainly something we have to be very serious about.'
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Wednesday he was 'surprised' Turner came publicly about the threat related to a 'destabilizing foreign military capability.'
'That's been on the books. So I am a bit surprised that Congressman Turner came out publicly today in advance of a meeting on the books for me to go sit with him alongside our intelligence and defense professionals tomorrow,

Well, they work.
LOL, yes they do!
I’m not an expert on this type of thing, but it does cause
me to wonder if the flip of a switch would detonate a weapon
that would expose the U. S. to a coast to coast EMP with no
warning whatsoever.
This seems like a psyop to scare Republicans into bringing the aide package to the floor.
We’re governed by hoaxes and psyops. They don’t even care that we can see through all the crap; they just keep shoveling, flooding the zone with propaganda.
Russian engineering cannot hold a candle to American engineering. We invented the railroad, combustion engine, flight, semiconductors, man on the moon, AI, self driving cars, smartphones, a-bomb, h-bomb, etc, etc. All invented by AMERICAN ENGINEERING.
Why in 2024 do we care what piddly Russia is doing in space? If Russia has one nuke in space we should have one hundred, plus the ability to send their nuke into deep space at the press of a button. We have the biggest military budget, the best engineering, the best technology.
The only way Russia can threaten America is if America is asleep at the wheel. And that’s the situation right now unfortunately. If there is a security threat from Russia then it’s the fault of WASHINGTON, DC. Mainly JOE BIDEN.
Clearly, this means that the necessity of postponing the 2024 swindle until 2028 is justified...
“For pete sakes...this is NOT NEW.”
Exactly. I’ve worked in space combat, this is nothing new at all.
“That’s a relief. I thought they were going to mount lasers on the heads of sharks.”
Dolphins. Ya gotta watch for the dolphins.
Looks like military recruitment is hitting all their target markets
“you need a nuclear weapon to take out a satellite? how big is the satellite?”
“...that’s no moon...”
And those ill-tempered sea bass.
“Star Wars wasn’t putting nukes in space. The closest thing to the original Star Wars plan is the Iron Dome system.”
THAAD, GMD, Patriot PAC3, AEGIS BMD, and AEGIS Ashore have all benefitted from the original Star Wars program developments.
Russia man bad just like the orange man..
And your masters would never lie to you..
Threats to assure that the money will be approved for Ukraine.
Diversions to assure that no one will pay attention to Biden’s mental status.
Diversions to assure that no one will stop the border invasions.
I now seem to be blind.
IMHO This is all a psyop to get NATO and the world panicked enough to start a hot war with Russia, greatly increase aid to Ukraine that the oligarchs can skim off, and create a reason to cancel the 2024 election. Obama, Soros, Schwab, and our deep state cabal know they are in danger of losing power. And the evil, traitorous bass turds will do anything, including starting WW3 to keep their ever increasing grip on the world. They all have contingency plans if their “super smart” plan goes sideways.
... 'destabilizing foreign military CAPABILITY.'
100% bullshit. This is a fabrication to rally support (fear) for uke funds.
I believe almost nothing anyone says any more. Even the doomsayers have their own questionable motivations.
“Russian engineering cannot hold a candle to American engineering. “
I know a lot of Russian and eastern european engineers that would disagree with you.
Most of the ones I know are very smart, and even the younger ones have actually studied engineering not gender studies.
most of our space launches in the 80s until the musk era used old moth-balled soviet engines and or designs

This can’t really be a surprise can it?
