Actually a pretty smart move on Trump’s part. With China making no bones about the militarization of space, Trump has effectively told the Chicoms to “go ahead” and he will use the US military to block their initiative. Once again, Trump is playing 3-D chess while Congress is still playing checkers.
I don’t think Congress has risen to the level of checkers yet, I think Congress is playing Go Fish, and rather unsuccessfully to boot. LOL
