You think if people are ready to go to nuclear war, they are going to attack space and leave their enemy countries on earth free?
How so?
You haven’t heard a word I or others have been saying to you. If a major adversary decides to go to war with us, the first thing they will try to do is blind our command and control and intelligence and surveillance. If one space nuke can do that, and it doesn’t trigger a MAD response because no lives are taken in the attack (well ISS may be up the creek), then what holds them back? Our adversaries don’t do so good in modern conflict because they don’t have our technology but this type of attack would likely level the playing field.
A nuke in space would be equivalent to a Pearl Harbor.
