It’s either loose lips or psy-ops.

I believe we are a great force for good on this Earth, and that Communist China, a country with a history of murdering tens or hundreds of millions of its own citizens for political purposes and putting the face of that murderer on their currency, is a force for evil on this earth.

I do see it in those manachean terms. And I am not wrong, of this I am sure.

And I see AI development the same way. I choose us to lead.

We have flaws, but we are not Communist China.

If I had to choose on the oceans, I would choose to have us prevail.

If I had to choose in the air, I would choose us to lead.

If I had to choose on the ground, I would choose us.

And if I had to choose Space, I would choose us to lead. If that involves weapons in space, I choose that we lead the way.

I reject giving leadership to the CCP in any endeavor whatsoever.

I believe there is a treaty that precludes this.

Obviously nobody adheres.

Last days weapons of anti-Christ: an ICBM is good enough, a hellfire missile targeted from a drone five miles out even, but does make one wonder about space based lasers etc.,

Such disclosures aren’t mere careless slips.

If true it represents a clear escalation in the new cold war we find ourselves in with China.

Encircling the earth with orbiting hydrogen bombs ups the ante considerably.

Hence the creation of the Space Force, separating the mission from the Air Force.

If they’re telling us now we’ve had weapons for a decade or more

Anyone who thought we (and everyone else who can) did NOT have weapons in space, bless your heart honey.

I hope you like the nice new crayons.

When WWIII starts, the satellites will be first to go.

This is an absolutely huge revelation.

Our strategic plan for many years has been ‘conceal-reveal-deceive’. Choose.

The fact that this is being revealed is consequential. No space-faring nation has ever abided by the treaties. Russia/USSR, China, have all put weapons on orbit.

In violation of every smug treaty they have signed. I am very happy that President Trump created the Space Force to protect us on orbit.

I don’t know about today, but astronauts used to carry weapons into space.

Our Air Force shuttle is an incredibly flexible weapon because it can capture satellites or deploy offensive weapons.

USA and Russia put weapons platforms in orbit in the 1970’s. Nuthin new.
