Oh China.....can you hear us now?
I never thought contamination was a concern. I thought the shoot down was aimed to prevent it from falling into the hands of the bad guys. That may have been part of it, but now it seems to me anyway that the reason was to show the bad guys that they can’t hit us, at least with a limited number of ICBMs. That is a monumental development for stability, and you can bet the lesson is not lost on Dinajad or Kimmy or Hugo or Senator Reid et al.
Maybe there was never any super secret stuff associated with the satellite at all. I did read someone suggest that the satellite was perhaps capable of tracking subs.
Obviously, a barrage from Russia is probably not containable right now, but think about how far back we pushed Iran’s nuclear missile program with one shot.
We hit a cold bullet with a bullet at over 17,000 mph.
MAD is dead w/o destabilization. Now it’s you fire at us you are dead and we’re not. I like that better. Gives us a little more room to stretch.
But, overall, an amazing feat. Hats off to those smart guys and gals who did it. And to RR who was correct once again.
Yesterday was a magnificent space day for the USA, considering Atlantis, too.
I’m proud of the USA every single day, but this was special and far more significant than the msm admits. I guess that’s ‘cause they were hoping, and assured in their conceited way, that the Navy and its civilian colleagues would fail. One shot! The left is sick about it.
