"He just gets dumber and dumber..."

Actually, I think he's pretty smart to fanagled his way into the Oval Office. The real problem is how naive and arrogant he is. That will be his un-doing, or at least our nation's un-doing.

Interesting, since there seems to be no real definition of “weapons”.

Does a surveillance satellite count?

Does a satellite that targets ground based interceptors count?

Does a ground-based laser that “blinds” satellites count?

You could argue that none of the above are actual weapons in space.

It would rule out such proposed weapons as “Brilliant Pebbles” though...

Perhaps this is more window dressing to placate the looney left?
