“One of the main reasons why we established the Space Force was to go fast and to stay ahead of a growing threat," Raymond said, according to the Washington Examiner.
"The best way we know how to deter conflict from [the] beginning or extending into space is to do so from a position of strength,” he continued.
“We're prepared to protect and defend our capabilities today. We will remain prepared to protect our capabilities into the future.”
China has already established itself as an aggressive space power after using a rocket to destroy one of its own weather satellites in 2007.
Russia has also tested out anti-satellite weapons.
China and Russia have both proposed arms control treaties with the US but they have been shot down by US officials.
A senior US diplomat last month accused them of being “the two countries that ... have turned space into a warfighting domain.”
'JAMMING US SATELLITES' “We have seen what China has done with, and Russia, has done in developing a suite of capabilities designed to deny our access to space,” Raymond added on Thursday.
"Everything from reversible jamming of communications satellites and GPS satellites, to directed energy weapons, to satellites in orbit that are designed to destroy U.S. satellites in orbit, to missiles that are being launched from the ground to destroy satellites like China demonstrated — Russia has the same type of program — and to cyber threats.”

All it would take is a couple of fragmentation exploding satellites in LEO, and space would be denied to EVERYONE.
Brings to mind some of the last days events on the prophetic calendar....one can see space war creating such an environment as weapons become more and more advanced...sufficient enough to shake the entire airspace.
Bullsquirt.
If this was true, they would never cash in a high quality commander because he respectfully opposed communism and racism in the ranks.
More fear porn.

Hard to do when your top priority is really infusing wokeness in the workforce.
“It’s over, Anakin. I have the high ground.”
Space Cadet commander has all the troops tied up in diversity training.
Which they'll get to as soon as an adequate percentage of oppressed minorities are hired to convert our rockets to non-CO2 producing technologies.
We have the same programs and capabilities.
Trump was right again
Er, how do you deny access to outer space. It’s like the UN declarations about space. Arrogant and unenforceable.
If this was true, they would never cash in a high quality commander because he respectfully opposed communism and racism in the ranks.

If which part were true -
China and Russia will deny US access
or
The Space Force is trying to stay ahead?
If the Space Force is not really trying to stay ahead, then it makes sense that they would fire the commander who was exposing Marxism, etc. in the ranks.
Too late.
I don't think so. Space is huge, and not likely that fragments could spread to enough of a large band to cover the Earth. Drag from atmosphere and gravity would eventually pull fragments into limited orbits in LEO. Still a risk to manned flights in low orbit, but not if escaping the Earth to higher orbit.
Our adversaries are focused on one thing: winning.
We are focused on woking.
Those with the strongest desire to win usually do. Just sayin.
They both deny the US status as only superpower. That is what they deny at all. Actually they have right of that.
May be it is easier just accept that and instead of wasting billions of dollars go agree with inevitable. Those billions are better to spend on infrastructure.
Our adversaries are focused on one thing: winning.==
And a winning for them is to be independent of US telling them what to do. It is all what they really want.
