Well a high altitude nuke works better due to the Compton Effect. But yeah, that’s why you put a nuke in space. No need to waste a nuke on satellites.
Never mind the Norks have two satellites in N-S polar orbit that traverse the continental US 2 or three times a day.
Oh, and they are known to be powered and operating, but have never transmitted. Despite being announced as comes birds.
A trans son as well. The Twilight Zone.
“put a nuclear weapon into space to target and destroy satellites “
There’s a little problem with debris.
Blofeld :
The satellite is at present over... Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years.
Diamonds Are Forever
They gave up on that. They developed ill-tempered mutated sea bass.
“People are so gullible that the Media can just put in some trigger words and rile people up because people don’t stop and try to make sense of it.”
You mean like on FR?
They are playing poker while we play go fish. I wanna know, however, can we fix this problem if we increase our national debt to $68T? It really doesn’t matter since we can’t repay it anyway.
Hey, watch it. I resemble that remark.

That is you speaking and you can’t speak for DS.
Kinetic weapons are much better at taking out space-based assets.
Railgun-like launchers are hard to detect and can be wicked accurate over very long distances. No explosions. A tungsten coated projectile rips through the target and, oooops, that satellite just went offline!
A nuclear weapon would be messy, noticed, and lead to all kinds of questions.
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
I certainly am not DS. Officially I ain’t sayin squat, but if you read my profile, it’s sort of my business, so I speak with as much credibility as you will find on this platform. If you don’t want to believe it, it’s no skin off me.
And Biden immediately responded “A minor incursion into space is fine.”
Much better to wipe out all electrical infrastructure with hack attacks.
“She clearly had work done since the ST episode.”
Naw, she was braless in the ST episode and in Young Frankenstein she had a push up bra.
I feel so safe. And so proud of our gender-diverse in uniform.
“I’m concerned about the nukes on the Russian subs loitering a couple hundred miles off our coasts.”
I’d be more concerned about the sailors serving on those subs since history shows that the greatest threat to Soviet submariners is their own boat.
