I think you’re looking at MADS here.. Mutually Assured Destruction of Satellites. Not that Obama would allow us to take one of theirs out if they dare take us on, but our little X37 Space plane could be offensively equipped with weapons and/or jammers if need be. ‘Killer satellites’ is a slippery slope but I’m sure Obama will do all he can to hogtie us while helping China. It’s all about ‘evening the playing field INTERNATIONALLY too, not just domestically. By the way, IMPEACH OBAMA FOR SABOTAGING AMERICA.
I don’t think it matters if we destroy their satelliets. Besides, if they have a moon base, and we don’t then they have the literal high ground. But, our main advantage is technological and much of that is extremely dependant on satellites. If they can take out our satellites, their massive numbers begin to look much more formidable.
