On April 21, the Financial Times ran a story that should be front and center in U.S. national security policy circles ("China building cyber weapons to hijack enemy satellites"). It asserts that a "Classified CIA document assesses Beijing's ambitions to take control of communications critical to fighting wars." Instead, this issue is being drowned out publicly by domestic partisan distractions, and the presence in our nation's capitol of a political party that appears indifferent to American vital interests, and may even be hostile to them.
The F.T. report highlights one of the biggest military risks faced by the U.S. and its Western allies. The next frontier of war-making is in space, and China is already there. The Chinese are indeed ahead both in some applied technology and, especially, in national policy planning. Former president Trump appeared to understand this, and it was central to advancing the new U.S. Space Force through the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act. Unfortunately, this has, like NASA, been subject to the progressive left's unrelated ideologies and is being diverted or distracted from its core strategic imperative.
Part of the problem for the U.S. is that, while it has undoubted strength in cyber–command and control, and clearly so in space flight operations and technology, it is not currently unified at a national level in space law and policy. There is not one fully active and robust air, space, and security institution that is leading such efforts. Certain leaders within the USAF are clearly aware of the critical mission of the Space Force, but they are hampered by a civilian leadership with other priorities, or by its incapacity.
While the U.S. is distracted by internal politics and division, we are neglecting a clearly growing presence and determination by China to control space rights and rules,

Is there anything Trump wasn’t right about?
Thanks Billy...with a special thank you to Loral too
I fail to realize why they need/want a space force when they could send over a balloon and the commies in charge over there could just keep the billions of $$$.
I would hope our defenses and knowledge and technology regarding this is classified.
RE: Is there anything Trump wasn’t right about?
His appointments when he was President leave a lot to be desired.
He was sure that a core group of loyal Americans remained in the Federal Government.
Biden and the Dems have been bought off to let it happen.
You are absolutely right. He was played a sap by the Uniparty. His core beliefs were always true though. To be honest, they played me for the sap for 40 years as well (check my tagline). My learning curve on their treachery now is zero seconds, same as Trump’s.
That mistake cost him his presidency. He was a babe in the woods when dealing with the Uniparty (R) vermin. On that count, I plead guilty as well. Did you ever vote Bush? We have all been had. Trump’s core beliefs were always correct. Has he had his Come to Jesus moment about Uniparty (R) treachery? From his remarks and promises, I believe I can say, hell yes he has. It seems you have.

Shhh! Don’t answer that, it embarrasses the RINOs and RD cultists on this forum!

Nothing is classified as long as the Delaware Dunce and the Deep State are running the country!

Actually he could be right about that too, but they’re keeping their heads down to avoid persecution.
I’m beginning to think the spaceX explosion was sabotaged. There’s powerful forces that despise musk now that he has swung the opposite way.

Good of you to admit that you too have been duped because I believe many people here who always jump at the chance to bad-mouth Trump would never admit that they also have been suckered by the lies and deceitfulness of the Uniparty and the Deep State.
“Thanks Billy...with a special thank you to Loral too” Indeed!
I wonder how many people will have a clue what you are referring to. Prior to that Tech Transfer, the CCP failed Miserably for decades to successfully launch anything at all beyond bottle rockets.
A simple command change can cause much disruption to our satellites and our ability to win a war.
Visualize the future....
