      That just includes nukes. Russia and China have both deployed weapons already.

      The rules are silly if it stops only yourself. I live between Russians and they constantly make fun of western anti-war rules as if we’re basically tying our hands behind our back and hitting with our heads.

    And let the star wars begin, maybe the coming kessler syndrome and with the inability to escape Earth, the elites will finally take this planet seriously. I cant beleive these fucking losers run the place.

      We’re almost up to 6 years of practice on the consistent inconsistency… how do you know they’re lying? Well, you don’t, because about 5% of what they say turns out to be true-ish sooner or later and it’s all very random sounding - see, that’s the genius - nobody can predict what’s coming next.

        The US has been saying one thing and doing another for far longer than 6 years.

          saying one thing and doing another

          Such has been the nature of diplomacy for the past many centuries.

          What’s different for 6 years, and especially the past 2-ish, is they have been saying all the things - true things, false things, but most out of character for the country - but not the clown: the things that “just weren’t said” in the past.

    These weapons have existed in various forms as far back as the 1960’s. Missles, lasers and satellites designed to attack other satelittes. Someone must be trying for a promotion.

      Not just US smartphones, any device which communicates its GPS / other nav system position to an accessible network on a regular basis is basically a target that paints itself.

    Finally all trash goes into space and we can live in freedom. Good idea from the us-military. Hope, others will follow soon.
