    Aside being the stuff of cartoon villains, once this is begun in earnest why on earth wouldn’t every other nation do the same?

    Because whatever country gets a system like this online first can prevent any other country from launching their own. If you can stop a missile, you can stop a rocket.

    And President Trump, for all I dislike him, is honest about American power and how America has always leveraged it. Biden or Obama, or any Democrat or more moderate Republican, would have spouted platitudes about not weaponizing space - while secretly building space weapons anyway and sabotaging other countries’ efforts to build their own. Trump openly builds weapons and dares the rest of the world to complain.

    The real difference between Trump and Biden is Trump doesn’t try to hide what America is.
