The chief of the US Space Force has warned that China is putting military capabilities into space at a “mind-boggling” pace, significantly increasing the risk of warfare in orbit.
“The number of different categories of space weapons that [China has] created and … the speed with which they’re doing it is very threatening,” said General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations at the US military’s recently created force tasked with protecting American interests in space.
You seem to think you’re in the know. Why was the Space Force suddenly necessary when Trump became president?
Well, just off the top of my head, I imagine there were many, many redundant departments specializing in satelite operations and maintenance spread across the army, navy, and air force that were consolidated.
Id also imagine that obtaining a production grant is quite a bit easier as there would be only one branch fighting for these things instead of three.
There is also the matter of focus, meaning that now there is a person directly responsible for all activities in sapce, foreign and domestic, that would be briefing the president as opposed to sidenotes in a meeting.
If you just stopped to think for just the 30 seconds it took me to write this comment, you too may be able to apply some logic to the situation.
You post funny memes.
Stay in your lane.
And yet that wasn’t a problem under 8 years of Obama? Why?
And what is your lane? Because it doesn’t sound like this is your area of expertise either. It sounds like you just think Space Force is cool.
Just so you are aware, because you seem to have trouble with that, the space force wasn’t created overnight during trumps admin.
The ball started rolling sometime around 2010 when russia and china stated their own military presence and focus in space, which would out it squarely under obamas admin.
My lane would be relying on objective facts.
Please stop speaking on things you are extremely ignorant of.
You didn’t tell me what your lane is. I wonder why?
Oof, on top of not understanding how the United States political apparatus works, you have a hard time reading.
Life must be verrrry difficult and frightening for you.
You’re right. I missed that. So you think the two lanes are “post funny memes” and “rely on objective facts” and they cannot cross.
Interesting.
That doesn’t sound like you’re relying on objective facts to come to that conclusion.
Especially when it wouldn’t be especially rational to make someone who’s lane is to “post funny memes” a mod of c/WorldNews.
Maybe they were just taking advantage of a poor intellectually disabled soul like myself?
Hahahahhahah, bust out that mod standing.
It’s all you have.
😂😂😂. God damn, thanks for the laugh. This is the funniest thing you’ve ever posted. Holy shit.
The above post has nothing to do with “objective facts” or the early history of Space Force. I thought that was your lane. Why have you stepped out of your lane?
