The US has new intelligence on Russian military capabilities related to its efforts to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in space, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence.
The intelligence was briefed to Congress and key US allies, and some lawmakers say it is serious enough that it should be declassified and made public. While the intelligence is concerning, multiple senior members of Congress briefed on the information on Wednesday emphasized that it does not pose an immediate threat to the US or its interests.
The system remains under development and is not yet in orbit, according to three US officials familiar with the intelligence. It’s not clear how far the technology has progressed, one of the officials said. A separate US official told CNN the threat does not involve a weapon that would be used to attack humans.

Do not put past the Deep State to revitalize intelligence from 1966 to get 'em some Ukraine money.
We need hearings. /s
WMDs.
Colonel Powell.
That’s okay. Zelenskyyyyy has our backs in space. Just keep sending those pallets of Benjamins.
I’m old enough to remember when our government was capable of TALKING TO RUSSIANS (and a lot of good arms deals came out of that).
Now, I guess, that is not even possible.
It’s coincidence that this intel “comes out” right when a $95 billion bill is in Congress.
Totally a coincidence…
We had a similar program in the 60s.
The people in charge now, and their acolytes disgust me.
Eisenhower saw the future and warned us.
Total BS... detonating a nuke to take our satellites would also that out theirs........ Head fake for more Ukraine funding
We Americans were ahead in space once but we lost the edge:

As long as they don’t mess with my MTV satellite—I’m good.... :)
Exactly, this is nothing more than a piece of propaganda designed to influence the public. They are expecting the media whores to run with this and create a public zeitgeist which would put pressure on Johnson to pass the “sell out America” Ukraine bill.
Next, I suspect we will see the media lying and writing articles about how the public now supports the Ukraine funding.

Look for that BS poll, and then read/publish the methodology.
There are other ways besides blowing things up to use nuclear energy. This way SEEMS to skirt some treaties although I don’t see any technical reason that such a weapon couldn’t be pointed downwards.

It took SEVEN PEOPLE TO WRITE THIS CNN PROPAGANDA PIECE.
I say propaganda because it’s ALL PART OF THE CAMPAIGN TO ADVANCE 60 BILLION DOLLAR UKRAINIAN AID.
And the NEOCON MIKE TURNER is a willing participant in this campaign.
In other new the twenty seven intelligence agencies are monitoring Russian oxen delivery technology.
