This is the same country that cannot properly arm and equip it’s ground forces in Ukraine. And we think they’re coming up with nuclear armed spaceships?

Their reaction was as if there was an imminent threat.

We had a similar program in the 60s.

True.

But OUR program was steps behind the Russian program. The inventor of the 'space weapon' defected to the US and helped us develop a killer satellite.

The Russians even tested theirs over the US just so we could see it.

Both nations realized that these killer satellites would be a very risky weapon to let loose. Both sides decided to limit the 'subject', or as Biden would put it 'put a lid on it . So... we can... they can, but the results to everything in orbit are so devastating, hopefully it will stay a last resort.

“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.”

100% correct.

It was actually called FALCon, fission activated laser concept. The purpose of nukes in space is not to take out satellites, its to shutdown everything with the EMP.

House Intel Chairman Proclaims Russians from Space Are Coming After USA

February 14, 2024 | Sundance | 180 Comments

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI, Chairman Mike Turner is quite predictable in his methods to support the Intelligence Community.  {Background Here}

Today, Chairman Mike Turner shocked the DC system by proclaiming Russians from Outer Space were coming to destroy us.   This “deadly Russians” narrative, as sold by Mike Turner, supports:

(1) Ukraine funding,

(2) FISA reauthorization, and the

(3) “seven ways to Sunday” Deep State.

[Source, Link]

WASHINGTON DC – A vague warning by the chair of the House Intelligence Committee about a “serious national security threat” Wednesday is related to Russia’s attempts to develop an antisatellite nuclear weapon for use in space, according to two people familiar with the matter.

While the people did not provide further details on the intel, one of them noted the U.S. has for more than a year been concerned about Russia’s potentially creating and deploying an antisatellite nuclear weapon — a weapon the U.S. and other countries would be unable to adequately defend against.

In his statement Wednesday morning, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said his committee had made available the information about the national security threat and called on the administration to declassify the intelligence so officials and lawmakers could discuss the matter with allies.

It is not clear what prompted Turner to issue the statement now, as the intelligence has been available to leaders of the House intelligence committee and their top aides in a secure room on Capitol Hill for more than a week, one of the people said. The Senate intelligence committee has also had access to the information. (read more)

Now, right before the latest Dangerous Russians from Outer Space narrative was triggered, guess where Mike Turner was?

Funny how that happens, eh?

The totally corrupt American regime and its paymasters are what is destroying America, not any external power.

Need the “Oh noes” and “We’re all gonna die” guys before we pass the FISA (Fascist Internal Spying Act) reauthorization.

I have serious doubts.
Let me re-frame this. What if the story was that it was North Korea? Or Iran, that was trying/planning to do the “nukes-in-space” thing?
Or China?
It is equally likely (IMO) that any of them are working on this. But for some reason, the alert comes out with the name of Russia Russia RUSSIA attached.
Isn’t that curious?
Does that make any of you go, “Hmmmmm.....”?

Wasn’t there a movie back in the 80s that had Americans disarming Soviet missiles that were mounted on a satellite?

I remember the movie but not the name.

So the concept has been around for decades.

If one doubts a nuke can be launched from outer space, remember that SpaceX can land its booster on a barge. Also, the in-orbit nuke can be designed to radiate microwaves for a electromagnetic pulse for the ground below as well as satellites above.
