Could it be an ASAT system the x-37 put in orbit? Could it be project pebbles? Could it be project Thor?
Don't worry about it.
>>65511402Who is associated with the quote? If it's Hegseth or Trump than it most likely doesn't exist or is some sort of space-based hacking support system for spy satellites. If it's someone from the Air/Space Force than it could be advanced spy satellite shenanigans
>>65511412USAF said it.https://web.archive.org/web/20260915040531/https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/09/for-the-first-time-the-us-military-confirms-it-has-deployed-weapons-in-orbit/
>>65511402It's stationing weapons in space literally illegal?
Is that what took out the satellite that the ccp was using to help iran?
>>65511416Only if those weapons are nukes.
>>65511416Invading Ukraine is illegal. Constantly menacing Taiwan is illegal. Being canadian should be illegal. Why should we care about weapons conventions?
>>65511469Ah ok I thought conventional weapons were also out
>>65511471Because we aren't spineless browns and we honour what our predecessors signed?
>>65511473Yo, cool it with the antisemitism bro.
>>65511471You can't tell others to follow rules if you break them too.>don't careYou will when 100 nations decide it's free for all to get nukes.
>>65511473>Spineless brownsHow dare you speak out against our greatest ally.
>>65511414What a coincidence. And today we've got onstagram & tictoc spergs spreading rumours about USA destroying a chinese sattelite that was rumored to be supplying Iran with targetting information on US assets. Of course no proofs.Satellite in question is Yaogan 50-02.
>>65511416That's why there is zero murders or thefts in the world. Because it is illegal. >>65511412>if orange man bad said it then it can't be true!Fuck off to reddit and then kill yourself, in that order.
>>65511472The Soviets normalized defensive weapons in the cold war.
>>65511416No, but there was somewhat of an unspoken rule against it, probably because getting into an orbital arms race would've bankrupted everyone involved until recently.
>>65511469And even that seal has been brokenhttps://www.cnn.com/2024/02/16/politics/russia-nuclear-space-weapon-intelligence/
>>65511471>Constantly menacing Taiwan is illegalNot that I doubt you but what is the specific crime being committed there?Is there something you can go to the ICC for?
Chinks and ziggers have been working on anti satellite weapons for years now, so the we had to make our own counter.
>ObligatoryIf I were a satellite, how might I generate a belt of high energy electrons in the ionosphere from one geomagnetic conjugate point to another?
It's project Excalibur.
>>65511981Isn't that just manned version of Bright Pebbles? or am i mixing up the various Reagan-era SDI programs?
>>65512095Pebbles is a different system.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Pebbles
>>65511665>>if orange man bad said it then it can't be true!>Fuck off to reddit and then kill yourself, in that order.Given the ridiculous amount of lies he's peddling in this second term, it's a good idea to question anything that comes from him. There's no need to be this upset. Calm down and think rationally instead of emotionally.
>>65511675They fact they had 23mm cannons up there was wild.
>>65511402
>>65512126I see. I mixed it up with the suggested but never expanded upon crewed version of pic related.
Beijing malding.
>>65511473>honourThe tell tale U continues to be the single most consistent metric for identifying dogshit posts on this board
>>65512131Believing the opposite of what someone says simply because they lied in the past is a retard's position. The boy who cried wolf isn't just a failure on the boy's part, the townsfolk failed to verify and let a wolf attack them.
>>65512204Nobody said to believe the opposite. Question. It's quite a difference. Furthermore, this isn't really a person who lied once in the distant past, but someone who unleashes a veritable deluge of lies on a daily basis, thus ruining all credibility.
This was the closest we ever got to a deathstar.
>>65511473I have no idea how you SAAR are batting for the Chinks, unless you are some flavor of European or a Mudslime from Pakistan
>>65512262It's a yuropoor.
>>65512269I mean, nowadays you have no idea who's a Zooropean or notHalf their population is Achmeds, from Pakistan and Bangladesh too>t. friends in europe who constantly seethe about bangladeshis and pakis
>>65512131>Calm down and think rationally instead of emotionally.Considering you are acting on emotion...
>>65512417It's logical and rational to not believe someone who has a proven track record of lying constantly. Requiring additional sources and/or looking deeper into their statements is normal.Your comment makes no sense.
>>65512440"I don't like what he says" =/= lying
>>65511507The npt is just gun control on a state level.
>>65512732well no, him lying = lying.and liars lie all the time, meaning that it becomes increasingly difficult to treat anything he says seriously.
>>65512732Like most narcissists, Trump lies constantly. It's honestly easier to list the things he's said that turned out to be true.Or have you seen his tax return?
>>65512191Lol at the Russians complaining when about this when we both offered them SDI and then used a bunch of their research to make it work that they outright gave us to prove that it didn't work (it did, but they were too retarded to actually build it).
>>65512440>>65512750>>65512897It wasn't even Trump, it was the Air Force/Space Force. All of this was started well before anyone even thought about Orange Man Bad.
>>65512940>It wasn't even Trump, it was the Air Force/Space ForceThe anon you're accusing of being reddit was just asking who said the quote, so they knew how seriously to take it.You're the one that made it about tds because you're insisting that Trump be treated as a neutral party with no history of dishonest who should be given the benefit of the doubt.
>>65511665What exploded this time?
>>65512940But Orange Man exists, therefore everything must be about Orange Man.
Your satellites exist at our discretion, BRICS.>Muh Trump and Hegseth!!!!Redditors really can't help themselves with their talking points.
>>65512962No anon you don't fet to gaslight, this started with a TDS sufferer saying that Trump said it therefore it was a lie.
>>65511473Our predecessors signed no WMDs in space. Nothing about telephone pole sized tungsten rods, if we could even afford them in the first place.
>>65512962The point is that this is not something that started even during the first Trump administration, but well before that. The only difference is now Trump probably wants to use it. But in reality, who gives a fuck about Trump at all when the USAF just said we have offensive weapons in space. And yes, I understand he could be talking about just basic bitch ASAT capabilities, but anyone paying attention knows that we have been well beyond basic bitch things on the ASAT front for decades. It's obviously something else.
>>65511981I have a distinct feeling that this is where the Rods from God story really came from. The warhead was supposed to be surrounded by articulating rods of high z material like gold on tungsten. The rods where supposed to steer towards individual targets, warhead detonates, tungsten or gold rod generates a reasonably collimated directional beam of hard x-rays.
>>65511402>JEWISH SPACE LASER NOW ONLINEwho's laughing now goyim
>>65513155>JEWISH SPACE LASERQuite literally
>>65513035>don't believe your lying eyes
>>65513192see >>65511412
>>65512968It's literally every thread. You could talk about kittens and they'll come barging in all foaming at the mouth and screaming how Trump rapes children to death. They're insane.
>>65513360And that literally says what I wrote and the opposite of your claim.
>>65511416The US space weapons announcement is a warning to the chinks. They could easily destroy chink satellites supplying info to Iran
>>65514392If you believe in what you said you are deeply retarded. It would imply that the US would escalate this shitshow into a total war with china. If it's indeed a warning then what ? They'll just say "ok" and continue, warnings don't work when you can't apply them you stupid cunt
>>65514411>It would imply that the US would escalate this shitshow into a total war with chinaKnocking out a satellite isn't total war by any stretch of the imagination.The way that we can tell you're cope-posting is that you assume that the west will give in and just let the dictatorship do what it wants out of fear.The west does not fear dictatorships, it's the other way around.
>>65514440Destroying a satellite can be a casus belli, spy satellites are 100% lawful in international laws idk what you are smoking with your "let the dictatorship do whatever they want" when basically every country on earth is supplying their allies with intel. Imagine the precedent this act would set. idk why you went on a tangent about browns tho, I'm not defending china I'm just calling you a retard, retard.
>>65514443I have a distinct feeling we tether and deorbit "enemy" satellites on a fairly frequent basis. Or you could do what the Russians did and just crash one into something and say "oops".
>>65514459yeah your feelings are so good that this is literally the only time it ever happened.
>>65514461That you know of, retard. What do you think the Shuttle was designed to do, and why did we build a tiny autonomous one?
>>65514459The Roscosmos satellite was derelict and had been derelict for years. The Russians couldn't have caused it even if they wanted to.
>>65514469It just happens to crash into a satellite from a constellation definitely not primarily operated by the DoD directly over Siberia? Maybe.
>>65514467There are literally radars pointed 24/7 at the sky that predict where satellite are and will be. you are just a delusional faggot that knows nothing about space you can stop pretending otherwise. I'm not saying de-orbiting a satellite isn't possible I'm saying :>it would be extremely obvious >it would set a precedent that the US really doesn't want>the other nation could treat it as an act of war It never happened in the past because of those reasons. Of course if the two countries are already at war it might happen, but peacetime ? No.
>>65514507I would invite you homos to read some books.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconic
>>65514443>Destroying a satellite can be a casus belliThe goal post isn't "casus belli", it's "total war". The claim was that attacking a satellite would cause total war.Destroying a satellite is playing a game of "I'm not touching you", it's hybrid war at best.China's Nine Dash Line means that the west gives them casus belli daily, we just don't give a shit and they don't have the might to enforce their claim.>Imagine the precedent this act would setThat the west can and will act on its warnings.You're a shill and the way that we can tell is that you assume the west will refuse to lift a finger against China out of fear of escalation and war.
>>65514280>If it's Hegseth or Trump than it most likely doesn't exist
>>65513035Anyone using the term TDS unironically in the big 26 is either over 55 or Israeli
>>65515168>If it's Hegseth or Trump>>65513035>this started with a TDS sufferer saying that Trump said it therefore it was a lie
>>65515311TDS! TDS! TDS!LEAVE TRUMP ALONE!
>>65511402Exoatmospheric homosexual African Americans
>>65516229So just a laser version of /pol/?
>>65515311TDS will be used as long as you continue to behave the way you have when you were first labeled years ago.
>>65515311At this point TDS can be applied to those who lose their shit over others criticizing Trump, like the guy in this thread having a meltie over others asking for sources.
>>65516322>n-n-no, you pointing out I am losing my shit over Trump actually means that you are the one with TDS
>>65511473It is a bedrock principle of contract law that if one party breaches the contract, the other party is no longer required to perform his side of the deal.It is a well-known fact that many, if not all, of our arms-control treaties with the Russians have been violated by the Russians. Let us presume for a moment that they have also violated the space-based weapons treaty too (big ask, but still). If that is the case, why shouldn't the US be putting weapons in space too?
>>65516627You need professional help.
>>65516640Take your meds.
>>65516635It's only nuclear weapons banned in space. Everything else is fair game.
