The Militarization of Space: Report to U.S. Congress Outlines U.S. Determination to Establish \u201cSpace Command and Control\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Back in mid-February, the mainstream propaganda machine bombarded us with a slew of reports about \u201cbig bad Russian space nukes<\/a>\u201c, claiming that Moscow is using its technological prowess to build strategic space-based weapons. And while it\u2019s true the Eurasian giant is a cosmic superpower and that it certainly has the know-how to accomplish such a feat, the mainstream propaganda machine conveniently \u201cforgot\u201d to explain why the Kremlin would make the decision to expand its space capabilities. Namely, Russia is indeed planning to deploy a nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapon (ASAT), but there\u2019s a massive difference between having thermonuclear warheads pointed at Earth from space and having a nuclear-powered spacecraft. The Russian military is already in possession of the former, as it was the world\u2019s first operator of the FOBS back in the early 1960s.<\/em><\/p>\n

FOBS, an acronym for the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (\u0421\u0427\u041e\u0411 in Russian)<\/a>, is a thermonuclear weapon system found on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), designed to make their range effectively limitless. China tested its own version of the technology only in 2021, while the United States has been unable to create anything similar. Thus, Moscow has had this capability for well over half a century, so why is there such hype over a supposed nuclear-powered ASAT all of a sudden? It\u2019s exceedingly difficult to ignore the fact that this is being used as yet another excuse to push several warmongering agendas at once. First,\u00a0it furthers the idea that there \u201ccannot be peace\u201d with the Kremlin<\/a>, and second, it gives Washington DC the\u00a0perfect excuse to continue militarizing space<\/a>, started years (or, in reality, even decades) before the special military operation (SMO).<\/p>\n
