— Putin and Shoigu rn (right now):

Admin comment:
— Red Alert memes and Jokes about Xeno Aggression aside, at this point it's almost obvious that United States Intelligence made some discovery about Russian Anti-Satelite/Anti-ISR weaponry capabilities

Anyone who watched Putin's interview understands well that once the "Stars" fall to Earth, the West is, in practical terms, blind and deaf.

— Perhaps, if we consider it in practical terms, this is one of the points why Elon Musk supports the idea of peace as soon as possible, since technically, SpaceX's Low Orbit Satellites, Starlink, are used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for fast comms purposes at the frontlines

🇷🇺☢️🚀 I’m sure additional Information will be released in the coming days, but the current “Wording” seems to indicate that the Russians are attempting to get Nuclear Weapons into Space but haven’t yet; however, with the multiple Soyuz-2 Rocket Launches since December including the Cosmos-2575 Mission on February 9th, they are likely getting Close.

Information about the Launch on February 9th:

On February 9th, the Cosmos-2575 Mission was launched by Roskosmos using a Soyuz-2 Rocket carrying an “Unknown Payload into Space for the Russian Ministry of Defense.”

🇷🇺☢️🚀 October 16th 2023: Russia Warns Western Nations over Space Satellites Used to Help Ukraine

The armed conflict in outer space may be more than just science fiction as Russia has issued a warning that Western space satellites used in conflicts may become a "legitimate target" for Russian strikes.

This remark came from Vladimir Ermakov, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s non-proliferation and arms control department, who criticized Western countries for compromising the sustainability of peaceful space activities by utilizing civilian satellites for military purposes.

He also questioned the legality of using satellites for military purposes, citing concerns within the framework of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

The Outer Space Treaty, in effect since October 10, 1967, prohibits the stationing of weapons of mass destruction in outer space and bans military activities on celestial bodies. It establishes binding regulations governing the peaceful exploration and use of space, emphasizing its exclusive use for peaceful purposes.

Russia has long accused Washington and its allies of employing space and aerial reconnaissance assets to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with critical information about Russian military activities. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the orbital constellation comprises approximately 450 satellites, primarily commercial Earth remote sensing and radiotechnical monitoring satellites. These satellites play a pivotal role in target identification, reconnaissance, and intercepting radio communication messages.

In addition to space systems, reconnaissance aircraft, and UAVs, daily flights from air bases in various European countries are utilized to monitor the situation. The data gathered is analyzed by US forces in Europe and NATO to assess Russian troop movements, a crucial component of their strategic military operation. The processed information is then transmitted to the Armed Forces of Ukraine through multiple communication channels, including satellite communications systems like SpaceX's Starlink.

🇺🇸 “I think the next war will be cyber and space.”

United States Space Force was the butt of jokes when it was created as the sixth branch of the military four years ago.

But it's now clear Space Force could become our most important defender.

🇦🇪❌🇺🇸 UAE restricts US ability to launch retaliatory airstrikes against Iran proxies

Some Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, are increasingly restricting the U.S. from using military facilities on their soil to launch retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian proxies, according to four people familiar with the issue.

Amid a rising civilian death toll in Gaza, several Arab countries, particularly those “attempting a detente with Iran,” are “increasingly restricting” the U.S. and partners from conducting self-defense operations from their soil, according to the U.S. official. This includes limits on retaliatory strikes against attacks in Iraq, Syria, and the Red Sea, the official said.

Certain Arab countries are restricting access to basing and overflight for the assets participating in these retaliatory strikes, the official said. It’s not clear how many countries are taking this action.

The reason the UAE in particular is doing this, per one of the Western officials, is “they don’t want to appear like they’re against Iran and they don’t want to appear too close to the West and Israel for public opinion reasons.” The UAE has in recent years also raised concerns about increasing attacks from the Houthis in Yemen. The rebel group has previously launched missiles into the UAE.
