So are Republicans saying that Russia is the bad guy or not?
A Republican is grand standing about information he’s being briefed on during a meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
So my Spidey sense says no. There is no reason to do what Turner did today. Unless you’re an idiot. Or you want to indirectly tell people such a briefing is happening.

Just in time for a potential second Trump presidency. Let’s make sure we have a bunch of cutting edge nuclear shit ready for him to use, steal and/or sell if he takes office. Great!
This is concerning

If Russia is talking openly about it, I’m sure they’ve already done it.
Lately it means they tried, failed, but want people to think they’re still as capable as the Soviet Union. Which they aren’t. Haven’t been for decades. Much of Soviet engineering might came from Ukraine. It’s part of why Pootin so desperately wants to subjugate them again.
Haven’t they already put cannons in space? This seems like the next logical step.
Is there a reason they can’t use a conventional warhead to destroy a satellite? Even if they wanted to use it to attack a surface there isn’t a lot of evidence that a normal ICBM can be reliably intercepted so I doubt them being in space will change much.
Edit: *surface target
russia’s space program is sort of shit these days though?
