Russian Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov told the Interfax News Agency on Monday that the Russians have not put weapons in space, and have no intention of putting any weapons in space “first,” saying this is an important position the US should not ignore.
The international community has long warned against the militarization of space. Ryabkov’s comments appear to address US pushes to establish a massive “Space Force” in the military, which they suggest is necessary to ensure “dominance.”
US officials have played up the idea of facing challenges in outer space that oblige them to launch such a buildup. Russian officials clearly intend to warn the US away from this on the grounds that they haven’t gone all-in on space yet, but are prepared to respond if necessary.
Most US hype lately has centered around speculation of secret Russian weapons. Earlier this month, officials claimed a Russian satellite was behaving unusually as evidence it might be up to no good. There is no evidence that the inspector satellite has done anything untoward.
I would say Russia has the capability to put nuclear weapons in space in short notice on a grand scale with their rocket engines that they have been selling us . Putin is very relaxed and has cut his military spending by almost 20 % He would not do this considering we have Russia about surrounded and are threating to attack him every day . Putin is not stupid , He has issued us several warnings that our mainstream media refuses to report . It is us the American people that don’t know what is going on .
Save it comrade .Putin started building up after ,it’s hybrid war campaign in Ukraine got him kicked out the G-8 and shunned by the free world .Now that he’s modernized his navy and ,added Satan 2 Hypersonic missiles to his arsenal he’s feeling himself. Obama did allow a hypersonic missile program that was designed to scatter and ,avoid defensive mechanisms by scattering in mass population zones but,this concept in space is something that has been in existence for some time and now is the right occasion for its arrival. America has perfected a laser capability also that Russia knows can do to its latest fighter jet. America uses them daily in the Black Sea and our nuclear capable submarines make sure our Russian comrades don’t get out of hand. It must suck Russia has to sell it’s energy resources and rockets to the very people who are using them to destroy them but, I guess since the Ruble is so worthless everything is for sell.Hahaha It’s not like anyone wants anything else y’all have I mean what do y’all make that’s desirable? Even the people y’all help put in power are undesirable, look what happened in Ukraine because, the puppet president wouldn’t listen to his people that wanted to join the European Union and out of Russia’s sphere of influence, look at what most people in America think about Trump .Russia just because nobody likes Putin doesn’t mean you have to meddle in our elections, I’m sorry Putin won’t give y’all your country back but,fix your country’s problems before you stick your noses in our affairs.
No, w Bush ended the anti-ballistic missile treaty with Russia, which was in place since 1972, in 2001. Bush proceeded to deploy those systems in eastern Europe. The Russian response, was to develop hypersonic missiles. I know you want to blame Obama, for some reason, but you are totally wrong.
Obama inherited a country in recession because ,the simultaneous wars we where fighting drug America into recession. A military sequester allowed our adversaries an advancement to develop more lethal nuclear arsenals. The space nuke concept is a project that has been in process for years, it’s just now we’re actually inclined to use this capability due to Russia’s claims of invincible nuclear missiles. If Russia doesn’t want America to have unstoppable nuclear arsenals maybe, they should shut there big mouths and stop bragging about there capabilities. It’s that simple. Russia you started a new more deadlier nuclear arms race .Congrats.
My, is this delusional or what. Nobody is claiming that US is not powerful,
but only that it is not wise to be arrogant, complacent, and threaten others with impunity. And all along pretending we are fighting some villany identified in others, while we avart our gaze from our depressing track record around the globe.
The whole point is simple, but simplicity evades you. Russia is committed to one defensive policy: never again to allow war to be fought on its territory. Russia is still paying the demographic consequences of WWII. So, think this one through. All the weaponry announced March 1, is guided by this defense strategy. It is not secret. The capabilities are not secret. Just because media choses to ignore them. Also, media fantasies about strange satelite is such one silly device, aimed at us, the idiots, to buy one more program to enrich thousands of unsatiable Daddy Warbucks.
Thus, Russia knows what it is up against, knows exactly what it must prevent, and exactly what to do to neutralize threat, and what to do to respond both defensively and offensively.
Listen very carefully to the following. We are the ones who are clueless as to our aims, have no defensive strategy, and are only wide eyed when it comes to whatever next fancy weaponry we can dream off. This is no way to fight wars — we do not know OURSELVES, a major sin in war strategy. And we only THINK we know others, another major sin.
