As Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has said before, his priorities are “China, China, and China.” His keynote address at the Air Force Association Air, Space & Cyber Conference continued that trend, talking up the possibility of space warfare against China.
Kendall warned China has the potential to “actually put weapons in space,” and likening the situation to the Cold War. He further warned China might be able to make attacks effectively undetectable for early warning systems.
This is almost a perfect, tailor-made talking point for the US military, as it facilitates potentially endless spending on space warfare simply to counter what China might do. This was the whole justification for the US Space Force, and its appetite for wildly expensive weapons systems of dubious use, in the first place.
Space Operations Chief Gen. John Raymond has been talking up the growing capabilities of China to deny America access to space, vowing “we can’t let that happen,” and saying the US must be prepared for this fight.
It’s not clear why the US military is so convinced China wants to either fight America in space or try to deny them access to space. Either way, the officials agree that the answer is expensive preparedness and amassing weapons for the presumptive battle. As with the Cold War, this could go on more or less forever, or until one side just runs out of money.
People like him need to be locked up for 40 years.
Well, but he’s showcasing the great skill and training, lying, of the US cadre.
It’s a damn good idea. Get rid of nuclear pollution from 1930’s technology and go to small guided meteorites. Imagine a twenty foot crater smack dab in the middle of the pentagon. No pollution and the world’s problems solved unstoppable and cheap. A few craters at major bridge supports and the war is over before it started, pollution-free. Meanwhile idiots in congress are voting another ten trillion to modernize tech from the last century. Could this be why Israel is scared silly of Iran? Does Iran already have precision guided meteorites?
“From 2012 to 2017 he served as the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics in the Obama administration.”
In addition to the policy changes he initiated and executed under the “Better Buying Power” initiatives he directly oversaw over 50 of the largest defense weapons programs…”
This guy is a shop aholic for the empire and with his blown up Chinese dragon as his bogyman. Its off to waste $ instead of using $ for BETTER things…
“until one side just runs out of money”
Half-way there already.
The cry for more money
“until one side just runs out of money”
We know the godless commies won’t have the god on their side so is there really anything to worry about?
If there was a god he / she would have turned America to ash long ago , so lucky for the Americans there isn`t one.
He is a major backer of the B-21. Over 1/2 billion for a flying battleship? This is the looking backwards but very very profitable bs this guy loves? Now he wants to build red white and blue[cha-ching] forts in outer space. Toxic nightmare folks.
“until one side just runs out of money”
And guess which side that will be.
Guess they’ll need another “Pearl Harbor-like” event.
works every time
Well, of course, Manifest Destiny knows no boundaries. Bring on new dimensions too !
For F sake!
Next we’ll be believing that the “evil Reds” have amassed an army of millions of androids.
Since war-in-the-age-of-nukes is global Russian roulette, the answer is, at long last, to start the process of finally bringing the long, criminal habit of imperial militarism and capitalist war-for-profit to an end.
Since almost all of its high-tech systems are contracted out, the DOD has lost the ability to keep its own secrets. It may be the Chinese and Russians already have -or in a white-knuckle crisis, will have- leaked to them the code to render the US/NATO systems inoperative.
Further, mauling helpless nations is one thing, but given the quality of US cadre evident over the last 30 yrs, it looks like the only thing China & Russia have to worry about is an accident.
