  1. Russian nukes in space? Are we stuck in a 1960’s Bond film?

  2. Republicans are the national security threat and are mostly compromised by Russia.

  3. It would be a clear violation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, but Russia can act with impunity because they know Trump and MAGA have their backs.

  4. And didn’t Russia just launch the Soyuz-2-1v with a Classified payload 5 days ago….now this? Call me a conspiracy theorist… But this isn’t good.

  5. A nuclear detonation in space would destroy nearly all satellites (weather, communications, scientific, navigation/gps and national security) but would also create a debris field lasting decades.

    It would be an act of War.

    A nuclear warhead in space can reach the earth not in the 23-35minutes of an land based launched ICBM.. but in 45-120 seconds.

    It would be an act of War to place nuclear weapons in space.

    And I HATED Trump’s idiotic Space Force for exactly this reason… an arms race in space

  6. and the US has put its space program in the hands of Putin’s friend. This is why you don’t privatize everything.

    Republicans are a danger to this country.

  7. “Two sources … said the intelligence has to do with Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon into space. This is not to drop a nuclear weapon onto Earth but rather to possibly use against satellites.”

    On average, 200-400 space junk objects enter Earth’s atmosphere every year, about one every day, so I think I’ll worry.

  8. Shit, I hope we’re all paid up on our NATO account. 

  9. Russia tearing up the Outer Space Treaty would be a suitably big deal for all the news. 

    Nukes in space are absolutely banned, signed by every country capable of it. 

  10. This seems like exactly something Russia would do.

  11. How long until trump says Russia should be allowed to have nukes in space?

  12. Russia has had plans for nukes in space since at least the late 60’s. We had agreed to ban them with one of the several nuclear non-proliferation treaties that some orange turd removed us from.

    It’s called fractional orbital bombardment, it’s a first strike weapon. You detonate a very large warhead outside the atmosphere above the US to knock out our electronics with EMP before launching a first strike. If the have launched on into space, it is considered a hostile act with a weapon of mass destruction and indicates they consider themselves at war with the US.

    not a good state of affairs.

  13. And Trump be like, yes go right ahead

    *starts dancing and pretends he’s stroking two ghost cocks*

  14. So if anyone wants to understand something Russian military launched Cosmos 2575 on February 9th. It is on a similar orbit supposedly as Cosmos 2574. The launch was not livestreamed and like most military launches what was put up was not disclosed.

    The really weird thing is that the satellite tracking sites I have looked up so far are not showing it registered in the system possibly meaning it hasnt been tracked yet or the orbit not disclosed from NASA. There might be a correlation in the timing of that launch, the tracking not showing publicly, and this national security threat.

  15. Republicans who support DJT? You know Putin’s puppet? Interesting…

  16. Wait, Republicans are now once again distrusting of Russia? Must be politically advantageous again.

  17. I’m sorry but they have handled this like clowns. National security threat! But confidential! All with smirks on their faces. This is not good. Someone tell me this is how politicians who serve us should act?

  18. Back when Trump was pushing his dumb space force nonsense one of the chief criticisms was that it would create a legitimate case for other countries to weaponize space. Kind of seems like that was the whole point of doing that since we didn’t actually do anything useful with that idea.

  19. Hopefully this convinces the pro-russian portion of the republican party to rethink their position.

  20. Guess who will let them do it? Their fucking presumptive nominee

  21. Odds on this pushing Ukraine funding through the house?

  22. The national security advisor wanted to brief them in private, what appears to be happening here is republicans are trying to let Putin know exactly what we know and what we don’t know. This is what chickens coming home to roost looks like. We didn’t take care of these traitors when we should have, and now they’re giving our intel about Russia to Putin.

  23. Republicans will spin this as either Bidens busy supplying weapons to Ukraine he forgot to ‘stop’ Russians from doing this

    Or

    Biden provoked Russia into this

    Or

    This is fake intelligence scaremongering by the corrupt intelligence community

    I’m being cynical yes but last years made me so

  24. I’m more and more convinced Putin is dying and wants to burn the whole world down on his way out

  25. Sen Johnson: “Russia wants Nukes in space? Putin is so smart we should just surrender already.”

  26. So it seems that Russia wants to blow up a nuke, in space, so they can destroy a bunch of satellites.

  27. >A letter sent to members of Congress from Turner and Himes, **obtained by ABC News…**

    The fact that the media is constantly getting their hands on documents and information that is supposed to be classified or confidential concerns me sometimes. Sure, I get the fact the media loves to scream, “the public has a right to know”, but considering that a substantial portion of the American public still wants to vote for a guy twice impeached and with 4 active criminal cases, I don’t think it’s always helpful for the public to know everything.

  28. I thought the trump base told us that putin is the good guy… how could this be? /s

  29. We will never EVER really know which classified documents went home to Mar a Lago unfortunately.

  30. This proves that the GOP congressional scum who support Russia are themselves a threat to national security and need to be removed from office immediately. Forcefully, if necessary.

    People who are stupid enough to support a malignant foreign power who *has nuclear missiles pointed at them* are too stupid to be anywhere near public office.

    Get them the fuck out of there.
