Reply #2: Defending those space assets [View All]

[sweetheart]

Playing devil's advocate... I launch a series of nukes in to space and detonate them. The Electo-magnetic pulse wipes out everything
nearby. Done in a simulataneous attack, all space systems would
shut down.

Combine this with an attack on the primary and backup uplink stations so the EMP destroys the communications to teh space systems
and the early warning radar... and then, like on 9/11 the high tech
systems don't defend against squat... and all the taxpayer has paid
for is a white elephant.

A series of underwater detonations off american coastlines would
create tidal waves that would wipe out ameircan port cities.

I think these fools have forgotten what war is in this interconnected universe. Nobody wins in a space war, if one really
starts... If they want to make it to the next century without killing
80 million americans, the money would be better spent on ending
starvation; AIDS; hepatitis; malaria and striving for first world
healthcare for all citizens of the earth.

Imagine A new president saying, like kennedy once said, that we as
a nation are going to achieve NO starvation deaths anywhere on earth
by 2010. THAT is good defence policy. These fools can't even
defend the country from a bunch of ragtag pilots, Imagine a determined country with nuclear submarines and ballistic missiles.
