Pentagon, Space Force and aerospace industry language, ideology, is important. Without a doubt space is the high ground of all warfare now, space satellites are key. When they say space domain awareness like in Vision 2020 they now openly declare space is U.S. sovereign territory including the moon and Mars. Some of the military actually use this language in forums as a comparison to when Britain and Spain fought over marine dominance.
There is no discussion anywhere of sharing the cosmos with any other country. In fact the main competitor China is described in terms of total removal from space activity. The Chinese lander on the far side of the moon has them somewhat worried, it is a pretty significant accomplishment.
Coming off Ukraine and Iran the U.S. plan is to rebuild the domestic war manufacturing infrastructure focusing on one way attack cheap drones, Patriot type interceptor missiles and hypersonic interceptors for the Golden Dome. Directed energy weapons are still not a reliable weapon.
The goal is to integrate earth and space into a seamless fabric of high-tech war. The big rush to build data centers and AI are part of this. Hegseth is moving all military branches to a model of autonomous war from sea to space, assuming many command centers may be lost in a coming war and the task of rebuilding in time of war will require super capabilities.
And nuclear reactors to power all these far flung missions from drones to the moon and Mars.
China and Russia are the imagined aggressors which supply the immediate rational for more spending, driven by the old guard war profiteer class. A number of Zionist war profiteers are relocating to the U.S. rebranding themselves to get in on this flow of money. The NDAA is just a formality for what is already in process.
One current scenario propagated is that the U.S. lacks in everything compared to Russia and China. We are so victimized. Therefore what we must prepare for is that Russia might think they are going to lose if they don’t act soon so they will launch multiple nuclear weapons into space at low earth orbits to destroy the U.S. satellite communications and control capabilities. Bit of a contradiction there but it serves to get funding.
To that end the Space Command is rushing thousands of satellites into orbit, thanks a lot to Elon Musk with a plan to also integrate commercial satellites into military control. Redundancy is the current counter to a possible detonation of nuclear weapons in low earth orbit. A large number of space launch facilities are being build worldwide for getting more satellites up in space. And the Kessler Effect is starting also.
But overall China is the main target.
