Trump announced the creation of the US Space Forces

30
The US space forces, as a full-fledged type of the country's armed forces, should be formed soon, reports TASS Donald Trump's statement.



Space forces will soon appear in the US, everyone is very enthusiastic about their creation, the president said on Wednesday, speaking to the military on the South Lawn of his residence. The military, together with their families, were invited to celebrate 242's Independence Day.

Recall that the creation of the Space Forces was issued by the American leader 18 June. The Supreme Commander then said that America would not be satisfied with simply maintaining its presence in space, it must "dominate space," and this is very important.

Therefore, I instruct the Pentagon to immediately begin a process that will lead to the appearance of US Space Forces,
he said during the meeting.

Earlier, Trump repeatedly spoke of the need to form such forces. Back in March, speaking to the marines, he said that the new strategy recognizes space as “a zone of hostilities like land, sea and air. And since there is a lot of work to be done in space, then America needs new forces - space forces, the president stressed.

Not so long ago, when discussing defense spending, congressmen raised the question of the possibility of creating a type of armed forces specifically for space. However, the idea was rejected. The initiative was criticized by the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis and the command of the Air Force, who said that the Ministry of Defense is able to ensure superiority in space with available forces without creating a new structure.

      When Russia renamed its Air Force to the Air Forces, I thought that in the very near future the Americans would do the same with envy. I had to wait a few years, but it’s not like Estonians laughing
      By the way, Donald, and wassat not going to rename the police in the police?

                  On February 21, 2008, the SM-3 rocket was launched from the Lake Erie cruiser in the Pacific Ocean and three minutes after the launch [16] it was hit by a USA-247 emergency reconnaissance satellite located at an altitude of 193 kilometers, moving at a speed of 7 m / s [ 580] (17 km / h).

                  Moreover, it was an old version of the rocket, now their range and speed have greatly increased.

              Well, Perucho, well, let the satellites knock down, if only he would not tongue Here, again, the United States sent everyone and with it with pride ... In space, it was forbidden to play war games (although it is clear that up to the times) and here specifically
              .In the new strategy, space is recognized war zonelike land, sea and air.
              It remains to announce a similar thing about the moon, Mars, Venus, and there is Alpha Centaurus. You look, and delegations from outer space will arrive with gifts and a request to consider them neutral entities ...

    Therefore, I instruct the Pentagon start the process immediatelywhich will lead to the emergence of US Space Forces
    As with Trump, everything is simple - Cosmic forces are good (a favorite expression), all that remains is to give an order to immediately announce the supremacy of the United States in space, so that the whole world knows about it and does not pretend.

    Well, if Trump himself admitted that space is like earth. It is worth reminding him that on the earth, who first got up and slippers. The first satellite is Russian, the first person is Russian. So let them sweep out of our cosmos and dig a hole in the mole in the moon. Otherwise, shoot down all potentially military highly like satellites. And not from the military to take for travel 100500mulenov.
