NATO Secretary General broadcasts US idea on militarization of space

28

It has long been no surprise that the Secretary General of NATO voiced ideas that are consistent with Washington’s interests. This time, the Secretary General of the Western military bloc expressed the hope that outer space would be recognized by the international community as "the sphere of military activity."

Recall that at the moment there is an agreement from 1967 of the year that governs the activities of countries in space. In particular, under the agreement, the participating States have committed themselves to supporting the ban on the placement in outer space of any weapons mass destruction.



The United States decided that it was time to terminate this agreement. And in order for the initiative to look like it came from a “broad team”, they decided to connect a “talking head” to the case, which Jens Stoltenberg once again made for himself.

From a statement by the NATO Secretary General:

I expect that the ministers will decide on the recognition of outer space as a sphere of military activity at the level of air and ground spheres and cyberspace.

It is important to note that the 1967 treaty of the year, to which the USA, Great Britain and Russia are parties (as the successor of the USSR), does not actually prohibit the deployment of “conventional” weapons in outer space. If the United States promotes the idea of ​​recognizing outer space as a sphere of military activity, then this can mean virtually one thing: use the opportunity to bring weapons of mass destruction to new, in the literal sense of the word, heights.

Russia previously proposed to begin negotiations on the possible expansion of the parties to the agreement on space activities. This is relevant when you consider that today a number of countries (in addition to the original signatories to the treaty) are engaged in space exploration: France, China, Israel, India.

The United States, through the NATO Secretary General, is broadcasting the idea of ​​militarizing outer space without attention to other representatives of the international community and global security issues.

          Yes, I don’t argue that the navel was torn .. But the plans themselves were huge! Now, after all, science has galloped forward .. and the materials and technology are different .. Unless the laws of physics have remained unchanged ..

      The United States is calculating the risks in space, the NATO secretary general declares space as a sphere of military activity. Well, only one conclusion suggests itself: missile defense elements and anti-satellite systems will be carried into space. And possibly shock systems. Everything goes to the creation of a combat space station. There were such projects in the USSR. Today, with modern technology, this is much more realistic. Yet we have heard Trump's claims that the US is developing "fantastic" weapons. The role of the X-37 is likely to be in the implementation of intelligence functions. In this way, the United States is implementing its strategy of a rapid global strike.

            I’ll tell you one secret - any spaceship can do this. laughing It all depends on its engine. For example, communication satellites maneuver on the GSO by changing the inclination of their orbits thanks to the EPP. And our "Soyuz" with the "Progress" on the LPRE get to the station. Yes, even the upper stage "Fregat" can simultaneously put the payload during launch into three different orbits with different inclination.

                          There is no desire to argue with you. The platform, which has been in space for a year, already raises a lot of questions. Regarding "knocking down the ILV". Compare the defense budgets of the Russian Federation and the United States. Next, look at the number of THAAD missiles in the US. Draw conclusions about the cost of the Nudol complex and guess its amount. Then open the article on VO about US missile defense. Carefully! read the comments on the article. Determine for yourself the percentage of successful destruction of ICBM warheads. Collect all the data obtained in a heap, do a little analysis and answer yourself: "can the ILV be able to hit an object maneuvering at altitudes up to 750 km?" And in addition, read about the A-925 missile, which is positioned as a long-range intercept missile. In addition, the constellation of satellites:
                          USA-400
                          RF-140
                          Modestly keep silent about the number of GLONASS satellites. We will use them during the database? Do not forget about the ICBMs that need to be shot down.

Simply put, there is no substitute for them. Why, guess yourself. Nervous?))) I’m just wonderingly wondering how you will shoot this Boeing with Nudole. This is not a problem for you. Although, according to your comments, you can knock him off with a hat.
