Biden's national security adviser tried to accuse Russia of allegedly developing a satellite with nuclear weapons

The United States again tried to accuse Russia of allegedly creating weapons for operations in space, this time Moscow was credited with developing a satellite capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, made a corresponding statement.

A White House representative, speaking at a briefing, said that the United States allegedly has data on Russia’s development of satellite weapons with a nuclear charge. Naturally, Sullivan could not provide any evidence for his statement, but as confirmation he cited the fact that Russia vetoed in the UN Security Council the resolution of the United States and Japan on the non-placement of nuclear weapons in space. His logic is simple: since Russia is vetoing, it means it has plans to deploy nuclear weapons in space. And if there are plans, it means that development is definitely underway.

As we have already noted, the United States believes that Russia is developing a satellite capable of carrying a nuclear device

Sullivan stated.

The Russian permanent representative to the UN Security Council, Vasily Nebenzya, refuted the statements coming from Washington, saying that the only goal of the resolution proposed by the United States and Japan was to denigrate Russia. According to him, Moscow is ready to sign a ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons in space “even tomorrow,” but only if the United States refuses to deploy any weapons in space. But Washington doesn’t want to do this.

Be grateful that the Russian authorities do not yet have plans for revenge for the explosions of the joint venture...

Why so modest? I would take it higher, "USA Death Star!!!" and in duplicate... just in case, every case happens.

[Kelwin]

Sullivan is a dunce. Space-based nuclear weapons are a huge financial burden to maintain combat readiness; every five to seven years, remove charges from orbit for maintenance and cleaning and replace them with fresh ones. Not to mention the technical side of the issue..

Satellites - yes. And we had orbital rockets back in the Soviet Union. Sverdlovsk Alkash cut it into scrap metal to please America. This was one of the conditions for loans and support in the 90s.

But in general... He, Sullivan, simply does not understand the essence of the issue - he heard the ringing, but he didn’t understand where it was. Not just a superficial knowledge of the issue, but a complete lack of understanding of what he is talking about with a smart face - this has become the norm in Western politics in recent years.

And further...
Summarizing observations of US policy, we can conclude that if they accuse us of something, it only means that they themselves are working on it. Either successfully - then they squeal that we are about to do it, or not very successfully - then they squeal even louder.

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

Agree. I also don’t understand the meaning of placing nuclear weapons in space. I don’t see any point in calling him there. Hit ground targets? How is this better than launching intercontinental missiles? They also go into space and go out while they are flying towards the target. As long as I remember. There are brain problems in the states. We recruited brainless talking heads who disgrace their country to the whole world..

The point is to launch it from the depths of the country into orbit and it will spin there until the order comes for it to fall anywhere on the planet. R-36O rocket (orbital). It was developed under Nikita Sergeevich. The destruction of those in service and the prohibition of its production under the Humpbacked Dog and the Sverdlovsk Drunkard became one of the main priorities for America..
By the way, they did it in Ukraine.

I don’t know what our Supreme meant, it was not specified, but just recently he said something somewhat vaguely, from which I understood that we have something similar again.

[Kelwin]

How is this better than launching intercontinental missiles?

There are many things, the main thing is the short flight time to the target and late detection of the enemy’s launch, which reduces its reaction time and almost eliminates the possibility of counteraction.
So the idea itself, from a strategic point of view, is quite correct. But this is very expensive and technically difficult. One or two charges are not enough, you need to place hundreds, and with such a scale, the cost of operating the system will be colossal.

[Kelwin]

Most likely they work. That’s why they make such emissions, so that later they can present it as an excuse, saying that we are doing this in response to a threat... And the lunar program, for which super-heavy carriers are supposedly being developed, serves as a screen. Only there most likely is not a nuclear weapons impact component, but a railgun...

[Puz Big]

Well, that means it’s like rocket-carrying nuclear submarines, only manned space orbital platforms are needed))

And let them answer what their Boeing X-37 flies into space with on board?

[megadeth]

There will be only one answer... You need to act like Israel, strike targets of 4 states, and not make excuses to anyone (and not give comments)... IMHO

[Normann]

Yeah, only Israel is supported by half the world, and the other half looks on silently, and the Russian Federation has its only ally, although there are only 60 thousand soldiers and officers there...

[KZAKVO32923]

Bad example! Do you advise us to follow the example of the fascists? Can we at least bring the Soviet Union? Why praise fascist scum?

But with this it flies. Nuclear-powered orbital strike complex. For combat duty and attack on command from orbit.
China is testing approximately the same carrier in orbit. If we wanted, we could generally launch our Avangard into orbit first, but if the mission was cancelled, our device would not be able to land. Therefore, it simply launches from the ground to an ICBM, even through the South Pole.
So Avangard is not intended for preliminary deployment and service in orbit. And the X-37 was created and created precisely for this. And he already carries out such duties.
Apparently the United States is going to deploy a whole group of such devices in orbit on a permanent basis. But we have already been blamed.
But for some reason not China, which also already has an analogue of the X-37.

Donc les USA agitent le "satellite Russe avec des armes nucléaires" comme ils ont agité le fameux flacon
de "destruction massive" avant d'attaquer l'Irak...Mais la Russie n'étant pas l'Irak les USA, pour l'instant, préfèrent y envoyer d'autres chairs à canon..

Thus, the US is brandishing the “Russian nuclear-armed satellite” like they waved the proverbial bottle
"mass destruction" before the attack on Iraq...But since Russia is not Iraq, the United States at the moment prefers to send other chairs with guns there..

[Mike777]

Please Russia shouldn't give a damn about what Washington thinks, if it's possible to develop nuclear space base weapons, go ahead and place these weapons, what ever Washington thinks doesn't matter, Russia should stop listening to Washington the are very deceptive in there actions

[I dare to_notice_]

One more...
He thinks he’ll get a ride this time too.

[evgen1221]

An old American pattern, blaming others for your actions. And it will work just like with Russiagate and so on.

[Normann]

It doesn’t matter to them, whether it works or not, they are the hegemon.

[HAM]

A couple of days ago, Deputy Nebenzi, live on Vesti FM from the states, described what the White House would say...... almost word for word Sullivan gave it out... Jack wanted to cheat - nuclear cannot be placed, it seems, but ordinary - please... I remember Reagan’s pictures with “Star Wars”... the Yankees are “peacekeepers”, the Russians are “aggressors”.... it’s cleverly designed for those who have little understanding of space affairs, and such countries are the majority...

[Normann]

Not countries, the populations of these countries. This will be more correct.

[reaper]

Not everything that the Americans say from the stands is untrue. I remember they said in 21 that Russia was preparing an attack on 404, and ours flatly denied this, calling them provocateurs.
Another thing is that in the current conditions, when the whole West is actually at war against us, the minke whales would not go to hell with their accusations. We will do what we need to do. NATO wants to place nuclear weapons in Poland and Finland.

[Normann]

And we still have a lot of red markers)) It’s clear and understandable that this is a joke, but...

[nik-mazur]

The United States believes Russia is developing a satellite capable of carrying a nuclear device

And here are the proof guys:

[Hitriy Zhuk]

It is enough to build a satellite with a reactor.
Big.
And if so, drop it.

[TiRex]

dirty bomb :), the damage as such is small

[Hitriy Zhuk]

Well, fuel rods from such and such a height...
Almost small meteorites.
The Americans tried (and maybe even brought it to mind, but don’t stare) to drop tungsten rods from orbit, they say the effect is like a kiloton charge, if not better, but try to shoot it down again.
On the other hand, a reactor is not needed, fuel rods and a powder engine are enough.

[_DD_]

Well, yes, the Russian Federation has such a thing called Tug Zeus, but what is it and what is the reason for the shaking?

[Hitriy Zhuk]

Tug Zeus

Damn, there is nothing to call Perun, or better yet some Juno, Sunset, or something else.
They forgot how to name ships.

[Junkman George]

The only "nuclear threat" I have first hand knowledge of is Biden's soiled diapers.
Everything else is just fiction.
