Is this why people like Musk is worried about AI becoming out of control ? what happens if these weapons in space turn on their own handlers, send nuclear weapons back to the US for example ?

All these 'threats' that the USA has to meet. In my entire lifetime the people who have fired the most bullets and missiles is by far and away the US. If you genuinely want a safer World, why not take a break from destabilising it.

🇨🇳 Just after the U.S admitted it has space weapons, China broke new records in sea-launched space missions by sending nine satellites into orbit The Gravity-1 rocket lifted off near Shanghai and delivered eight communication satellites for Qianfan. One more "test" satellite rode along, all the way up to 800 kilometers. State media is calling it the world's first sea launch of a broadband megaconstellation. But the timing is what makes this worth a second look… Less than two weeks before this launch, one of China's own satellites, tied to its secretive Yaogan military reconnaissance program, broke apart in orbit for reasons nobody has confirmed. And now, the U.S. Space Force has officially confirmed it has deployed weapons into orbit for the first time. China immediately hit back, telling Washington to "stop preparing for war in space". Makes you wonder what the "test" satellite was that hitched a ride Writers: Bri, Ian

United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: - Russia retains the capability to selectively challenge U.S. interests globally by military and non-military means; - The most dangerous threat posed by Russia to the U.S. is the potential of an escalatory spiral in an ongoing conflict, such as Ukraine, or a new conflict that led to direct hostilities, including the potential deployment of nuclear weapons; - Russia is also building an extensive counter space capabilities to contest U.S. space dominance. Its development of a nuclear counter space weapon poses the greatest single threat to the world's space architecture. - During the past year, the IC assesses that Russia has maintained the upper hand in the war against Ukraine. U.S. led negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv are ongoing. Until such an agreement is met, Moscow is likely to continue fighting a slow war of attrition until they view their objectives have been achieved.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The U.S. military has now publicly acknowledged deploying what it describes as space-control weapons in orbit. Brandon says America’s adversaries should take that capability seriously. But the bigger danger is what happens after the first satellite is destroyed. “You could, in the first half hour to an hour of a space war, see the unintended destruction of basically every satellite in orbit.” That is the nightmare of Kessler syndrome: debris from one destroyed satellite strikes others, generating more debris and potentially creating a cascading failure across orbit. A war in space might begin with precision weapons, but the debris doesn’t care who fired first. Brandon Weichert

Kat Abughazaleh on Breaking Points says the US should codify providing aid to Taiwan in the case of an invasion from China "Any sort of military aid to Taiwan is an absolute last resort. We need to be reinvesting into diplomacy between Taiwan and China. If the Taiwanese people pass a referendum for reunification with China, I'm supportive of that. That is their choice. But invasion is where we draw the line." Ryan Grim clarifies, "does military aid mean shipping weapons or actively participating in and assisting in the defense?" "Shipping weapons. We should not have US troops deployed on Taiwanese soil."
