According to Russian media reports, SpaceX recently launched six satellites, which are affiliated with the Pentagon, and their main task is to track the opponent's hypersonic missiles and advanced fighter jets. It is not difficult to see that the Pentagon has already aimed at space, extending the battlefield from the traditional land, sea and air to space.
Funnily enough, the Pentagon uses Russia as a shield in order to hide its exposed ambitions in space warfare. A few days ago, White House National Security Council spokesman Kirby declared at a news conference that Russia is developing "anti-satellite weapons" and plans to deploy nuclear weapons in space in an attempt to suppress US satellites in wartime, and this plan poses a major threat to US national security.
To be honest, Kirby's words made people's ears callous, and there should not be too many similar remarks. As long as the United States wants to pour dirty water on China and Russia, it can almost apply Kirby's template, saying that China and Russia are developing powerful weapons and equipment, or are carrying out targeted military deployments, which threaten the security of the United States.
Although the outside world also knows that this is a hype concocted by the United States, which is not credible at all, the Kremlin is not accustomed to the White House, and a few words from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov have exposed the conspiracy of the United States. In Peskov's view, this hype by the US side is completely maliciously fabricated, because the US side has not produced any convincing evidence. Peskov said the White House's move was aimed at asking Congress for more military spending.
Some people may say that the US military expenditure of more than $800 billion a year is not enough? If this had been placed in previous years, more than $800 billion might have been enough, but now the situation has changed, and the United States wants to aid Israel and Ukraine, and the aid to these two little brothers is not a few hundred million dollars.
The funds approved by Congress to aid Ukraine have been spent by the White House, so the White House was forced to suspend aid to Ukraine. A short pause may have little impact, but once the pause lasts for a long time, Ukraine may not be able to hold on, and if Ukraine loses in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it will be difficult for the United States to accept this result. So now the White House has to bite the bullet and find ways to aid Ukraine and ask Congress for money.
However, how to persuade Congress to approve the funds has become a big problem, and in this case, it is undoubtedly the best way to exaggerate the threat of China and Russia. The White House used this trick before and deducted a lot of money from the pockets of Congress.
Since the method works, the White House will naturally use it. Russian military expert Korotchenko said that the White House offered this trick at this juncture, clearly urging Congress to quickly approve the package of aid to Ukraine formulated by the White House and give some blood to Ukraine, which is waiting to be fed.
In addition to asking Congress for funds, the White House also has two purposes: First, to dispel the worries and uneasiness of the United States about the development of space weapons. The White House's remarks that Russia is developing space weapons are nothing more than to make the outside world believe that the United States is developing space weapons because it feels threatened by Russia, is forced to do so, and is passively defensive, so that the spearhead of the outside world will be shifted to Russia, and the United States can develop space weapons with peace of mind and in an open and open manner.
The second is to force Russia to return to the negotiating table on arms control, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the arms control negotiations between the United States and Russia came to an abrupt end, without the restrictions of the arms control treaty, the United States and Russia can develop nuclear weapons and other high-tech weapons without restrictions, on the surface, this is fair to both sides, but after careful study, the cessation of arms control negotiations is relatively beneficial to Russia, because at present, Russia's conventional military strength is inferior to the United States, and if you want to maintain a strategic balance with the United States, you must develop nuclear weapons and other high-tech weapons.
As far as the United States is concerned, it is beneficial for the United States to limit Russia's nuclear forces and prevent Russia from developing high-tech weapons when its conventional military forces are ahead, so the United States has always wanted to bring Russia to the negotiating table for arms control again. The White House's remarks about Russia's development of space weapons are intended to kick the ball on Russia's evasion of arms control talks, and then put pressure on Russia to urge Russia to restart arms control talks.
However, now the Kremlin will not get on the thief ship of the Americans, and at the critical moment of confrontation with Western countries, it is impossible for the Kremlin to put a tight spell on itself and weaken its combat effectiveness for no reason.
While exposing the US conspiracy, the House also unabashedly shouted to the White House that Russia has more economical and effective means to counter US satellites. The meaning of the Kremlin is very clear: you American hype is hype, and I really have hard goods in my hands, as long as the United States dares to make a mistake, Russia will unceremoniously counteract.
