Revolution Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Quote Russia wants to put a nuclear weapon into space, US intelligence indicates, in what was described as a “serious national security threat”. Joe Biden was urged on Wednesday night to declassify US intelligence on the military operation, which has been shared with every member of US Congress. The weapons system could be used to target Western satellites in space, potentially knocking out communications and military targeting systems. The US president is understood to have been tracking the threat, described as a “grave” but not “immediate”, for some weeks, according to White House sources. Republican Mike Turner, the head of the House intelligence committee, revealed the existence of the intelligence in a public statement calling on Mr Biden to share it with the public. Sources told ABC News that the intelligence had to do with Moscow seeking to put a nuclear weapon in space. The weapon would not be used against targets on the ground, the sources said, but described the intelligence as “very concerning and very sensitive”. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/14/russia-is-preparing-to-launch-nuclear-weapon-into-space/ https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-plans-brief-lawmakers-house-chairman-warns/story?id=107232293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
