  1. We should have defences in space that would wipe out any ICBMs before they reach targets. This should be deployed and used to keep peace. These leaders on our planet that insist on dominating the world are a threat to human and other life on this planet to survive. I can only hope that we can ask and receive help in stopping any nuclear weapons being used ever. I know there are other species out there and on earth that can with their advanced technology stop this genocide of evil, I know they have an eternal soul as I do, pleace help us. If not I hope God interceded and protects the innocent people that believe and love him, as fore told in our bible. God bless this world and all of you that know what I'm talking about.

  2. 13:33 – So you meant you won't conduct these tests… anymore, right?!?! or we all just forgot cold war!? | 15:12 – Oh it is sooo convenient to say, oh I won't talk about US weapons in space but I sure will talk about the very very bad Russian and Chinese weapons and tests…. of course, because the only ones permitted to have weapons in space are the US or wtf are you saying?!? | 16:10 – So US signed the "Peaceful Exploration of Space" treaty and ok, let's see: A. No military bases on the moon- No, US doesn't have any (that we know of) B. Testing nuclear weapons- YES the US has tested nukes in space (so wtf) … and C. Conducting Military Maneuvers- Errrr YES, the US CONDUCTS military maneuvers in space (so again wtf) OH and the budget for Space Force is only 6 billion less than the entire Human Space Exploration Program of NASA.. (oh buhuu it is just a fraction of the budget of the other military branches, almost brings tears to my eyes.. again wtf?!?) | 16:45 – wait what?!?! the director of NASA is ex-military ex-general?!?! u kidding me?!?! | 20:29 – Intercepting asteroids?!?! there is NO asteroid interception system proven to work yet, not by NASA, not by Russia, not by China, so now you are the geniuses that all of a sudden will redirect a planet killer?!?! (I almost peed my pants with laughter at this one, that pee being as unreal as this supposed asteroid stopping system) 23:40 – Somebody shut that clown up, instead of planning for war, explain how Space X has done the equivalent of 40+ years of NASA in like 5 years and with brand new ships, unlike that 10-year-old recycle bin you call Artemis. Oh but let's defend our historic landing site with our crappy NASA policies and outdated spaceships (somebody give this man a tablet with only youtube on it so he can catch up!) | 23:54 – So yeah, we (the US) want peace in space and the moon so let's fill it up with guns (on top of what we[the US] already have, and conveniently forgetting that the first weapons in space were put there by the US) — tha foc is wrong with u US?!?! u just want to fight everywhere u can!, I get that your main product IS war, but does it know any limits?!?!

  3. Well for one I would rather have a war in space &
    not on earth where we all live I can live without my phone or my satellite navigation my sat nav and my smartphone but I cannot live without my planet and I think it's time the us started to show Russia and China how capable the US is they would be horrified but if that's the road Russia and China and the Iranians want let's face it all Muslim countries as well if they want to try play Dirty so be it. Bring it on let's get swords and shields and maces and hack each other two pieces let me men Chinese are only little men littel boy cry babies they are cowards they have absolutely no understanding or experience on how to make a war machine work seamlessly they will stumble and fall at the first sign of trouble stand up to them now not later. and smash them into pieces[ F ] CHINA

  4. Usually the US is the bad guy in foreign policy and war and, if that proves too contentious, then certainly the grandest, moralizing hypocrite the world has seen since the glory days of imperial Spain. Enslaving you with a signum crucis for your own salvation. Carpet bombing you for your freedom and prosperity. That said, this blatantly intentional space debris spraydown of e'ryone's black backyard (including that of Russia and the PRC, both of which have a substantial present and likely more pronounced future presence in the heavens), is simply phoey and foul. Therefore, I advise DARPA, the RFARP, and SASTIND to prioritize the production of a mean, clean, and comercially keen shrapnel shredding screen to mitigate that motile mess 'a metal o'erhead – as well as the cosmic one Starlink's about to lob into the LEO (low Earth orbit) with Soviet starships. How'd that comment go?
