we are scared b/c China is the only country in the world that can take out our patriot defense missile system which is run by satelites, also china has the largest military in the world, we have more power but they got the numbers and with there new long range missile technology mixed with there ability to destroy our satelites they are able to hit america

You sound just like all those folks who thought Iraq was going to be a cake walk and look what we've got not 3 years after "Mission accomplished". Iran is 3x the size of Iraq (land & population), they've got a much bigger military than Iraq, & they've got a much more potent air defense system. And China and Russia are Iranian allies. Add that all up and the US would have Major trouble invading Iran.

The US is not scared we are aware of all. We have the most modern spy technology in the world and we need to have in case of any plans of invasion or attacks on our people and our land? They are the ones scared and that is why they progressed and compete so much? They are scared of everyone like paranoid psychotics. We unfortunately have a president that suffers from that same problem. But all and all we are secure, we just need to stop fighting and arguing amongs ourselves and get this war over and done with. Little ole' Iran is not little with China and Russia backing them, on different sides however but still we are aware, and they will not dare to come out in the open but they will put Iran in harms way and Iran's tyranical moron president is going to do just that pose as the patsy thinking he is all balls and brainy with his current plans of getting Nukes. Do you see any of those lil' ole' third world pest holes using the funding for environment? To improve their education system for their children? Or are they getting proper health care? How about feeding the starving? Not! They are funding for nukes to downsize their population by causing a war and then these presidents try to blame it on the US. They all are idiots, they think we are going to provide the arm of genecide for them and then they can remain dictators after a peace treaty has been made. However they are not the sharpest tacs in the box, they will all end up like Hitler and Saddam and Osama, in a hole in the ground hiding like the worms that they are. And then hung! Hang em High bubba.

Well, we depend on intelligence, and the ability to look into countries with our satellites, wouldn't you be suspicious that a secretive communist government is testing rockets that can destroy satellites which could lead to a space arms race which China said they don't support at all? Screw China, and Russia, they could wave their nukes at us all day long but they'll never have in stock the amount of nukes we have. If we weren't so cautious about using nukes, we could just nuke China, Iran, and Russia and put them back in the stone age if we wanted to. We have nothing to be scared of, we have the technology the manpower and the ability to take on any enemy.

Take one piece of equipment , spinning at a mach 90 around the globe...but on a planned trajectory circling with satellites from every other country of the world...then shoot a huge piece of metal ie a rocket, into the center of all those satellites and blow it up....now that one becomes 300 000 pieces of shrapnel blown into the oncoming paths of other satellites, now you have a huge theoretical grinder so to speak cutting everything in its path...when your television wont come on or your on star wont communicate with you and planes start falling from the sky, or ships that depend on gps tracking to make voyages across the oceans start drifting. ask why they might be so nervous...The consequences of blowing up a satellite in orbit could be catastrophic to all in many ways.

I'm not nervous, I'm excited. Perhaps these satellite tests can give us some much-needed pretext for the militarization of space!



I would love to see the US deploy a fleet of space lasers, complete with offensive capabilities.

They are flexing their mussels. Can you imagine what they could do to communication alone if they were to destroy specific ones. You cant be that unintelligent.
