U.S. Deploys Satellite Jamming System
CNN has an article about a ground-based satellite jamming system that "uses electromagnetic radio frequency energy to knock out transmissions on a temporary and reversible basis, without frying components". Is this just another old school EM jamming technique, or something new? Of course they won't say, citing "operational security" concerns.
"Personally, I want any war the US is in to be very unfair. The point is it win."
If the U.S. uses its military power with discretion you might have a case. For example if the U.S. uses its force to defend itself or others from aggression or to dissuade or to counter aggressive warfare by a rogue nation that is discretion.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of most of the world since Iraq, the U.S. is the rogue nation now engaging in aggressive warfare and invading countries without provocation and based on fabrication. The doctrine of preemptive warfare is rightly setting off alarm bells around the world.
You want "any war the US is in to be unfair". The rest of the world doesn't wany any war the U.S. enters in to to be unfair(based on deceit, aggression and fabrication).
With great power comes great responsibility. The U.S. appears to be increasingly inclined to only exercise its power without exercising responsibility. This leads the rest of the world to being rightly concerned when the U.S. tries to unilaterally impose its will on the rest of the world.
As I pointed out in another post the U.S. is almost certainly signaling Europe/China that if they field the Galileo GPS system in the next couple years the U.S. is going to take it upon itself to field the capability to jam it since unfortunately GPS is dual use technology. If the world moves to using high resolution GPS to land airplanes in bad weather, for example, I assure you they wont appreciate the U.S. unilaterally jamming it even if its temporary and non destructive.
