China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon
schnippy writes "U.S. intelligence agencies believe that China has successfully tested an anti-satellite weapon by destroying one of their old weather satellites. The test, if confirmed, would be an order of magnitude more provocative than earlier reports of Chinese blinding lasers being. Arms Control Wonk has a good writeup on what this will mean for U.S. policy."
US sattelite probably infringed on Chinese airspace.
From the Chinese viewpoint they own not only the land but the entire column of space above it.
US should train sharks with lasers attached to their heads to counter this threat.
Mobile,virtually undetectable and best of all cheap.
How is that trolling? The US didn't invade Iraq? I must have mis-read 3 years of news. Terribly sorry. Unless Iraq directly attacked the US, my point stands. Modding it as "trolling" doesn't change a fucking thing, no matter how uncomfortable questioning your own country's past is. Grow the fuck up.
