US Warns on Russia's New Space Weapons (reuters.com)

The United States voiced deep suspicion on Tuesday over Russia's pursuit of new space weapons, including a mobile laser system to destroy satellites in space, and the launch of a new inspector satellite which was acting in an "abnormal" way. From a report: Russia's pursuit of counterspace capabilities was "disturbing," Yleem D.S. Poblete, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance, told the U.N.'s Conference on Disarmament which is discussing a new treaty to prevent an arms race in outer space. A Russian delegate at the conference dismissed Poblete's remarks as unfounded and slanderous. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at the Geneva forum in February, said a priority was to prevent an arms race in outer space, in line with Russia's joint draft treaty with China presented a decade ago.

    He asked intelligently, you failed to respond intelligently.

    Point to the intelligent part of his comment. Even Trump's legal counsel has had to walk back from "no collusion" to "collusion is not a word in the code so it can't be a crime" which is, of course, a load of horse shit. We therefore know that there has been collusion, since they have shifted to attempting to justify it, and the only question is what the scope of the collusion was/is. Hence, anyone who has been paying attention knows that there was collusion. They claimed they were talking about adopting orphans, now they've admitted that was not the case, etc etc.

    I can't tell the difference between someone with TDS and a paid writer on here,

    I can't tell the difference between idiots who believe in TDS, and the paid writers they got the idea from, and neither can anyone else — especially when they post as AC. You could be anyone, including a sock puppet or a paid agitator, and you probably are.
