An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

“…Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms.”

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: “Space is both a battlefield…”

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

    So we can afford space weapons but not universal health care and basic social safety net programs?

    The U.S. government is already killing aliens on Earth. May as well expand the practice to space.
