Starlink stock gonna take a hit on this one
Isn't Starlink stock.
1.) Fractional Orbital Bombardment System
2.) Orbital nuclear weapons delivery platform
3.) New orbital ASAT capability
Take your pick they all fit.
X-37 nuclear installation platform
Okay, good. So just the GOP trying to drum up a super scary distraction from their opposition to doing anything about the border or supporting America's allies. I'm sure this is just as scary as that 'East Coast destroying nuclear torpedo' of theirs.
If anything this undercuts them opposing Ukraine aid. Russia is trying to escalate, so they clearly need to be shut down, and we conveniently have an Ally working to do that right now, an Ally that has a pending aid bill before that very chamber.
The number of times I've accidentally murdered my entire squad with an orbital strike in Helldivers tells me that would be a really bad idea.
Why would the #GOP care what their boss is doing?
They are going on vacation.

X-37 gonna booty touch whatever they put up
It's such a badass thing and so few people even realize we have it or how it's (probably) used.
Why does it matter if the nuclear weapon is in space or in some secret bunker (or on a plane or submarine, for that matter). It seems like one in space would be the easiest to monitor and intercept, if necessary, and also the least likely to kill anyone if it has a rapid unscheduled kaboom.
I get why we don’t want anyone testing nukes in space but I don’t think anyone besides North Korea has tested an actual nuclear weapon since the 90’s.
From a space delivery using a hyper sled you could be on target in 120 seconds. No time for any reaction.
