Military Space Operations, continued
The Putchist-in-Chief is leaving another mark on the treaty system. The decision to use an Aegis SM-3 to try to shoot down US 193.

The notion that on the order of 60 million Pentagon dollars is being effectively spent to ameliorate a public health hazard is beyond comic. There is so much public health hazard that 60 million Pentagon dollars could be allocated to reduce with astronomically greater probabilities of technical success, and successful public health outcomes in the presence of technical success, that this rational fails to address. Like inventory reductions, or non-proliferation verification, or ... agendas outside the policy scope of the Regime.
