Last week, in a stunning projection of our military’s power, the US Navy blew up one of our own dead and potentially dangerous spy satellites up there in outer space; it was orbiting the earth.
Now, analysts dug up by the Media, are complaining that our success knocking out that satellite also undercut diplomacy.
That’s right, my friends: our military, taking out our own dead satellite, “blew another hole in hopes that the world’s nations could forge a treaty making outer space a weapons-free realm.”
And it couldn’t have come at a worse time! Why, just days after Russia and China submitted a draft treaty to the UN Conference on Disarmament! (And not to mention the fact that the China knocked a satellite out of orbit without first telling anybody last year, and they’re in the midst of a huge military buildup — as are the Russians. )
Now, a few points here, folks.
First, both Clinton and Obama have signaled they’re willing to ban space weapons — which would put us at a deadly military disadvantage. I’m here to tell you, no matter what China or the Russians say or sign, they will strive for supremacy in space-based weapons — and they will continue stealing our technology if they have to.
And let’s not forget where this all came from: Ronald Reagan.
Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. Star Wars — which liberals went nuts over, claiming it would never work and shouldn’t be tried.
— The Reagan legacy, thankfully, lives on.
Then, like now, the liberals were completely wrong: underestimating our own capabilities and underestimating the need for us to defend this nation…
