US Space Force Confirms Deployment of Orbital Weapons, Triggering Global Diplomatic Crisis
The United States Space Force has officially confirmed the deployment of 'on-orbit space control weapons,' intended to protect American assets from hostile threats. This move has sparked immediate backlash from Russia and China, both of whom call for the total demilitarization of outer space. While the US claims these kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities are for defense, critics argue this escalates a celestial arms race. The situation highlights a critical loophole in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which bans nuclear weapons but fails to prohibit conventional orbital weaponry.
