PUTIN SURRENDERS

 

Putin backs down. He knows he's cornered. Putin is a moderate. He represses the hawks The US already has nukes in space. That's why the US is so aggressive on Russia's borders and why Russia does nothing about it. Well, the Soviets countered by smuggling nukes & bioweapons into the USA.

The space race was all about putting nukes in space. The US developed the Nuclear Thermal Rocket to lower the cost or deploying Space Weapons. The Nazis had a plan to put a large mirror in space to deploy as a weapon. That's what sold the US on bring Von Braun into the fold.

Responding to the US space weapons the Soviets attempted to put a one megawatt laser Polyus into space. The traitor Gorbachev destroyed it after launch it is said. So, Putin it seems has shot down the RU hawks.

Defeating an opponent from the guard position.

People should never forget that RU and China are not out to disrupt the status quo. Hell Putin is not even seeking parity with the USA when it comes to space weaponry. He's like Gorbachev when it comes to that. Putin is a judo master. It is possible to defeat someone above you.

The problem anyone wanting to take on the US in the space realm is - the US got there first. That's why it was called the space race. There could be only one winner. The US had a 1 megawatt laser in the 1960's. The Soviets were 20 years behind when they attempted Polyus. Anyway interesting - Putin surrenders. Putin is not the warmonger Western propagandists paint him to be. Putin a a moderate who keeps Russia's hawks in check. When Putin is replaced with a real Hawk the US/NATO will be in for a rude awakening, wishing Putin was still in power.
