Both nations have proven they have the capability to hit satellites in motion. We need to have some sort of defenses in place. On a slightly related note: I hope the military is still teaching people how to read maps and navigate without GPS. GPS first. Communications satellites are higher, and harder to get, and GPS is more critical. Knock out GPS, and you don't just impact map reading. You turn back the clock 30-50 years on the DoD's inventory of precision standoff munitions. And EVERYTHING is a standoff PGMs these days - Tomahawk, ALCMs, ATACMS, JDAMs, WCMD, JSOW, any artillery platform larger than a mortar...anything not aimed by eye, laser, or radar has its accuracy cut by a factor of 10. Even the SLBM fleet. Losing the communications satellites would be a disaster. Losing GPS would be catastrophic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeginnersMind Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Who among Trump’s advisors support and believe in more than Trump? Or is every one of his advisors not to be trusted and believed? I ask because he se he believed in the generals. Until hey didn’t believe in him. Is there anyone in his in his cabinet whose negative judgment of Trump you’d believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people here seem to excuse every critique by his advisors as Deep State or some other disregarding of the source. So my question is: When would someone believe the closest insiders? His Sec of State and Defense Secretary have called him more or less unfit. His Chief of Staff has called him a moron or something like that. So who in his cabinet would you believe? He is headed for a cabinet of Sarah Sanders’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You included "more or less unfit", "moron or something like that" and parlayed that into what seems to be an attack on Sarah Sanders. There is some recent historical precedence here as it relates to Sec of Defense taking shots at the former boss. As an aside, it seems to me a guy like Mattis would have no problem taking Trump on directly is he felt it was warranted. Part of his resignation included suggesting the president should have someone who aligns with his vision. That sounds reasonable enough to me. Seems to be the nature of being president. I would consider anything that came out, but my first question is always "Is there an axe to grind?".
