The Federation.

Alrighty then, I won't bother trying to have a serious discussion with you again. I should've known better.

Can we call him "general moonbeam" now?

You know someone's already working on the effects of 1/6th of the earth's gravity upon the post launched urinary stream of a hooker in space.

Hello archives,



Who is going to pay for it? The debt is too high already, and getting rapidly higher as long as the tax-cut giveaway to the rich is in place.

Isn't there some kind of international pact in which nations agreed not to militarize space?

We can use the money were saving by eliminating Obamacare.

Grand claims and schemes by a potus isn't novel, neither is making outer space belligerent (Ronnie star wars). It is only fitting that a Republitard be the first to intend to send troops there.
They can stand guard over our moon flag.

Showing yet again how utterly retarded you are. "Star Wars" had nothing to do with "making outer space belligerent", it was a pejorative coined by leftist loons. The Wokest is your sock, right? Because you are definitely "literally retarded".

Sure you do shit-for-brains. No sense arguing with a dishonest dumbfuck; it's always better to point at you and laugh.

Oh well sure it's about more war somehow, ruling earth is not enough.

who's hegemonic? It's China. Who has already shot down a satellite in low orbit? China again

"President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the Pentagon to establish a stand-alone Space Force as a new branch of the armed forces."

Must be this morning he switched over from "Fox and Friends" and watched a 1950's monster movie on TCM

The fun will now be watching the Trumpkins defend Donald and tell us why we need a new military branch for space

Because Star Trek... duh.

[ThatOwlWoman]

Great idea, but really stupid name. The USSF? Really?

I can hardly wait to see the space cadet uniforms.

appalling ignorance on this thread... You can bet the People's Liberation Space Cadre (China) isn't playing around

How about a 'Cyber Army'?
I think we're in a War.
I think China knows we're in a War.
I think Russia knows we're in a War.
I think there are others that know we're in a War.

I think the ONLY people that DON'T know we're in a War ... is the Americans.

this is soooo true. We have been in a trade war with china and no one has realized it. As Aragorn once said. "Open war is upon you whether you choose it or not"

also regarding the space force. How else are we to go on the path to a death star? : )

Under Trump our first contact with another species shall be when we are conquering their planet >: )

Unbeknownst to those who don't pay attention to facts, the US has been engaged in space-based defense programs since the 80's. If you need help finding that out I can assist you.

"... Air Force Space Command operates roughly 80 satellites. You might not know it, but AFSPC is the group that makes sure Google Maps works on your phone. The command operates all 24 to 33 satellites in the GPS constellation for the entire world (though China is working to build their own GPS network of 30 satellites). AFSPC also tracks 23,000 objects in orbit, 1,400 of which are active satellites, using ground-based radar. If the space command detects a possible collision, they notify the satellite owners, regardless of what country or company the satellite belongs to.

The United States has enjoyed essentially unchecked control of orbital domains for almost half a century, and while other nations are catching up, U.S. military leaders intend to maintain that control. "Space is foundational to our way of war," says Raymond, "and it's foundational to our way of life."

Just because you don't see fancy uniforms doesn't mean we don't know what China is doing.

ONLY Trump supporters believe anything he says.

you simply cannot be that ignorant that it's about "uniforms".

It's about making space militarization/weaponization an equal dedicated command structure as say the USAF itself.
Much the same way the USAF became a dedicated command from the US Army

you make the case for the USSF ( good article)

Of course I KNOW it's not about uniforms .. but Trump supporters might.

Point being, outside of TrumpyWorld, no one takes Trump seriously. Everything he says is taken with skepticism and disdain .. as it should be.
