Don't be shy uq, school us. If satellites are taken out what method would be used, and 2 would internet for the masses continue to operate?
Targeting weapons would only be the tip of the iceberg. C&C, logistics, communications would all go down. As for the masses... banks, fuel, supply chain for goods and food, the grid, pretty much everything. You asked "how" could satellites be taken out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-satellite_weapon Like I said, it's a huge Achilles heal.
And yet you would have the U.S. move toward the model of Turkey's authoritarian government. Where is the internal consistency in your logic?
This conversation has devolved into imaginary scenarios of how the Russians could overtake the US by knocking out all (all?) US satellites. Come on.
Indeed. Then you'd have the gift that keeps on giving AKA the Kessler syndrome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome Good thing we got stable hands at the wheel!
Tell us about Kessler uq. One implication is that the distribution of debris in orbit could render space activities and the use of satellites in specific orbital ranges difficult for many generations.[3]
This is a real concern, along with an asteroid strike, yet we have idiots in here worried that unarmed fools went into The Capitol and did basically nothing with no input from President Trump.
