The "we" part. Is this a confirmation you're part of that "we"?;)

Hmm. Doesn't this fly directly in the face of existing treaties on
space-based weapons?  At least I thought those treaties were in place.

Cheers,

Derk

Treaties are in place until a nation deems them detrimental to their goals,
purposes, or perceived needs.

Me blithering:
> Such treaties are painfully complicated in wording...

*ahem* Sorry, I mistook actual memory for deja vu. President Bush pulled the
US out of the main treaty something like two years ago. I had to have a TV
report remind me... *blush*

Oh no you don't "hit and run..."

Either don't "hit" or stay and act like a man. The former would be better but
since you chose NOT to do the proper thing to avoid the dreaded "P" word then
I will reply. At least you didn't work the "R" word in too.

Only ONLINE comment is that ALL countries have a history of abandoning
treaties when the perception that it is counter to their higher national
priorities/desires/greeds.

And "sometimes sooner," or so my Cherokee Grandmother used to say.

Feel free to reply off list.
