A Space Force general said American satellites are attacked by adversaries every day in ways that flirt with “acts of war,” and the US will lose a space arms race if it doesn’t take action.China and Russia regularly strike US satellites with lasers, radiofrequency jammers, and cyber attacks, Gen. David Thompson told The Washington Post in an op-ed published Tuesday.“The threats are really growing and expanding every single day. And it’s really an evolution of activity that’s been happening for a long time,” said Gen. Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations in the new military branch.

Joey will do NOTHING. He's a known puppet of Russia and China - all to enrich himself of course.

Democrats are tough against people who love America and squishy soft against people who hate and daily attack America. This persistent softness against our enemies, such as Russia and China, is emboldening them. Small, annoying hostile actions will soon become deadly attacks.
Why has our military even tolerated these daily attacks? They are indeed acts of war. Treat them as such and threaten to take out their satellites without any further warning if it happens even one more time. An enemy that is not confronted and resisted will become more and more bold over time.

Are the satellites gender neutral? That's my only concern.

Much like sending aircraft close to and even into the airspace of Russia almost daily, the U.S. is doing the same thing to Chinese and Russian satellites. We just don't hear about it. The same goes for operations in the world's oceans. We see photos of Russian aircraft and ships coming extremely close to U.S. aircraft and ships, but the U.S. does the same thing. We hear about our Navy mishaps, but you can bet the Chinese and Russian navies have the same issues at times. You just don't always hear or see that much about it. It gives the impression that our military is inferior which is good PR for those in the Pentagon who want ever expanding budgets. The Chinese hypersonic weapon is a good example of this BS. The U.S. has the exact same weapon, we just don't want anyone to know about it. It was that way with the stealth aircraft.

I'm quite certain our guys are doing similar things. just like our aircraft and ships entering other country's space. every country tests others' capabilities and response

Let's say we're attacked and invaded. Do these people think the Russians or the Chinese will let them keep their jobs, or are they too greedy and stupid to realize that the collaborators who enabled this will be first in line to get the rope?

Red1066, I have some doubts of reciprocal actions. We would have heard about them in International News along with the official complaints by the appropriate Chinese and Russian Talking Heads.
I bet at the moment, we are playing dodgeball, only, and not returning fire.

The way this stops is when you have the easy ability to shoot down the satellites doing the attacking, and you effectively, destructively defend your satellites.
Shoot a laser at ours, we blow up one of yours. Try to hack one of ours, we blow up one of yours.
