I’m going to speak on one thing mainly, The fact that many super powers are trying to build Orbital Bombardment weapons in research and tech while also creating orbital bombardment defenses is retarded.
Yea yea, Soviet iron curtain, Star Wars Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Iron Dome, something Golden Dome.

Like look, we’re a single planet species for all I know, and that means an orbital bombardment system to bomb the fuck out of the same planet we’re on is retarded. It’s like shitting in your own bed and then being amazed it smells like shit.
Shouldn’t we, you know, light fire crackers and cherry bombs outside of our houses?
Like, why not become multi-planetary first before we just fast tech the ICBM Orbital Satellite bombs or Nukes?
Am I preaching to the choir here? It’s retarded.
(and yes fast tech-ing into sub-orbital defense systems only implies a neutral and strategic ground of advancing into orbital bombardment systems because that’s how technology works. If some tard builds a shield that can withstand sub-orbital weaponry, then it’s obvious to level the playing field people are going to advance into Orbital weaponry. There’s a reason why China and Russia are pissed at this, but whatever)
In Closing
It’s either people that are genuinely retarded or they’re just laundering money for overbloated defense funds to embezzle. It’s likely both.
Whatever.
