THE CASE FOR WEAPONIZED KESSLERIZATION

It is time for Russia to give the 🇺🇦 flags and shibas what they have long demanded. #CloseTheSky

American SIGINT is an invulnerable (because no 🇺🇸🇷🇺 war) force multiplier worth factors more than all the Cold War surplus supplied to Ukraine. Just a few truckloads of gravel will put an end to Americans supplying the UAF with coordinates & nullifying Russia's shells advantage.

As long as US satellites are not directly targeted, it is also formally deniable, & while the culprit will be obvious, it will in any case be a legitimate response to American sabotage of Nord Stream. It is the US that decided to escalate thus, not Russia.

Since the US has a vast space advantage relative to all other Powers, I expect China will quietly welcome this development. It will greatly simplify any Taiwan operation, without China itself having to go to the very risky step of killing American satellites itself.

Although weaponized Kesslerization is obviously very risky, but much less so than breaking out the nukes, and provides a concrete war-winning military advantage in a way that limited tactical nuke usage doesn't.

In the event that the Americans do respond to this militarily, then the game is over anyway; "always was."

In the event that Russia loses anyway, at least other free nations will subsequently be able to confront Western Supremacism on a more even ground.

Как тебе такое, Илон Маск?

Re-Russian capabilities. It has massive spacelift capacity, how can that be an issue, LOL. Though I would consider looking into more exotic propulsion mechanisms (e.g. Orion Drives) to get more mass up there cheaper & faster to start knocking out satellites sooner.

Basic idea: Mount spacecraft/payload onto a pusher plate & explode a series of shaped nuclear charges to accelerate the cargo into space. You could explode them in rapid succession if sudden acceleration is of no concern (i.e. no human crew). unz.com/akarlin/coloni…

Traditionally viewed as a method of blasting payloads into space in a much cheaper and scalable way than chemical propulsion, Orion Drives should be just as efficacious at fast & thorough Kesslerization.

Re-American responses. None of this would be illegal. All satellites destroyed as a result of this will be accidents, strictly speaking. There will be no legal grounds for escalation.

Re-collateral damage. Yes, Russia & others will lose their own LEO satellites, but as I said earlier, the US has close to space dominance. In *relative* terms, it will hurt US power and the globalist system it underwrites far more any of its Great Power competitors.
