Several US media outlets have claimed that Moscow wants to put a nuclear anti-satellite system into orbit
Western media reports claiming that Russia could place nuclear weapons in space are nothing more than a ploy by the White House to convince US lawmakers to approve further military aid to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
Citing anonymous sources, several US media outlets reported this week that American intelligence had obtained information on purported Russian plans to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in Earth orbit, although the idea supposedly remains at the developmental stage. ABC News claimed that while the system would not be used to attack targets on Earth, US officials still consider it “very concerning and very sensitive.”
Responding on Thursday, Peskov suggested that the administration of US President Joe Biden is using the issue to force a vote to approve Ukraine aid. Moscow, however, will wait and see what comes from an upcoming White House briefing on the topic, Peskov added.
“It’s clear that the White House is trying, by hook or by crook, to push Congress to vote on a bill to approve funding [for Ukraine]. We’ll see what tricks the White House will use,” he said.
Nuclear weapons are banned under the Outer Space Treaty, which was opened for signature by the US, Soviet Union, and the UK in 1967, as Moscow and Washington sought to ease tensions during the Cold War. More than 100 countries have since joined the treaty.
On Wednesday, Republican congressman Mike Turner, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, claimed to have shared information “concerning a serious national security threat” with US lawmakers, while urging Biden to declassify the relevant materials.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is scheduled to brief congressional leaders on security issues on Thursday. When pressed on whether he would address Turner’s concerns, he declined to respond, noting he was “surprised” by the statement, given the upcoming meeting on the matter.
His comments came after the New York Times suggested, citing sources, that Turner – whom it described as the administration’s ally on Ukraine aid – had pushed the nuclear issue into the spotlight, to “perhaps to create pressure” on lawmakers to approve $60 billion in supplemental funding for Kiev.
The Biden administration has been urging Congress to approve more aid for Ukraine since the autumn. Its efforts have been met with opposition from Republicans, who have demanded that the White House do more to improve security on the southern US border in return.

Shocking. Simply shocking. Anyone would have thought that the Russians, along with everyone else with a space program, already had nuclear weapons up there. I am sure that the US does. Any bets on China? India? Even France?!
There is no such thing as highly explosive nuclear fission.
Tell it to the sun.
The sun is spinning down energy and assembling it into slower moving packets of energy. [Relatively speaking]
The sun is a transducer.
It transforms energy into “mass”.
The slowed down energy is what is flung into the solar plane. These materials form into the planets.
After the planets are formed, continuously supplied newly minted atoms are flung into the solar plain where much of it is swept by the gravity of the passing planets.
The sun is fed by a pair of large interstellar electromagnetic plasma currents- one feeding into the north, and one feeding into the south poles.
The solar system exists in the z pinch region of the electromagnetic plasma current powering our sun…and our planets.
Charge recycle baby.
The positions of the planets matters.
SPUTNIK must panic.
Yeah, believe everything in RT…if you are a Russophile or America hater.
Pathetic attempt by the OBAMA DECEPTION deep state that will manufacture anything to push the failing agendas .
Covid vaxx , Ukraine , EV / Green Energy
Nordstream pipeline destruction , Election Fraud and now Nuclear Threats from space by the leftists hate America firsts favorite BOOGIE MAN PUTIN & RUSSIA !
All originally given traction by a complacent leftist idiotic press masquerading as journalists
Obama was placed into position.
He has as much real power as Bidum.
When I was an Officer in Satellite management (AFSATCOM) at Hqs SAC at Offutt AFB Omaha Ne over 40 years ago, we had Top Secret high power radars that watched all geostationary satellites, esp any “dark” or silent ones that might slip up on any military or commercial satellites and explode (sleeper killers). Any Russian satellite that reinterred Earth’s Atmosphere was recovered by special teams to determine if it had a bomb on board or not (all Russian satellites were powered by small nuclear reactors because their electronics were crude and required a lot of power). There was a lot of concern about dark Fractional Orbiting Nuclear Bomb carrying Satellites that could suddenly fire their retro re-entry engines and strike a ground target within 15 minutes. Probably the only reason the Democrats, RINOs, NeoCons and MSM are acting like this is suddenly a new threat is to PSYOP the public and congress to give the MIC billions more dollars to be siphoned off for Ukraine and Israel, etc. The American Fascist Communist are shameless liars about everything.

Despite what you see in movies and TV shows, there are only two practical ways to supply electrical power for multi-year space missions: the sun’s rays or heat generated by natural radioactive decay. Radioisotope power systems — which directly convert heat generated by the decay of plutonium-238 into electric power — use the latter, and are essential for long missions to distant parts of the solar system, where solar-powered space travel may be impractical or impossible
Plutonium-238 works well as a space power source for several reasons. It has a half-life of 88 years, meaning it takes that long for its heat output to be reduced by half. It’s stable at high temperatures; can generate substantial heat in small amounts; and emits relatively low levels of radiation that is easily shielded, so mission-critical instruments and equipment are not affected. This type of plutonium is different than those used for nuclear weapons or nuclear power plant reactors.
In a radioisotope power system, commonly called a “space battery,” the plutonium is processed into a ceramic form — similar to the material in your morning coffee mug. Just like a shattered mug, it breaks into large chunks instead of being vaporized and dispersed, preventing harm to people and the environment in the unlikely event of a launch or reentry accident. For more than 50 years, every radioisotope power system launched into space has worked safely and exactly as designed

All the people who think Medvedev is a serious person with his monthly threats to nuke the West should also be taking this serious.
I take everything Russian Officials say seriously and nothing FJB or Harris say seriously.
I see you missed the lesson of covid.
Tell us.
Just look up any person in question, see their covid response, and you automatically have a huge datapoint on whether they are a scumfuck. It works just like it does for Trump.
Medvedev showed his true colors on lockdowns, lying, the vax, vax passports, one worldism, etc.
This was the first link that came up for me.

Thanks, I didn’t know that; COVID is a “flag” every person flew showing whether he was a NWO stooge or had a brain; another red flag is global warming BS like RFK Jr believes (he would even jail non-believers); another is discriminating against Whites and Asians for Justice.
I’m just glad you’re still keeping an eye out.
It’s confirmed.

I’m thinking that Moscow has as much faith in THAT treaty as they did the Minsk Accords. If the US is involved, you can bank on the other signatories getting a royal fucking.
Every damned time.
The initial scary but vague “alarm” was just a “Wag The Dog” moment. Terrorism theater.
Biden dementia exposed
