I'm rooting for "shooting down a satellite"
nobody gets killed, everyone goes nuts, people doomsay over its effects on space exploration but it really won't matter much, and the US/EU are forced to engage with how they're supposed to react to the reaction

Thought about this. Idk the physics of it but would that cause a bunch of fast flying debris that could knock out secondary satellites i would think.

i'd think it could take out unintended targets near the exploded satellite, but anything further out should be ok as its all in orbit and exploded material would reenter the orbit ellipse fairly quickly. but tbh i have no idea how that field of orbit is navigable at all, its always amazed me that satellites can obit and be fired into orbit without hitting space junk, of which there is a LOT. I'd bet we have rovers clearing out space junk sometime in the future, likely before we even clear out the pacific garbage patch, more economic incentive to clear out orbit.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space

Let's hope that they don't hit Tchernobyl with Oreshnik

Lol’d

Love the new sig

They figured it out with Chechens, sure where there is a will, there is a way.

Isn't a key component of pacifying Chechnya that Kadyrow rules it with an iron fist on behalf of the Kremlin? Moscow got the region under control by a combination of bribes and deterrence. They don't have the same kind of power in Ukraine, so this carrot-and-stick approach shouldn't work.
