Seems there’s quite a stir on Capitol Hill the last couple days on the potential of Russia developing and deploying antisatellite nuclear weapons that we have no existing defense against. Reading the tea leaves it even sounds as if these weapons may have already been deployed by the Ruskies.

Is this a realistic threat? Would Putin think he could get away with using a nuke in space, since it’s off world? Or are we using this potential threat as a way to help push through Ukraine aid?
