You are still missing the point. This policy does not aim to "put new weapons in space". It is to do with the USAF giving itself permission to use existing and future space arms to disable or destroy the space-based efforts of other nations and enterprises whether they are enemies of the USA or not.
That's irrelevant to this thread.

That may well be your opinion, but it doesn't answer the very simple question I asked in a particularly useful or relevant way.
My interest here is in how this will impact other nations individually, and international politics and space exploitation as a whole, not in how it will be a good thing for America. Try not to be so insular.
Thank-you for that world-class contribution to the discussion, Douglas.
This thread is about territoriality, resource partitioning and space superiority. Anyone who isn't interested in discussing those topics should reconsider before they post comments.
