Retired general highlights dangers of Russia's alleged anti-satellite weapon | Cuomo

The White House confirmed Russia is believed to be developing an anti-satellite space weapon, but couldn't confirm whether it is nuclear. On "Cuomo," retired Gen. Wesley Clark says these types of weapons are "first strike weapons" designed to disarm domestic nuclear attack deterrents and disrupt electronics on the ground, which would "destroy the living standard of American people."

So Russian shovel can actually disable US electronics? What kind of sorcery is this?

The man who ordered the bombing of a train carrying civilians in Serbia, who ordered the dropping of graphite fibers on power lines to cause massive damage to power grids, household appliances and factories, is now talking about how the Russians are preparing to do the same, only with more effective weapons. He is now talking about the use of nuclear weapons by the Russians, and he ordered the use of depleted uranium ammunition during the bombing of Serbia, which is why we have a high rate of cancer patients today. It is not surprising that in the West such people are attracting more and more attention, because we have seen a Nazi criminal get a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament.

I dont worry about Russia because Russia and PUTIN are doing fine I worry about America which is falling behind on all fronts while we are worrying about Russia Putin has been building Russia same for China both have homogenous populations our daily worry is diversity not merit-based and we are losing fast either we return to merit-based and reshape our entire education system we will fall that simple ex. Russia starts school at 3.5 12/13 students per teacher with an assistant this is no child left behind either we change fast or enjoy being 3rd world we are living in the past!

Russia has a right to defend its boarders and its territories anyhow they want. We encourage the Russians to press on, space does not belong to the US or the west. The US has space command and have assets up in the skies, we did not hear any opposition when this was done. If I was Russian, I would say, "lets us use what we have to defend our motherland" regardless of what it is.

I give Russia credit for coming up with such a weapon. It's the kind of advanced thinking we should be focused on. Instead we are persistent on turning the country backwards.

I believe it was Omar Bradley that said it remains to be seen whether civilization will be mended, before it will be ended.

The political class and their enablers are the real problem on this planet.

[andrehunter]

More propaganda, people understand that...

Looks like the Amish and other people who know how to live without technology may be the only people who can survive this threat.

Recently we could see the "quality" of USA´s weapons in counterofensive in Ukraine. The only things which are remarkable about those guns are the PRICE and the SPEED in which these are being wiped out... Russian weapons are superior at all levels. The mere fact that the Russians have managed to bring several hypersonic missiles into use (!) within a few years and the Americans, in contrast, have not been able to do so for 10 years, shows the enormous difference. USA only has the most expensive military in the world, while Russia has the strongest army in the world and the most experienced army in the world.. BTW, who wants to be helping to a country(Ukraine) which kept killing civilians(russian language speakers) since 2014 ? It is like someone would start helping to a man who attacked another man....( Russia is helping to civilians in Donbas since those civilians were killed by thousands since 2014) What is the point here? This old man-former general is the part of our planet cancer called USA(their government believes that they own this planet).

The Russian imitate those who brake the rules. Exactly like you.

[staspastukov]

"Russia has violated all treaties" Could you write an article on what specific claims you are making against Russia ? "It has violated everything" sounds strange, including prices in stores ...

[wmlnpdl]

lets invest in friendship and dialogue we have invested a lot in weapons and this investment dont mean anything in this new age we live in it is the best way forward lets talk with Russia and China and North Korea they are all Humans like Americans are if we think we are the leaders of the world then lets lead the world out of this danger of total annihilation lets use diplomacy we cannot win wars with Russia and China we did not even win wars with weakier Nations let alone the power full ones.

[mrityunjaytripathi]

But they only have shovels and washing machine chips!!!!

[ronin_user]

Sounds like Cold War subterfuge. Show us the money.

[abelincoln]

I wonder if Russia's weapons will be as cool as ours! After all we are always the good guys even when we aren't.

[yyisuqg]

So scared of Russia? How weak Russia is able to do something US is not done yet?

[trqster]

Nothing to worry about, the US government has told us that Russia with the sanctions, has no money, no technology, no arms, no hope.

Until Generals start playing chess like Bobby Fisher, all generals lose the end game with the Russians!
