U.S. 'negation' policy in space raises concerns abroad

excerpt:
Quote:
Beginning next year, NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) will be in charge of the new Offensive Counter-Space program, which will come up with plans to specifically deny the use of near-Earth space to other nations, said Teets.

The program will include two components: the Counter Communication System, designed to disrupt other nations' communication networks from space; and the Counter Surveillance Reconnaissance System, formed to prevent other countries from using advanced intelligence-gathering technology in air or space.
As noted in the full article this would even apply to 'allies'. I have a feeling we will have few if/when this goes into effect. I guess we are heading for world rule after all.
