The United States has directly warned Russia against launching a new nuclear armed anti-satellite weapon, a U.S. official said on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. official's comments came two days after a source familiar with the matter told Reuters that the United States believes Russia is developing such a weapon.
The detonation of a weapon of this kind, the source said, could disrupt everything from military communications to phone-based ride services.

Like I said on another thread:
The U.S. government has demonstrated over and over to be softball players. Wishy washy wimps.
So Russia, just like Iran, Houthis and every other terrorgroup can do whatever they feel like.

They warned Russia did they? I'm sure that had an effect on Putin! He probably choked on his afternoon tea in gusts of laughter.
