    Those anti space capabilities already existed prior to this war. The US demonstrated the ability to shoot down a satellite using a fighter jet in the 80s. I’m sure we’ve gotten a lot more creative since then. China and Russia have both developed anti satellite capabilities since then as well.

    The Russians, Chinese and Americans all have it. They just understand that physically taking out another nations satellite would be considered an act of war.
