The House Intelligence Committee Chair asked Biden to declassify intel on reported nuclear anti-satellite weapon
House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) called on President Joe Biden to declassify all intelligence reports related to an unnamed “serious national security threat” on Wednesday, as reported by ABC News. Jake Sullivan, White House national security adviser, addressed the remarks in a press briefing, assured reporters the country faced no imminent threat of attack, and confirmed that he reached out to congressional leaders. Sullivan offered no further details of the supposed threat.
According to ABC News, two sources familiar with deliberations on Capitol Hill told the outlet that the classified intelligence involved Russian ambitions to put a nuclear weapon into space — not to drop a nuclear weapon onto Earth, but rather to possibly use against satellites. “It is very concerning and very sensitive,” one source reportedly told the outlet, calling it “a big deal.”
“Current and former officials said the nuclear weapon was not in orbit,” The New York Times reported, confirming ABC News’ report. Turner’s warning comes ahead of a previously planned Thursday meeting on the topic between congressional leaders and Biden’s top security advisers which Turner is scheduled to attend. Sullivan said he “was a bit surprised that Congressman Turner came out today.”
Mike Johnson has seen this intelligence.
Mike Johnson knows that withholding aid to Ukraine will result in Russian victories. And that is what he is choosing. That is what Trump is choosing. That is what MAGA is choosing. Their considered policy is the defeat of Ukraine and imperiling all of Europe. Think about that.
Yes, they are fucking traitors to humanity. Unfortunately, so are large swaths of the population. So, now what?
Until a large enough percentage of the population of this planet is willing to suffer the consequences of reforming society, the strategic balance will always favor the consolidation of power into fewer and fewer hands. Revolution is and always has been the only viable option to save our species from a dystopian future, as far as I can tell anyway.
Can you define this? It’s pretty vague.
Oh. Mmm let’s look at recent revolutions…oh, oh no, OH. Yeah, that’s a no from me, dawg.
The problem here is that most left leaning people are fucking afraid of guns. Who the fuck do you expect to revolt with you? The cops?
That’s just it. I don’t expect anyone to revolt until the suffering people are experiencing vastly outweighs the price of revolution. Even then, it may not happen. Until humanity loses its desire to fight and die over petty differences rather than focusing our resources on preserving civilization in a more efficient, equitable fashion then we are just headed towards guaranteed extinction on a much shorter timeline than most people are willing to accept. I do not wish for violent revolution, but I am willing to accept that it may be either necessary or inevitable.
