USA: Weltraumtruppe
(19.06.2018)
Präsident Trump hat laut Antiwar das Pentagon angewiesen, eine „weltraumtrupe“ („Space Force“) zur „Vorherrschaft im All“ als sechste Teilstreitkraft aufzustellen: „Trump now says the US will not only have a presence in space, but will “dominate” space. Which is an ambitious place to try to dominate. Analysts have been warning of the danger of militarizing space in and of itself, and with other nations barely taking steps into space at all, the US doesn’t exactly have a lot of heavy-spending rivals to throw money at defeating.“ (jw)
