| #6 P2k, How much of Russian sat craft does NASA control? We paid them a lot to launch stuff, I'm sure that Biden could call in a few favors to harass Elon. |

| #5 It would not take much of an ASAT war to make orbital space as a whole difficult to use. |

| #4 Any different than merchant ships in the first world wars or the Tanker War? And Musk can put them up faster than you have launch vehicles to take them down. |

| #3 Musk has 3000 potential ASATs already in orbit. Just the old sats that SpaceX will deorbit could take out every Russians satellite. I don't think the Russians have thought this through. |

| #2 ...The Russians are seriously PO'd at Elon Musk - when he started setting up StarLink for the Ukranians, they tried to hack him out of business...and instead, it turned out that StarLink's people were better and faster...to the point where no matter what the Russians did, the StarLink users never noticed more than a very brief lag.

| #1 Russia keeps saying that it is a "Special Military Operation" -- not War-War. |
