Could be U.S best weapons?

Question

What would happen if the United States launch 100s of satellites equip with nuclear weapon in to space orbiting our planet, would it Made the U.S powerful?

Answer 1

Sounds dangerous. With little benefit over ICBM's.

Answer 2

Spaced based weapons are not your idea. We have spent many billions of dollars to ensure our military superiority in space.

This is why the US is so upset about China having the ability to target an object in space for destruction.

Nuclear weapons based on a satellite platform are specifically forbidden by international law, so even if they were already up there our government would never admit it until after they were used.

Considering the fact that we can launch nukes from guns, planes, ships, subs, and ground systems, satellite platforms would not seem all that unreasonable.

We already have many more nuclear weapons than all of the rest of the world combined. We possess many more than would be required to end our existence on this earth as we know it.

Definition of a "Rogue State": Any government in the world that refuses to acknowledge the nuclear threat from the US and submit to any and all policies dictated by the US government or it's parent Corporations.

Answer 3

Irrelevant as the missiles we already have are quite unstoppable and cover the entire planet. Satellite weapons are way more hassle than they would be worth. 1 what would you do if the satellite malfunctioned and decided to come down in the USA or some other city. Even if the bomb doesn't go off the plutonium contamination would be nearly as bad spread over hundreds of miles. This system adds nothing to our defenses as our subs already guarantee that we will always be able to shoot back at all attackers.

Answer 4

We already have nuclear weapons that can obliterate the world thousands of times over. Nuclear weapons were meant to never be used if that makes any sense. What makes us the most powerful country in the world besides our military is our economic might and our relative isolation thanks to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as our natural resources.

Answer 5

No.Such activity would guarantee a re action of unimaginable
horror.You have to understand that Russia has exactly the same capability.The nuclear clock now stands at 2 minutes to midnight.
You and I and all of us must make sure that midnight never comes.
The planet would not survive such a catastrophic nuclear exchange.
12 midnight represents midnight for civilization.We would be blown back to the stone age.

Answer 6

Every country is important and powerful. Imagine that the T virus from Resident Evil exist and only the Dominican Republic poses it. So ... don't you think we might need their help?
We sow hat happened 9-11. So every country can be hurt and can't react as fast as we think.

But if you consider that money can buy the best weapon, I think the US have the best of it. But remember, if it's cheaper to create it in China, I think they made a copy so they can sell it to Russia. :))

Answer 7

Would have no impact. The US can already deliver nuclear weapons to any target on the planet in a matter of minutes.

Answer 8

No sense in that. You launch them, someone else will take them. If you guard them, then you'll spend unecessary money for that. US is already the most powerful. Your idea is silly.

Answer 9

The best (?) weapons of gestruction we have are Bush and Condie Rice !

Answer 10

Powerful? Maybe. But, smarter?? This apply to any country.
