"However, the Treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit and thus some highly destructive attack strategies such as kinetic bombardment are still potentially allowable."

i guess that answers my question

Honestly from what I'd heard about kinetic bombardment I figured they'd be classified under WMDs, but ey I'm not complaining lol

there's probably a line somewhere where it becomes a WMD if it destroys a large enough area or something

ie the size and speed of projectiles you're sending down

although the definition of WMDs is pretty contentious as far as i know

Yeah probably, I just don't know those numbers lol. I just figured with the way the US works we'd go big or go home

yeah

imagine the butthurt though if we put kinetic bombardment weapons into space

"AMERICA HOLDS WORLD AT GUNPOINT"

Haters gonna hate hate hate~

Unless we go full on socialism the world's gonna hate, so fuck em

problem is eventually another evil globalist type is going to become president and have access to these weapons

You're right, one day we won't have our shitposter in chief 😢 I try not to think about that yet

I'm praying that my boat will get a presidential unit citation from him though. Would be one of my prized possessions.

which boat?

SSN-23 USS Jimmy Carter

oh nice

Historically we've gotten similar awards and our predecessors have gotten them as well. It'd just be nice knowing I was wearing it from the god emperor himself 😛

no fucking way i'd want to be in a submarine though lol

Honestly it's not as bad as it seems

the ocean is scureh

Just imagine your house is attached to your workplace and you never leave either

I'm not overly attached to much so going away for months at a time with little to no contact isn't too much of a biggie for me. All that sucked was that I only had the same 500 songs to listen to and my phone broke half way through our last deployment XD

lol

i think i'd just be slightly phobic of the idea of being underwater for an extended period of time

Depending on your job you may not even notice XD I spend the majority of my day on the boat, so going underway/underwater was the same shit except I didn't sleep in my bed at my house.

When you actually notice you're underwater is when you're close to the surface and the boat rocks back and forth

Which is also the best sleep you'll get

yeah i love being on surface boats. the motion is so relaxing

same with flying

but anyway yeah, space weapons definitely double edged sword

Rail guns are actually p good

imagine hillary is president and tom's house gets mysteriously wiped off the map with no way to trace it or prove what happened

There’s already Lasers on US ships

actual lasers that shoot down missiles and planes

yeah

still limited to line of sight with those though

Indeed

But I wouldn’t fret to much the US is still the greatest military power in the world

The only thing the other super powers have against is numbers
