Here's the plan!

So, what of it? Let me see your permit.

A proper response

“ Moscow -- Russia said Saturday that US military plans to shoot down a damaged spy satellite may be a veiled test of America's missile defense system. [ Russia: US satellite shot a weapon test] ” What a great opportunity, perhaps our last,  for the  United States to cement PAX AMRICANA.  A thousand years of peace.  Of course you've already thought the same thing, right?   It's this.  Before every two-bit, half-baked commie nation, principality (I like irony) and ghetto buys the technology at Radio Shack, here's what we do.  Announce to the world (China and Russia, and Islamos) "You're right, and starting tomorrow we're eliminating every satellite  of yours too!"  That's right.  Henceforth, they will not be allowed to place  anything into space without our oversight and permission.  Nothing.  We'll immediately send our space shuttles about, vacuuming the heavens of  their iron, and with it their ability to wage modern war.  But, Rodge, is it fair for  commies to be deprived of satellite television?  Not to worry.  Other nations will  be allowed approved, licensed  communications hardware, but via our delivery.  I know what you're still saying.  "But, Rodge, our Democrats and Liberal nincompoops will never let that happen!"  And that, boys and girls, is why we have the Barn Army.  Let the trap doors spring to life.  USA!  UAS! USA! I'm not kidding.  You know I'm right.
