Space.com: Russia has tested an anti-satellite weapon in space, US Space Command says
The Space Force described the activity as "hypocritical and concerning."
The U.S. Space Command announced Thursday (July 23) that it has evidence that Russia has tested a space-based anti-satellite weapon.
On July 15, Russia "injected a new object into orbit" orbit from the Cosmos 2543 satellite and "conducted a non-destructive test of a space-based anti-satellite weapon," the U.S. Space Command (USSC) said an emailed statement. The object is listed under the Satellite Catalog Number 45915 on space-track.org, it added.

Why should Russia be concerned with what the USA thinks?
Seriously, why should they care?
If they are burning federal courthouses in major cities, will such a country be around for long?
Okay, so you smartly reply that a court house has not been torched. It has not been for lack of trying.
So Democrat mayors, DA's governors, senators and representatives are perfectly fine with federal building being torched. Again it has not happened because Trump is upholding the rule of (good) law. Law can be bad. Think about the Nuremberg decrees.
So the federal courthouses are yet unburnt to the ground. Instead we have this.

How many lives is that court house worth?
Suppose the courthouse is abandoned; Trump retreats. The court house gets burnt. You say but is was only 4 out of 100 rooms ,w e can refurbish it and it will be up and running in a few months just in time for a Biden presidency.
You sure all the paperwork and servers will be there? Will case have to be thrown out because documents are gone. The murder rate is already going up. Torch the courthouse and watch it go up even higher.
The term hybrid warfare has been kicked around for a decade maybe two. Seeing so many courthouse burned, would the Russians really want to negotiate anything with Trump or Biden
Keep it up Liberals/Democrats!
Keep it up, you MOTHER FUCKERS!

Good post!! There's really not much to add. I'd think not only would countries like Russia or China have disincentive yo negotiate with us I'd also tend to think any defense agreements with us wouldn't be worth much as well. Also, liberals/democrats gavecus the twin myths of Russian collusion and interference in our elections, bold faced lies. It's hard to imagine foreign leaders trusting such people.
There is always an incentive to avoid mutual destruction. With respect to satellites, US, China and Russia could agree not to develop space weapons with erratic collateral damage. That is, you do not create debris that harms you as much as your adversary. Space weapons that create fields of debris could and should be outlawed. It will allow everyone to focus their weapons development in more useful and less self destructive directions. Same for defense.
