Why are Americans so upset about the 'Space Force' ?
| Trumps idea of a Space Force is different from Russia and France's.
| We have crumbling roads.
People dying from lack of healthcare
Extreme amount of people living paycheck to paycheck.
Better things to spend that over inflated military budget on.
| >>338719 This.
Additionally he's not preventing space threats he's just blowing all our money away on absurdly expensive toys.

The most important thing is defence though. If we fall behind you better believe someone will try to subjugate us.
| >>338719 we have the same shit in russia, but we are helping 3rd world countries for some fucking reason. Also government is corrupt as hell in every big city all across the country, from Moscow to Vladivostok.
| During the Cold War we agreed to treat space like international waters. Pretty much it meant no weapons platforms or shootouts in space, so need for a space force to deal with it.
| I didn't even know we had a space force.
Pretty cool shit imo.

We outspend the next 7 countries combined.
Stop this fucking excuse.
"How we gonna pay for it?" When anything to better people's lives come up. But we have infinite money to kill children in the Middle East some how.

"Will try and subjugate"
Are you fucking high or really that retarded? No one can do that. A little thing called NATO and M.A.D and an armed populace do a lot more. Military Industrial Complex wants that money because it makes the rich fuckers richer. Nice little kickbacks for the politicians too.
| I'm fucking ready to join the God Emperor's space marines fuck what anyone says
| When will the united states get Marines in space? I mean think about it... Space Marines! Tough guys duking it out with other tough guys on the final frontier, space!
| As much as people hate in the US defense budget, and especially at the gurl talking about people dying from lack of healthcare, Id like to point out that the US spends more than twice its defense budget on entitlement spending, ie healthcare, social security, welfare, etc. Still, agreed the space force sounds like a waste of money, but I guess we'll see.

Space is becoming very important these days, communications satellites are now critical to things like quantum key exchange.
| >>342562 I'd rather have the U.S. fix their shit before trying to fly into space again, even if it takes 30 years
| >>342564
If USA doesn't maintain military superiority they won't be fixing their shit, other states will be fixing them. Imagine the horrors a Chinese or Israeli hegemony would unleash. If you think it is bad now just wait and see.

| Russia has one since 2015 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Space_Forces ) and both China and France have agencies with similar purpose.
