Space War Would Destroy “Life as we Know it”

 It seems with each passing day we see more evidence of events that will be happening during the Great Tribulation.  If Russia and China have figured out how to destroy our satellites in space, our cell phones, internet, banking, communications and shopping on Amazon would instantly cease.  Pretty sure that eating, drinking, and planning weddings would become problematic to say the least.  And yes, the technology of our enemies could make it a reality.  Where is our hope for tomorrow?  Only in Jesus.

It would no longer be “life as we know it” if a space war destroyed the satellites that the world now relies on, space commanders have warned, and China and Russia have demonstrated that they’re capable of doing just that.

Senior military leaders from the US and Canada are in Sydney for an Australian Strategic Policy Institute conference on space as the new frontier in “commerce, industry, competition and war”. They have discussed the importance of working with allies, including Australia, to counter the threats posed by space war.

Lt Gen Nina Armagno, staff director of the US Space Force, said Russia’s destruction of one of their own satellites last year was a “stunning display”.

“We’re interpreting that … as a message and demonstration of capability,” she said.

Brigadier general Michael Adamson, commander at 3 Canadian SpaceDivision (Canada’s space force), said on behalf of Canada: “No way … holy crap, this is a topsy turvy world, you can’t do that.”

“Same with us,” Armagno said.

She said China was openly documenting and describing its demonstrations of power in space. Asked what the end game could be, she said, “Life as we know it would no longer be as we know it.”

Attacks on satellites can take out GPS systems, banking systems, power grids, first responders’ communications, and impact on military operations, they said.

“I don’t want to be dramatic,” Armagno said. “What does war in space look like? We probably won’t see it with our naked eye but we will definitely feel the consequences from the moment it begins.”
