The Chinese can now shoot down satellites...
Given our military's increasing dependence on satellite technology for everything from precision guided missiles to locating targets to aiding flight control; it couldn't have come as good news that the Chinese successfully shot down a low earth satellite with a ballistic missile. Personally I'd recommend a strong reprimand of the Chinese involving economic sanctions...oops I forgot the Chinese own 346 billion in US debt. Which if they decided to ask us to pay up, would make for a very unpleasent tax season for all. Isn't that a stinky floater in the public toilet of circumstance?
