Russia could use nuclear weapons in space to hit satellites. This is the threat that agitates the United States and which has led the White House to summon the 8 leaders of Congress for a briefing.
The ABCnews broadcaster outlines the detailed picture in relation to the “threat to national security” on which the House Intelligence Committee focused, which referred to an urgent issue linked to a “highly worrying and destabilizing” Russian military capability. According to Commission Chairman Mike Turner, US President Joe Biden should declassify “all information” available.
According to Abcnews, which cites two sources familiar with the discussions taking place on Capitol Hill, the threat is linked to Russian ambitions to 'place' nuclear weapons in space. “It's a big thing”, the summary of a source.
Several members of Congress, who remained anonymous, limited themselves to calling the issue 'serious'. “We will work together to address this issue, as we do with all sensitive issues that are classified,” says House Speaker Mike Johnson. “We want to assure everyone that the steering wheel is in safe hands.” Congressman Jim Himes, Democratic representative of Connecticut, defines the alarm as “significant” but “not a cause for panic. It is a discussion that needs to be addressed, but not in public”.
