The big ‘national security threat’ announced today is supposedly about Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon in space, prompting some to question whether it’s all an election year ploy.
The controversy began when House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) asked President Biden to declassify information about a “serious national security threat”.
According to ABC News, “Two sources familiar with deliberations on Capitol Hill said the intelligence has to do with the Russians wanting to put a nuclear weapon into space.”
The weapon would reportedly be designed to be used to take out satellites.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) responded by telling reporters he wanted “to assure the American people, there is no need for public alarm.”
The big, scary threat is serious business and involves a space-based nuke controlled by evil dictator Putin, but it’s also “not an immediate crisis,” according to what three members of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee have told Politico.
Okay, then. Just for election season, is it?
Zero Hedge reports: “So, the question is – was this:
a) a distraction from Biden’s broken brain, or
2) a last desperate attempt to get more funding for anything-but-the-US-border, or
iii) a path to pitching Putin as the uber-bad-guy again after his interview with Tucker Carlson.”
Just by coincidence, Mike Turner recently returned from Ukraine having lobbied for billions more in weapons and aid for Zelensky’s government.
Some questioned the timing, suggesting it might all be a deep state plot to keep American voters afraid when they hit the ballot box.
Speculation will now rage as to whether this is “the event,” real or imagined, that billionaires and elitists the world over have been building underground survival bunkers in preparation for.

A Hunter Biden plea deal is about to drop isn’t it? Democrats laughed at Trump and his Space Force boasts. Who’s laughing now?
Trump was right.
Trump was right.
Trump was right.
Are Americans really that stupid that they’d vote for Sniffer again because “Putin could maybe, perhaps, put a nuke in space…but don’t worry about it because Biden will save you…”?
Yes, actually, they probably are THAT stupid
Horse hockey!
Just in time to put the presidential elections on indefinite hold until we successfully deal with this “crisis” – which could take years to resolve.
Laying the excuse for cancelling elections?
Weapons of mass destruction are back to scare us into agreeing to whatever it takes to feel safe. I demand marshal law and cancel elections!
Oh ffs. If Putin has an orbiting nuke and decided to use it, ALL satellites would be taken out, including Russian, US, European, Indian, Chinese. The disruption to modern communications would be immeasurable, but Russia would be just as badly affected. It would level the playing field, sure, but the Putin would immediately have the entire world against him, including all current allies. More fearmongering of the highest order… again.
