      She has some terrible ideas, but the way they smeared her over this reminds me how they attacked Mamdani calling him an antisemitic Jihadist. Sad so many people on the left merely parroted their pro-genocide AIPAC politicians at the time.

        Dude, fuck off. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a white supremacist. She was talking about nonsensical antisemitic conspiracy theories she got off of social media (she was blaming US wildfires on “Jewish space lasers”). Do not try to “well, ackshually” her with this revisionist garbage. She never had a point, and anything resembling one was accidental.


        Edit: Oh, you’re one of those Jill Stein assholes. That actually checks out.

      When they say they are planning to develop them, what they mean is that they are planning to make their existence public. You should assume Jewish Space Lasers are literally a thing today.

        Nope, a space laser is a stupid weapon.

        A system of kinetic impactors would be far more practical.

          To be fair the article says “Space Weapons”, not necessarily lasers, so something stupid and destructive like dropping some kinda mass payload from low orbit would also count.

    They need to be able to orbitally bombard Palestinian schoolchildren - matter of national security

    And here I was, thinking the Jewish space lasers are just a silly conspiracy.

    When have conspiracy theories turned into trailers?

    Capable of targeting a specific orphan at a specific hospital and obliterating the whole fucking thing from high earth orbit.

    Frankly terrifying. Like, imagine if the Nazis had been first to develop nuclear weapons kind of terrifying.

      Technically they were, but they worked for the americans (Operation Paperclip took in nazi rocket scientists and physicists, providing them safe haven in the us in exchange for them working on the gadget)

    This will result in the station getting blown and a lot of space debrees. I don’t think it is gonna be a good tool, USA already had Rods from God idea and it wasn’t implemented cause the cost/effect is questionable.
