There are some startling developments in the Ukraine invasion .. this time not involving land but instead space itself
As Russia gets more aggressive in the wake of the new war, it would appear that the lives of astronauts aboard the international space station are now in the crosshairs..
Russia could pull the plug on the International Space Station and not support a contained de-orbit, which could then "crash into the United States or Europe"; he also alluded this could happen with U.S. astronauts on-board.
-Russia could block Americans from using their rockets to and from space; they could also block other countries from using their rockets to deploy assets into space. In addition to using SpaceX, NASA has contracted-out carrying astronauts to/from the space station to Russia. Other countries use Russian rockets to launch communications, science/research, and military satellites; sanctions could impact those from happening.
-Russia withdrew from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, where European Galileo and Copernicus programs have launched; the recent James Webb Space Telescope also launched from this facility.
-Russia has exhibited technology where its satellites could attack other satellites in space; in theory, Russia could knock-out U.S. and European communications, GPS, navigation, and weather satellites.
-Russia and China are also making announcements on partnering on key space program projects
-U.S. Space Force says they're ready to deal with space-based aggression from American enemies.
This situation continues to dangerously escalate out of control..
