A shot across the bow?
posted by The Vidiot @ 10:38 AM Permalink I wish I knew what this was all about.Excerpt: Britain has joined the US, Japan and Australia's condemnation of China after the communist country destroyed a satellite in space using a ballistic missile.I feel like they're sending US a message.
Update: Apparently, my instincts are good.
Excerpt: The Chinese test “could be a shot across the bow,” said Theresa Hitchens, director of the Center for Defense Information, a private group in Washington that tracks military programs. “For several years, the Russians and Chinese have been trying to push a treaty to ban space weapons. The concept of exhibiting a hard-power capability to bring somebody to the negotiating table is a classic cold war technique.”
