Well detonating nukes in space would probably destroy every country's satellites including the Russians own

But I don't think the Russians care much for it, they've been fighting the war in Ukraine as if it's world war 2 all over again anyway, so losing satellites probably won't affect them much, but it would be a huge blow for the American and nato military

Why Churchill fought on​


It has been rightly pointed out that such intransigence might well lead to destruction:


The difference between perseverance and disastrous inflexibility can be terribly thin. England came within a hair’s breadth of losing the war and suffering the horrors of invasion and occupation by Nazi Germany. In that case, Churchill’s bulldog determination—his refusal to accept a relatively generous peace offer after the fall of France—would seem in retrospect the magnificent, if wrong-headed, defiance of a tragic figure who brought his people low by his own heroic intransigence.10


Churchill was prepared to accept that risk, but if Britain had fallen, his decision would not have been wrongheaded. In his own words, “You have to consider the character of the Nazi movement and the rule that it implies.”11 Peace with Hitler would have surrendered the whole of Europe, and perhaps the world, to soul-destroying tyranny; it would have betrayed every moral principle Britain stood for.

How Churchill Saw the Second World War as a Moral Conflict

To understand why Churchill fought on, resisting any peace with Hitler, we must understand the moral conflict as well as the military one.

"5 days ago Russia launched a Soyuz-2-1v rocket into space, carrying a classified payload for the Ministry of Defense. Satellite Kosmos-2575 is now in orbit and under the control of the Russian Air and Space Forces"

Maybe this "satellite" is already carrying a nuke?

Sounds like a revamped "Iraq has WMD" time for action type claim.

TBH it could be as relatively trivial as Russia having launched a military satellite with high resolution optical capabilities - when this war kicked off Russia was down to one fully working military satellite capable of high-res photography and that was still well behind the features and resolution of the latest Western commercial satellites never mind military and were having to rely a lot on lower resolution Russian commercial/weather satellites or what they could get from foreign satellite imagery sources.

Was Putin’s plan to isolate the US and attack or destabilise the US with Xi. Maybe those Chinese balloons are actually Russian picking targets.

China hasn't been involved in a conflict for something like 40 years. People seem worried about them but they're a very inward looking nation, more interested in growing their economy and increasing their quality of life than fighting any distant wars. They basically don't even have a blue water Navy.

There was a plan to fight for every corner of it, including people sequestered in hideaways in the ground with supplies whose mission was to do as much damage behind enemy lines as possible - including instructions to kill anyone civilian who might be aware of their whereabouts before the area was overrun...

As I understand it, the plan was to go to the Winchester, sit tight, and wait for it to all blow over.
