with a militaristic Russia and China active on the world stage,
is anyone actually so nave to think America would just stand by and
let them do as they will?

They've both proven, time and again, that they cannot be trusted.

(cue Effete to come marching in) at the behest of his
patron country (pick one of the two above), and start
blathering on about how much he hates the hypocrisy of
the U.S. and how only Russia and/or China will 'save space'
or some such nonsense...

If we had not encroached in Space (so close to Russian satellites) Vlad the Invader wouldn't have been forced by the United States into doing this.

Russia is incredibly overmatched when it comes to conventional capability...especially in space.

They're like North Korea. And if the NorKs were a bit smarter, they'd follow Russia's example.

Vlad the INVADER, invaded because he wanted to start the
resurrection of the old USSR. He invaded and has so far
failed miserably.

No thanks to Russian worshiping sycophants within the GOP.
