eh up..what's going on here then...

"The United States will preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space... and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to US national interests,"

So basically what they're saying about space is:



mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine...

Par for the course then.

'National interests' doesn't that particular phrase give you the right to claim/do just about anything? A bit like saying something is a 'Just cause' - it's entirely subjective, unfortunately for everyone else.
