The chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, is leading a push to militarize space. He wants to create a new arm of the military dedicated to confronting Russia and China. On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we examine the Space Corps plan, part of a budget package that will deliver nearly $700 billion in funding to the military, billions more than requested by the Trump administration. The plan provides for combat-ready space forces that will fight wars in outer space. Systems proposed for space warfare range from measures as simple as ground and space-based anti-missiles to railguns, space based lasers, orbital mines, and similar weaponry. Despite rhetoric from supporters and the propaganda media, the United States holds a clear technology lead and spends at least 10 times more on military space operations than every other country on earth combined. If adopted, the Space Corps will largely benefit the military establishment and the military industrial complex and put the people of earth in further danger of never-ending war.
