The Republican party has urged the Biden administration to reveal classified intelligence regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans to deploy nuclear weapons into space. According to sources from US intelligence, there have been reports of Russia's advancements in developing a new, space-based nuclear munition. This has caused concern for Britain and its NATO allies, who fear the potential threat it could pose to satellite networks.
The deployment of these nuclear weapons would not be aimed at Earth, but rather aimed at disrupting satellite networks. US officials have expressed the danger of this potential threat and have called for action to be taken. Congressman Mike Turner, the head of the House intelligence committee, has requested that President Biden declassify all information related to this threat. He believes that it is a serious national security issue that needs to be openly discussed with Congress, the administration, and their allies.
Unnamed sources from ABC News have stated that the security threat mentioned by Congressman Turner involves Russia's plan to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite weapon in space. One of the sources called this a "big deal" and expressed concern over the sensitivity of the issue. Democratic Congressman Jim Himes, who is also a ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, agrees that this is a significant matter but urges people not to panic.
Meanwhile, Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has dismissed the reports as a "White House ploy". Interestingly, this news comes after Putin's recent comment in an interview where he stated that he preferred Biden over former President Donald Trump. When asked who would be "better for us" between Biden and Trump, Putin replied that Biden is a more experienced and predictable politician of the old school. He also added that regardless of the outcome of the 2024 US election, Russia will work with whoever the American people have confidence in. This is the first time Putin has publicly commented on the upcoming election, where it is expected that Biden and Trump will face off once again.
