To the editor: On web page A8 of the Oct. 15 Los Angeles Occasions, I discover an article during which the U.S. confirms it has deployed weapons into area (“There’s a lack of transparency in what space weapons nations are pursuing,” Oct. 12). That is maybe the largest blunder our pricey chief has stumbled us into but.
The Outer Area Treaty was concluded in 1967 through the Chilly Warfare, and was signed by the U.S., Russia, China and all different identified nuclear-armed nations. This after nuclear checks have been performed by each the U.S. and Russia in 1962 with devastating outcomes again right here on Earth.
That’s why the treaty declares that area is a weapons-free zone that may solely be used for peaceable functions.
Those that foolishly established the ridiculous U.S. Area Command (“Area Pressure,” implying army) could have dedicated us right into a snowballing, falling stack of dominoes that began with Russia invading Ukraine, after which us invading Iran — intensifying a regional battle between proxies of Sunni and Shiite states Saudi Arabia and Iran, respectively. And that doesn’t even take into accounts Israel and what it’d do, together with the vacillating strikes and statements of intent from our president. You may say he has already began World Warfare III.
