The United States is once again talking about “war in space.” Thus, the commander of the US Space Forces, General John Raymond, speaking via video link at the International Security Forum in Halifax, said that space was becoming a sphere of military operations, and named the main task of the department entrusted to him.
“It is clear that outer space is becoming a sphere of military operations. Our main task as a space force is to be able to contain the conflict, to contain it from the very beginning in space, ”said the American general.
However, he added: “I do not think that anyone will win this war.”
When asked by journalists whether he considers Russia a rival for the United States, John Raymond answered in the affirmative: “Absolutely a rival.”
“We were rivals in space from the very beginning. We have a long history, even at the height of the Cold War we cooperated in the field of civil space, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
Recall, as the website kp.ru wrote, that space is the next area of military operations, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated.
