Reply to comment by Aero-Nautic in China’s space station will run high-energy beam experiment for controversial solar power plant: chief scientist by Soupjoe5

It is top secret, but the US already has space-borne nukes. I learned this from a person I know and trust who should NOT have told me. That this is denied and that no other nation on Earth has criticized the US for violating this treaty likely indicates that other nations are in defiance as well.

Sadly, that's a little heavy on the severity of a claim, and a little low on the backing up of that claim. Not to say that I don't expect the major powers to have space based satellite interception at the very least by now. That recent "secret military" payload on the Falcon Heavy for example... wouldn't be surprised if that was something like that.

I could never conceivably back up this claim, and if I could, it would mean I was involved in espionage. I don't know this to be true for certain, but again, I was told this directly by a person I know to be trustworthy, who would have reason to know, and who made a very grave error in telling me. It is, however, such juicy information that flies in the face of what folks "know to be true" that I feel like it's my duty and honor to expose this information.

If folks want to believe our national security is dependent on ICBMs, sub-launched missiles, or airborne bombers alone, that's fine. However, there are already nuclear warheads deployed in space.

Then we're in for interesting times during a solar storm...

Probably a well-mitigated consideration, if it truly exists.
