Default Space Force?

https://www.rt.com/usa/475636-trump-space-force-ndaa/

How to philosophically engage in space war?

My suggestion is to openly do the most significant
thing possible. Design a war front to decimate all
a countries satellites.

Be bold and place synchronous orbiting satellite killers.

Really bad idea. This is the equivalent to a doomsday machine. Build
enough of these on 'all' sides and you can junk up orbit enough to deny
access to space from the Earth at all. (See plot below):

No need for a Space force if I can blanket the Earth with fragments of
'Gabal-Thorium G'. Or just ordinary metal with a lifetime measured in
centuries.

We're already staring to have serious discussions of the implication of
having lots of LEO Starlink satellites floating around up there. It's
going to complicate ground based astronomy for sure.

The value of a Space force, much like the SAC in the cold war days was
the capability not the actual deployment in war time. Leverage to force
treaty negotiations, which will be essential to ensure free access to
space for all nations.

Well your concern is right. Maybe send a killer
satellite that attaches and gently changes the
synchronous satellite's orbit. Make it point
in the wrong direction. Making no space trash.
