Opinion: Weaponisation of space makes losers of us all

Original: Opinion | Whatever Trump claims, weaponisation of space makes losers of us all

An opinion piece in the South China Morning Post argues that, whatever Donald Trump claims, the weaponisation of space ultimately produces losers all around. The article pushes back against suggestions that militarising orbit offers strategic advantage, warning that it risks global instability. It joins a wider debate over arms control in space and the security consequences of great-power rivalry extending beyond Earth.

Why now: Ongoing debate over US space policy and Trump's claims about space weapons has prompted commentary warning of the risks of militarising orbit.
