Yikes, that Russia satellite was armed with a bottle of superglue to glue shut the solar shield covering the billion dollar optics of an American spy satellite. Space warfare is not even a step up from kindergarten pranks.

There are literally hundreds of ways of disabling a satellite without turning it into a debris field.

Space War is an oxymoron when your “enemy” is your technological peer.

America has the most “toys” in space and it needs to learn how to play nice.

And to think' not that long ago the American position was that space would be a place for peaceful scientific purposes and advances!

The correct term for these satellites are Anti Satellite Satellites.

Now the little green men will have to step carefully around the (more) debris before beginning the invasion...

Space kind of protects itself. No one wants to loose access to it and the only way to have acces to it is peacefully. Any belicose action by anyone would close space to everyone including the aggressor. There is no way to limit space use to the good guys only. The bad guys know that it is a glass house situation. You cannot throw a rock if you have a glass house. So no one will limit space use up there, it would be limited here on earth by sanctions, etc. The only problem up there would be Corona virus type of attacks, invisible and hard to track to the source attacks.
