WASHINGTON – The U.S. military needs to better protect its satellites and strengthen its ability to use them as weapons as the uncharted battlefield of space becomes increasingly crowded and dangerous, Pentagon leaders say.
"It's a domain, like air land and sea," said Gen. Kevin Chilton, who led U.S. Strategic Command until he retired late last month. "Space is not just a convenience. It's become a critical part in every other (battlefield) domain."
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower

This may not seem "germaine" to the topic, but we basically "share" the space station with Russia, but do we share it with China, India or other nations, I think we do (idk), or does China have their own space station they share with India and other rogue nations (idk). It seems like up in space all countries get along and share, but down here on earth there is mayhem and discord in almost every country.
"Star-Wars" seems to be surfacing more and more lately, What two or more countries may concievably "engage" each other, in the future, just like fighter pilots back in WWI and WWII? The perception has been given that countries like Russia and China are evil and dangerous, when in all actuality, we get along just fine "up in space". Using a space based missile defense system is different in my opinion and (idk) enough about that subject either. To protect their satellites from "precisely what "threat or threats"?

regarding the willingness to partner up on space domination,is there a chink in the armour?
why do the americans need a framework partnership on this?
are they willing to share this tech (unconditional) or is there an entrance fee?
will that entrance fee be used to enhance the system or is this an excercise in throwing monies down a rather large singularity?
are the perception and reality of this system completely at opposite poles?
could it be the case that this could possibly be an orchestrated public relations excercise with a view of showing the rest of the planet that america has the solution to global security?
these guys on here with connections, ask your connections to 'show not tell'.
tell you what, i will happily supply a time and grid reference if you are willing to re-acquire a space deployed weapon, target said area and press the big red button.
if it is the case that someone on here can talk to someone who can talk to someone who can facilitate this request, please do get back to me and we can arrange an observable demonstration. it would add credibility to the whole subject wouldn't one agree?
