But at least we've gotten rid of anti-communists officers in our Space Force

The US Director of National Intelligence released a report last month claiming China’s upcoming space station poses a threat to national security.
The station is intended to “gain the military, economic, and prestige benefits that Washington has accrued from space leadership,” according to the “Annual Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community” report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The report said that it’s a part of Beijing’s bigger effort to compromise US security.
“[The People’s Liberation Army] will continue to integrate space services — such as satellite reconnaissance and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) — and satellite communications into its weapons and command-and-control systems to erode the US military’s information advantage,” the report said.
The report also said that China is readying counterspace weapons to target US satellites.
“Beijing continues to train its military space elements and field new destructive and nondestructive ground- and space-based antisatellite (ASAT) weapons,” the report said.
That means they’re developing things such as spacecraft that can intercept and capture US satellites and/or Earth-based lasers that can disrupt them.
The report continued, “China has already fielded ground-based ASAT missiles intended to destroy satellites in LEO and ground-based ASAT lasers probably intended to blind or damage sensitive space-based optical sensors on LEO satellites.”
The shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline was child’s play.
