With Trump’s new Space Force, comes Jerusalem’s ( or Tel Aviv, if you like ) comparative military advantage in the Middle East. Now under the Air Force Secretary, when the United States Space Force evolve into a fully fledged arm of the United States military, you can expect that it’s secured communication, observatory, and global positioning capabilities would be leveraged by Israel for its regional and international pursuits.
Contemporary and future wars are no longer about soldier numbers and or volumes. Iran’s Qassem Soleimani demonstrated this with his assymetrical success in:
- Yemen against Saudi Arabia, using the Houthis
- Syria against ISIS and other sunni militia
- Iraq by way of multiple shia paramilitia
- Lebanon and Gaza against the Lebanese regime and Israel respectively
The world’s labelled terror organizations demonstrated this also. Israel demonsrated this against the Iranian quest to a quicker nuclear break out capability when it unleashed stuxnet with United States co-operation against Iranian centrifuges. The United States demonstrated this with the Obama era drone assassination program, then inherited by Trump and which executed Soleimani this January. Evidently, to cripple civilisations in our days require not soldiers numbers per se but skilled, capable, committed operatives.
Targeting the GETRR:
- Gas
- Electrical grid
- Telecommunication infrastructure
- Roads
- Railway
D day sabotage in assymetrical offensives, are victory – clinching just as the first successful nuclear impact may determine the eventual winner in an all out war. Military superiority in space allow for defense and so deterrence while providing the means for pre emptive offense that may prevent actual wars. Trump’s Space Force would thus enhance US – Israeli military superiority in the long term except the constitution of the United States national security establisment as it stand today, is restructured to new objectives overall.
