(LibertySociety.com) – When former President Donald Trump announced he was creating another military branch called the Space Force, Liberals and the media laughed at him. The commander-in-chief didn’t allow the mocking headlines and snide comments to deter him. He said he believed there could eventually be conflicts in outer space, and he wanted to make sure the US prepared itself.
On March 10, the China National Space Administration announced it was teaming up with Russia to build a lunar base. The two countries plan to build it on the moon’s surface or in its orbit. The agency claimed they would use the base for research activities like “lunar exploration and utilization, lunar-based observation,” and other projects.
Space Jam — China and Russia team up to take the Moon … but how will the U.S. respond? It currently bans space cooperation with China. https://t.co/PjNv9K5nNe via @politico #Space

Nothing to see here, just two authoritarian governments building a lunar base. What could possibly go wrong? It looks like President Trump was onto something when he created the Space Force to protect the US and its allies.
