The US Space Force has launched its first foreign command in South Korea on Wednesday.

Experts say the new unit will help the US monitor security threats from North Korea, Russia and China.

I suppose it was necessary, high time to call the bluffs of these dictatorships, hopefully getting them to the negotiating tables with a stronger hand on our side.

 

Hope things work out as the anylists are predicting!
