So let the cops deal with them. If they’re looking to kill someone, why go to them?

Let them show up, look ridiculous, then make fun of them.

You know, you have a fair point on the OST itself. I think what I was getting at was that you don’t need nuclear weapons in orbit to cause significant strategic-level harm to a country.
