"Dark Sky" funded by the Pentagon. Sounds chipper.

If there's anything in the name, I would guess an anti-satellite EMP.

They did meaningful mission badges in NROL a few decades ago, someone found the birds thanks to that and they stopped. Best to assume nothing.

If that were the case it'd be just another treaty violation from out of control spooks.

China is testing FOBS weapons, any relevant treaty is already a joke.

"We broke the treaty because they broke the treaty" fails as an argument when Both Sides™ use it, though.

It doesn't really matter if the argument is morally satisfying.

The moral altitude is a fallacy, however.
