sixth branch of our armed forces.just as in the past when we created the air force, establishing the space force is an idea whose time has come. the space environment is fundamentally changed in the last generation. what was once peaceful and uncontested is now crowded and adversarial. today other nations are seeking to disrupt our space-based systems and challenge american supremacy in space as never before. for many years, nations from russia and china to north korea and iran have pursued weapons to jam, blind, and disable our navigation and communication satellites, via electronic attacks from the ground. but recently, our adversaries have been working to bring new weapons of war into space itself. in 2007, china launched a missile that tracked and destroyed one of its own satellites, a highly-provocative demonstration of china's growing capability to militarize space. russia's been designing an airborne laser to disrupt our space based system. both china and russia have been conducting highly sophisticated on orbi

space force! but why do we need space force?sts could, through the use of drones, get into space and become a very dangerous hazard to our freedom. - i'm sure that there will be war in space. - let's not forget 9/11, okay? i think that space force could help prevent the next 9/11. - which would be 9/12. - 9/12. 9/13. - okay. - i think isis could get to space. - space isis. - space isis. right, space isis. but do we really need a space force? - doesn't make a lot of sense, and we'd be wasting a lot of dollars, but at the same time, it's just gonna be cool. - let me just unpack what you just said. - right. - we need to have a space force. it's gonna be a waste of money. - yup. - but it's gonna be cool. - right. - so we need to have it. do you stand by that statement? - stand by that statement 100%. - [bleep] yeah, space force. - pretty much. pretty much we need regulations in space, because you can do whatever you want. - isn't trump against regulation? - yeah. but as a... i just stuttered myself here. you know what? space force,

the us air force wants to defend its turf. the us military members that are closest to space operations understand what it would be take for them to be centrally operated to deter threats. there are many who understand this and worry about it being implemented correctly, and with real follow—through by the administration and by congress. tim, briefly, what is your betting? do you think it will happen, or it won't, eventually? we'll see, we'll see. it could be a bargaining chip for future congress. but the thing to look at is a bipartisan statement released today by key lawmakers who have been behind this idea, both democrats and republicans. there has been an agreement in congress that it is a idea, it's possible that president will make it a priority and see it enacted. with the announcement of new american sanctions sending the rouble tumbling in value, the russian leadership has condemned them as absolutely unfriendly, and illegal under international law. kremlin officials say they are now working on retaliation. the sancti

logically iran should evacuate their forces and forces under their command. they did not. that's when the strategy changed. the newest strategy in syria for iran is basically has two main goals. one is projection of power in regards to the shiite community the second and more important to have forces the point. it's been something they've been talking about for the first day of the revolution it was named the jerusalem force, to eventually one day liberate jerusalem. that was the stated goal of the islamic republic. so they chose this opportunity to be in syria, to be as close to israelis as ever dreamed up in order to counterbalance his role and influence in that area. to do those two new objectives and new strategies, iran needed to have forces under his command which included up to 80000 shiite militia acting as the ground force, the land force they needed the full freedom of movement in the country. they needed to have a direct supply line from iran to syria to tell air bridge between the airport they can move heavy equipment. they had to create a land bridge connectin
