    'Serious national security threat' is 'Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon in SPACE': Biden urged to declassify all materials after ominous warning from top Republican Mike Turner
    • House Intel Chair Turner released a cryptic statement about the 'threat'
    • Demanded Biden declassify all the details so lawmakers and allies can respond
    • Reports later surfaced that the threat was related to Russia's plans to put a nuclear weapon in space

    The U.S. believes Russia wants to put a nuclear weapon in space, according to reports sparked by a top Republican warning about a 'serious national security threat'.

    House Intel Chair Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said members of Congress had been made aware of the threat which is reported to be related to Russia and its threat from space - but wouldn't go into details.

    It later emerged that it was related to Moscow's plan to put a nuclear weapon into space to target and destroy satellites the world depends on, ABC News reported.

    Turner asked the president to declassify the information so lawmakers could discuss the ramifications in the ominous warning that sparked a response from the White House and furious speculation.

    Moscow has already shown how it can be lethal from space by testing a hit-to-kill anti-satellite missile in 2021.

    Russia smashed a defunct spy satellite launched in 1982 into 1,500 pieces of debris in the strike and sparked fury around the world.

    In 2020, Moscow fired an anti-satellite weapon from its Cosmos 2543 satellite while in orbit.

    Because Russia would never do something like this. Putin is too kind. A man of peace. And the fake news media unfairly accuses Russia of doing bad things. This is obviously Ukraine pretending to be Russia.

    Well, if Russia made it up to space first, then by all accounts, it should be theirs right? And they should be allowed to do what they want with it, even if others have made it there since?

    Maybe space voted to let Russia put their missiles there?

    Which one?

    Here are some popular Russian plants:
    • Russian sage
      This low-maintenance plant is native to central Asia and has gray-green leaves and silvery-gray stems. In late summer, it produces small, purple-blue flowers in whorls along long stems. The Blue Spire variety of Russian sage has dark blue flower spikes that bloom in mid-summer.
    • Baby's breath
      This popular cut flower is native to southern Russia and is used in bouquets and flower beds.
    • Chamomile
      The national flower of Russia, chamomile flowers bloom between June and August on cliffs, grasslands, and fields.
    • Lilium lancifolium
      This Asian species of lily is native to China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East.

    I did miss your purposely mislabeled subject headings. I saw this and instantly knew what it was you were doing and who would've been triggered had he not vanished off the face of the earth.

    Go ahead and try it. See what the aliens do. We've lured them out with nuclear weapons before.

    "This threat is emerging the day before a vote on reauthorizing vast domestic spying capabilities?" wrote one journalist. "What are the chances!"
