> what country has the budget to knock out twenty four satellites in quick succession?

The only countries between whom a war would be a globally consequential event: the United States, China, and Russia.




I understand your point, but I think your choice of words underestimates the global consequences of war.


Actually any country with a nuclear weapon should be on that list.

And that is quite a few: Israel, UK, France, India with North Korea/Iran not that far behind.


That's not enough - you also have to be able to deliver the warhead to the satellite.

It's not very easy to do.


+ Pakistan
