Comment on Chinese researchers suggest lasers and sabotage to counter Musk’s Starlink satellites

Unless we are talking about an all out two sided world war with no neutral parties blocking space is out of the question. It’s the same reason we don’t see nations using nuclear weapons: Their use would cause world wide condemnation and at best sanctions against you, at worst more enemy combatants.
