U.S. intelligence has identified a significant national security threat stemming from Russia's development of a space-based anti-satellite nuclear weapon, characterized as 'highly concerning and destabilizing.' This revelation, described as a 'grave but not imminent' threat, was made public through warnings from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, urging the Biden administration to declassify the information. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, surprised by Turner's public announcement, has scheduled classified briefings with senior members of Congress, including a meeting with the 'Gang of Eight.' The intelligence, described as 'very sensitive,' indicates a potential to disrupt global satellite networks through radiation, posing a significant challenge to international security. This new intelligence about Russian nuclear capabilities has been shared with Congress and U.S. allies, including Canada and the U.K.
