War in space? Top generals sound alarm on 'menace' US faces from Russia, China | Reality Check

- This week, Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart speaks to two top Generals (Air Force and Space Force - recently retired), who are sounding the alarm on “the menace” the U.S. faces from adversaries like Russia and China in space. In a recent op-ed in "The Hill," they outline critical dangers a militarized real-life Star Wars would mean for everyday life on Earth: from useless phones to no access to banks. Life as we know it completely shut down. This follows an urgent warning from Congress to the public last month about an alleged Russian space nuke, which the White House has downplayed.

Someone was using great wisdom to put Ross and his brilliant brain on News Nation. Whoever made the decision, I extend my deepest gratitude.
i do too extend my gratitude! hi ross ! 👋🏽✌🏽👽🛸
Absolutely!!!
This guy don't ever answer important questions. But Ross did a great job like usual. Hello from Quebec Canada ✌️
😊❤Quebec.
A fellow Québécois ❤️
Ontario
Im a fan of Ross! great journalist and I like him, no attitude, just a friendly bloke💯 Hello from Vlaams Brabant, Belgium 😄
I work as an electrician inside the Darlington Nuclear plant, I'm always keeping my eye out for UAP the last 2 years. I haven't witnessed one yet around the station, but did encounter one in wooler ontario a few weeks ago. 15/20 ft up moving making no noise, orange and yellow lights flashing. I have a poor quality video on my phone of it. It was at 10pm at night. I don't believe it had a physical structure, it was orb like. I've seen drones, this thing was dead silent.
"I do not have a personal opinion on uap's", yes you do. Everyone does, that's the government speaking for this man.
Yea he's a coward, tell us what you know!!!
Of course, he is literally being paid by the government to do a warmongering media tour.
I am passed Ross Coulthart would even agree to this. He says his biggest regret is reporting that Iran had nukes. Here he is doing the exact same thing.
Not sure how you rationalize “watch and read with interest” and not have an opinion.
🤫
Agreed id say even plans for various scenarios as well given who he is and how long this has been happening.
What is most unsettling is the disgusting hunger for weaponry from those military nuts.
What else us new?
I have neighbors who are religious and have dozens of semi auto rifles and think automatic should be legal😂. I can't picture Jesus Christ with a automatic rifle
"the US takes it's treaty obligations very seriously." must be the biggest load of bollocks i've heard in years
Seriously don't wanna get caught cheating 😆
They have broken most of all the treaties especially with native Americans. Cannot be trusted. Look at the Vietnam War, and War on Iraq.
"taking them very serious;y" and "honoring them" are obviously two very different things.
Try that with a bank. "I'll take these repayment coupons very seriously". What does that even mean?
Ya ask the American Indians,
😂 They (, with respect to my good American fellows) bombed 2 big cities , tested nukes for years..And the others wil do theirs own to protect their land.Who'd who to decide the badasses?
Thank you, Ross, for continuing to pursue this important topic. I maintain that a few hundred hours reading the UFO/UAP literature will convince almost anyone that "UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying over your head,” to quote the late Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian Minister of National Defense.
That's because it's not et it's ours, transmorphic wing technology and electromagnetic Enervy first started by Hitler. Yuk on Hitler btw
The man is masterful at blatant yet tasteful redirection.
Rtd General Maradona.....The man is a born dribbler
Retired whistle-blowers usually aren't really retired.
This general was adept in saying not very much, wrapped in a copious amount of flannel. It was almost impressive.
Rtd General Maradona.....The man is a born dribbler
His guests are lacking in most episodes
How come this general knows so much about space and a pending war in space, but none of them will admit the existence of extraterrestrials…. 🤷🏽♂️ it’s laughable 😂🫣
Two different subjects
This guy is a master of evading or denying to answer questions. Ross did a great job of pressing him for information and trying not to let him off the hook. This gut 100 percent knew about the Starfish Prime tests. Being from the AirForce, there was no way he was going to answer a UAP question.
Excellent coverage as usual Mr. Coulthart.
Here's what I heard... "We need more taxpayers dollars.". We can't comment about obviously necessary space based weapons." "Russia and China should be ashamed of themselves for demonstrating capabilities we similarly demonstrated many years ago." "Even though I was a general in the air force, I can't be expected to know about nuclear tests that happened before I was born."
Your onto it mate, Ross has just completely shilled to the grubs and war peddlers that he espouses to be against.
true in space
According to Kirkpatrick we can get rid of our air force because filming balloons can out perform our best jets 10 to 1. We can give those savings over to the space force.
Mirror mirror of the wall.... first.
Stop w the fear mongering. You people have crossed too many lines & you are NOT taking me there!
Always quick to talk about big bad Russia and China, but these military types suddenly go mute when UAPs are mentioned.
I don't understand why Ross bothered? He's insulting us and himself with engaging with these trashcans. THIS IS FACE OF WHO YOUR FIGHTING
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE US ONLY SHOOTING DOWN A SATELLITE IN 1985 IS A LIE.!! My very good friends father was a Colonel in the US Air Force and was incharge of a program in the early 2000s that built and tested a missile made specifically to be shot into space and destroy satellites from the ground. He moved from California to the DC area specifically to be part of this program. We were on a camping trip and when I asked him if we were doing that as a message to China or Russia, he got visibly flustered and changed the subject and did not talk about it any further. If I can remember the exact year I’ll add to this comment…..but I believe it was in the mid-2000s roughly.
Some of these "whistleblowers" are spreading disinformation... like this guy
yeah he got flustered because it was neither Russia or China but Aliens the weapon was built to shoot at.
I really do enjoy this program, listening to it while I eat my dinner or do chores around the house after work.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Why are we not seeing "leaders" warning of digital currency.
Use cash as much as possible.
Laziness will be the end of us
Cash is liberty..
Couldn't agree more
Hi, the QFS. Quantum Financial System.Will be gold backed, this system allows no gaming, no resessions every 7 to 10 yrs. All banking activities will be well tracked. 11 large world wide banks have signed on already. The large private banksters not in control.
@@marciagagnon2487 pure insanity!!!
I read the memo. Thank you for sharing.
Why not try on working out peace deals instead of developing more weapons
It's all about profit. Soon it will be about prophecy.
Doesn't sell as many "defense" contracts
Keep going Ross.
Kudos to you, Ross Coulthart, for interviewing top officials in the know. These people would not want to be interviewed by many journalists. I attribute it to your respectful, gentle manner, level-headed demeanour, and legal background.
One has to have been living in fantasia not to be aware of the arms race in space that started in 1957. Space has always been a theater of war.
Good job Ross! Have to say, this is frightening yet not surprising. Space is being militarized and it’s beyond frightening.
Great questions for the Gen., Ross!👍
Great job Ross and team!
Who are you attacking, general? Innocent civilians? Here in the US? With DEWs? I’m more worried about the MIC than Russia.
Is the US ever a 'menace'?
I noticed that when Ross asked him if he had knowledge of the uaps he pulled in his bottom lip... perhaps a body language sign that he knows more than he says.???
And stuttering in reply.
Ross, thank you for this discussion. It is an important and serious one. I have read law review articles and books on this subject for years.
More good work Ross, keep it coming!
If I can ask a question: if there is this organisation that wants to keep the UAP’s argument secret, why the congress doesn’t call out these people as traitors of the country and constitution?
Fear, fear and more fear. Peddle that fear.
I'm glad somebody noticed. Fear is used as a weapon of control.
Thanks Ross ❤
Thank you as always Ross, for your excellent reporting. Also thanks for answering questions at the end of this program. I had completely missed the story about how jets were diverted a few days before the Alaska shoot-down, encountering nine or so anomalous craft which zipped off. My take on the UAP situation is that gradually as our technology and access to the skies and space has improved, so has our visibility of these objects.
It makes sense. And as our technology continues to improve, I suspect we will all continue to see more, and learn more about the Phenomenon. Lastly I agree with you that disclosure will come from people, as opposed to the government. Whistleblowers seem to be leading the charge, and I expect that to continue. Let’s wait and see what happens with the rest of 2024.
Way to do your due diligence, Ross, in holding the general's feet to the fire on some very touchy issues. You gave him the opportunity for candour, he just didn't take it. Understandable since we may be sure he's under pressure to limit what he reveals in public. Tom Wilson's experience suggests he's been reminded before stepping before the mic that his rank and retirement are at stake, and perhaps more. Keep up the great work on all our behalfs! Or, perhaps, our behalves. (Hmm.) Cheers mate!
Halo from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Hi from UK. Are Russia messing with Poland's domestic flights GPS systems cause they are here.
Very good, as usual Ross. Thanks so much for the info you dig out. This subject is so important.
Great work Ross! Love your work mate ✌🏼✌🏼
I can comment about DEW’s… Yes they do have them in space as well as EMP technology.
I deeply appreciate your journalism Ross 👍🏼
Mr. Coulthart, Please Interview Dr. Lacatski and Dr. Davis about the "Subject" Thank you and cheers from Toronto 🍺🇨🇦
Very much enjoyed this interview
Did you enjoy being lied to
@Corteum actually I didn't the issue is most people are interested in celebrity lifestyles and Joe Biden and trump if that demographic where to turn their attention to transparency of UAP we might get somewhere.Strength in numbers unless 1st handers come fourth now
You are so graceful and considerate when asking the delicate questions Ross.
Nice work my friend and thank you for asking him all those very difficult to avoid questions.
He's very good at not giving a lot of information.
Great show, very interesting and informative, thx 👍
Great reporting, thanks!
Great stuff Ross, as usual!
Amazing! So many words and so little information
He sounds like me doing a presentation in college 😂
Very interesting, thank you
Great interview, Ross! More like this.
Thank you, Ross. That was fantastic and interesting again!
And another THANK YOU FOR TAKING SOME TIME TO ANSWER VIEWER QUESTIONS ‼️I often read part of the questions and so now and then there are some really good and unique questions in there.
SO HERE'S AN IDEA: maybe you can dedicate an entire show to viewer questions, every month, every other month or once every quarter of a year. I'm sure many viewers would like that and it helps people to actively engage the topic instead of them only absorbing the information.
And if not here at 'Reality Check' then maybe in your other show with Bryce Zabel. Which of course is 'Need To Know.'
Have a good one! And of course love & greetings from The Netherlands ❤ 👋🏻😃
✨🛸👽✨🛸✨✨🛸✨✨✨🛸✨
3:30 I maintain a healthy skepticism towards Congressman Mike Turner's statements, particularly those that don't seem to align with the public's best interests, and instead appear to prioritize his or his donors' financial gains. It's essential for him to provide more transparency regarding his efforts to undermine the Schumer-Rounds legislation in the NDAA. The public deserves a clear explanation of his actions and how they serve the greater good.
Great show, Fantastic guest !
Thanks Ross.
Ross asking all the hard questions! Love it.
I did not give permission to have satellites fly over my head... have you?
The answer is yes if you use GPS , watch tv as it’s happening (sports, the Olympics coming up, phones, weather reporting, etc.
The discussion of space and space warfare needs to include ALL space-faring nations if true diplomacy and cooperation is to be maintained.
One-sided conversations can lead to unintended consequences.
Great interview, Ross, as usual!!
this was a very interesting epiosde, thank you for all the information and questions and putting out important topics. I wonder how do the countries react when incidents like with the russian satellite power demonstration with violating air space occur. With the threat of possible war are they just going to get away with whatever they like? Or do they get to pay money for violating air space as a fine? there must be a reaction when a countrie is violating law right?
19:49 "A-a-a-a-gain, I I I I I can't comment..." - so short but sweet: YES! :D
If there's Aliens they should destroy all nukes
That solves nothing, Dippy. The scientific knowledge of how to construct them remains.
@@FMDD168aliens don't like nukes...dippity
@@skyw4278 They dont, but theyre not going to take them off us. That's for us to do ourselves. Theyre not going to evolve huamnity and do it all for us.
The answer to that last question was a super qualified answer" Not within my ..." lol
I’m always impressed by your questions 🎉 your knowledge is great , your questions goes straight to the point… Thanks to keep us informed.
Good luck from an Italian unseen friend 😊.
Curious about the “Russian Satellite” image. Doesn’t look like a satellite to me. Any additional info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
We did a kinetic ASAT exactly like Russia and China, so it's a joke if we complain what they are doing is wrong yet we've done it ourselves.
Thank you for this informative and revealing episode of Reality Check.
Yes!
I love this show. The most up to date by far
I had no idea this was even an issue, thanks for unlocking new nightmares Ross 😂
so honest, love his answers
Keep up the good work my boi
Richard Dolan discussed over a decade ago that the US was shifting to a strategy of "Dominion over Space". It is inevitable until we get smarter and more peaceful as a species.
“None within my responsibilities “ when asked about UAP’s causing hassles. Typical response.
Quality content, and really fascinating subject matter. ! Thanks Ross for continuing your results of investigation. We should ALL remain open minded with regards to UAP/Alien visitation.
Great podcast, thank you
Always good to see programs hosted by RC. He knows his material.
I can not confirm nor deny that this is a ver interesting interview.
Celestial Eagle
The first and only time a satellite was destroyed by an F-15 came on Sep. 13, 1985 when an F-15A Eagle (76-0084) nicknamed ‘Celestial Eagle’ piloted by Major General (then Major) Wilbert D. `Doug’ Pearson Junior took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, and destroyed the Solwind P78-1 satellite, which the US had only launched some six years before, but was having issues with depleted batteries.
Awesome 👍🏻
Should have accepted what Russia proposed ban all weapons in Space not select what you want to ban period. The US double standard is sickening
Examples:
1. We support a two state solution in Palestine then Vito the proposal for Palestine recognition.
2. We support the One China Policy the gives billion of military aid to Taiwan at the same time
At 27:30, the chime from Disneyland's Star Tours can be heard.
Where's the buried UFO?
In north dakota
In uranus
Wolf Creek
Yup, Out with it. The whole " I can't tell you the story of the century so i can protect my sources" seems a little convenient.
Don’t be disappointed but there a no ufos. All instances are revived ancient tech. They are just not telling us. It’s a better story to make us all think it’s ETs. Once again sorry to disappoint but no ETs either. Only inter-dimensional entities. Truth is out there but not many know it or can see it.
39:00 talking Alaska shootdowns. Ross I sent you my notes on this from where I had a Teams meeting with my US Senator’s DoD staffers, you acknowledged my sending you that so thanks for that! We were live in person, and I pressed them on the shootdowns, what were the other objects? What was shot down? What was recovered? They stated the Alaskan and other shootdowns were “active investigations” with more details to come.
Multiple rebooting was detected in the 70s that prompted the release of lawsuits against former contractors
Tarkin moving all funds into project Stardust was awesome
Just when I thought Ross gave up he knocks out another one. I’m saying this because Ross is a super rational person much more so than I could ever be. And this uap//ufo//alien topic is such a demoralising and stigmatised topic it really makes you sink into it and throw it all away or question one’s own reality …. My respects Ross 💪. Please continue pushing forward on this topic.
I am a United States Citizen. I am also A Veteran and a Patriot Serve as a US Navy Corpsman from 2001-2006. I don't agree everything on the decisions made by our US Govt. You can't say to other countries you can't do this while on the other hand does whatever it wants.
Project blue beam. Gonna false flag the aliens.
Keep up the good work ross i ve beam studing the ufo uap topic for 40+ year and have never lost sight of it is
Ross Coulthart, PLEASE talk to Col. Karl Nell ASAP !
Big fan. Pleasure to hear someone speak who is almost as smart as I am.
Interesting, the General didn't mention India.
It's almost comical watching the Americans complaining about the space threat of the Chinese when the Americans have already created a new Space Force. What a joke.
Cheers Ross great work as always mate, doing great work seeing a lot of support growing well behind this show of yours it's a great achievement never thought is see the day that a show like this would exist let alone have real impact, your dead right though not going to get a lot of whist the current climate is problematic but with patience and tenacity like yours mate it's in the bag :)
Good conversation! Cyber warfare is very concerning.
At times it was like listening to a Congressional Hearing, 'I can't say, I am unable to comment' et al.
Every ballistic weapon goes through space... the us has thousands of ballistic missiles with nukes that can be exploded in space... I dont get what the point is here... Why is this a thing now?
We appreciate your devotion 👽👍
So, stop provoking them.
21:38 There are Numerous projects researching potential methods of _Neutralising_ or just Minimising the effects of EMP, whether Atomic B_mb generated or _Otherwise._
One particular *_Classified_* field employs _Neutrinos,_ directed at the Source of the Pulse that would literally *Neutralise* or Minimize the effects of Electromagnetic Pulse
Another case of 'plausible deniability?'
Ross is a legend
Excellent again, Ross . Thanks News Nation.
What a crappy world it is.
