#1 According to RIA Novosti's paraphrase of the general's words, the U.S. may now be "capable of manipulating 'hostile satellites,' including their destruction, with a single command from a ground control center."

Actually, general, all they have to do is use their psychic powers to think about it happening and it happens.
Be afraid, commie...

#3 Sigh... General, why would the US military be plotting nefarious orbital derring-do with an operational Iridium sat in vital use by our own ground forces, and an ABANDONED COMMIE HULK? Wouldn't we want to, oh, I don't know, REVERSE THE PARTICIPANTS?

Classically, irrationally paranoid Russian bullshit.

#5 Y'know, apropos nothing, the Russians revere Lenin's tomb, but to us it's just another communist plot.

#6 I'm sure Obama could clear this all up with a private note to his pal Putin.
