Space Weapons are Destabilizing (1164)

Space weapons are inherently destabilizing weapons for several reasons. First, space weapons put at risk military space assets that can help reduce the risk of conflict, such as communications and early warning satellites. Additionally, all space assets (including space weapons) are difficult to defend against attack which creates a "use-it-or-lose-it" dilemma during a crisis. Finally, space weapons can escalate conflicts by threatening strategic space assets.
