Evidence: Alphabetical
- Adversaries will respond to U.S. space dominance by attacking our early warning and communication satellites
- Adversaries will pursue weapons of mass destruction to counter U.S. dominance in outer space
- Any international backlash against space weapons will be short-lived
- Anti-satellite threat is more hypothetical than real
- Advanced ASAT Technologies are Outside Capabilities of Rogue States
- Adversaries more likely to attack U.S. resources assymetrically rather than with space weapons
- Anti-satellite conflict is not inherently escalatory
- Anti-satellite weapons have offensive advantage because of their ability to specialize their attack method
- Anti-satellite space weapons are inherently escalatory
- Adversaries could respond assymetrically in a way that would nullify any strategic advantage
- Arms control agreements cannot keep pace with advances in space technology
- As many as 30 states have laser blinding anti-satellite technology
- A 1994 U.S. Navy war game showed that China could devastate U.S. by attacking U.S. space assets
- Anti-satellite weapons more efficient than ground-based strikes
- Accidental War is one of the Greatest Risks Posed by Space Weapons
- Attacks on U.S. space assets unlikely to determine outcome of conflict
- Adversaries Could use Market Power to Disrupt U.S. Access to Space Services
- Attacks on space assets are inevitable -- U.S. needs to build redundancy into system
- An Attack on U.S. Space Assets would Collapse Global Economy and Cripple Military
- A Treaty to Ban Space Weapons would make U.S. ICBMs and Missile Defense Systems Illegal
- Adversaries are responding to U.S. conventional strength by shifting towards mobile or hardened targets
- Adversaries of U.S. will continue to keep targets mobile to thwart U.S. precision guided missiles
- Additional Nuclear Proliferation is most likely outcome of space weaponization
- Arguing for the inevitability of space weaponization is a self-fulfilling prophecy
- Arguing that Space has Already been Weaponized ignores Political Perception that New Efforts would Cross a Threshold
- Anti-satellite weapons could be developed that would not create space debris
- An agreement to ban ASAT weapons testing would be significant first step
- Airborne laser could be used as an ASAT though its unlikely to justify the cost
- ASAT test will raise suspicions about China's rise to power
- ASAT test is part of a trend of Chinese military aggressiveness and will embolden hardliners in U.S.
- An Informal "Code of Conduct" agreement would help tame lawless outer space environment
- A Code of Conduct would address many of the issues raised by China's recent ASAT weapons test
- A Space-Based Missile Defense System is the Only one Capable of Providing Truly Global Coverage
- ASAT test represents China's increasing willingness to test U.S. military hegemony
- A Single Nuclear Missile could Devastate U.S. Physically, Economically, and Morally
- A Space-Based Missile Defense would Dissuade Adversaries from Using Ballistic Missiles
