No science fiction: US to set up military base on moon

Republican US Congressman Ken Calvert has hinted at the preparation of space war and said that the US military will set up bases on the moon to deal with Russia and China.

Ken Calvert, the chairman of the US House of Representatives’ defense subcommittee, said he fears China will station its military on the surface of the moon, while Russia will place multi-ton bombs in Earth’s orbit.

He further said that it would be a direct threat that if any action was taken against Russia, Moscow would detonate a bomb whose radiation effects would destroy everything in this part of the Earth’s low orbit.

The Congress member added that the US space force will also be activated as discussions are ongoing in this regard. At some point, the space force will be deployed on the moon.

Ken Calvert said that it is possible that the US will establish a military base on the moon by the end of this decade.

According to the American newspaper, in 2021, Russia and China announced that they intend to establish the International Lunar Research Station.
