Is it known if anti-satellite weapons would cause Kessler Syndrome? I do wonder about the chances of losing access to the moon forever because of Taiwan or whatever, should even a regional conflict lead to navigation, communication, surveillance satellites being targeted.

The decline and fall of the Soviet Union is a story of the decline of fall of the CPSU.

Putin has managed to sanction proof Russia despite all the liberalism, although 30 years of development in countries outside of the west, particularly in China, has undoubtedly helped.

The book Collapse about the fall of the soviet union is really interesting, explicitly stating that the dissolution was everything but inevitable or even supported by the majority of people while also being strictly anti-communist. So you get passages about the total failure of Gorbachev and Yeltsin's treason with the west fanning the flames while also periodically reminding the reader that even so, communism is totally evil guys.

I sprung for the Falklands module for CMO and it's a bit staggering to see how Mickey Mouse the Royal Navy was by 1982.
