Morning Brew Daily · Canada Wants to Link Up with the EU & America Reveals its Space Weapon · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

I'm just I'm trying to wrap my head around that one. voice-verified

Uh, one of the reasons why Mink acknowledged that we have these weapons up there is deterrence. voice-verified

That was kind of the big idea here is that hey, if we say that we have something up there, maybe nations would be less inclined to attack us or something like that. voice-verified

But a lot of critics said that the announcement was too vague to actually create any meaningful deterrence. voice-verified

They pointed towards nuclear deterrence, mute the this concept of mutually asserted destruction. voice-verified

That works because everyone involved understands roughly what a nuclear weapon can do and when they might be used. voice-verified

If you just kind of hand waved the fact that you have a space weapon, it's not really gonna deter anyone because they don't know if it's a laser dazzler or if it's a kinetic weapon or if it's a lightsaber. voice-verified

This concept does not exist up in space. voice-verified

So voice-verified

So maybe what you actually just did is create a space arms race because now China and Russia feel emboldened to publicly acknowledge that they have their own orbital weapons without actually disclosing what they do either. voice-verified

So that was some of the pushback to this idea that this was purely a deterrence play and it's actually a good idea for the safety of the United States. voice-verified

All right, we're gonna take a quick break and come back with a story about a big IPO right after this. voice-verified
