Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space 1/6

'Star Wars is no longer science fiction'. The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction. The dream of the original Dr. Strangelove, Wernher von Braun (from Nazi rocket-scientist to NASA director) has survived every US administration since WW2 and is coming to life. Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage.

PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat?

With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.

Man i feel sorry for these American kids who are starved from global history. If only for example, people were informed of recent and wider Chinese history, one would understand development of Chinese military is to provide assurance to their contemporary citizens that the atrocities committed by colonial foreign powers in the past will never repeat. To be honest, all people want is to live in peace. Americans should be informed of their foreign political history and the effects of their culture

@yellowecotec Makes sense that there would be a global government as technology improves for transportation and communication. The issue is what kind of government will we create. And this will leave fewer options for those who seek something different in a government, and places to go. Although before that, it will be consolidations of governments for improvements of societies. I am hopeful that in the mean time and during the process of consolidations.. that societies evolve and become better.

America wants to have peace... as long as its done the way we want it.

Logic? We need more of it.

@Riddlerx333x Completely agreed. Totally Pro-War/Pro-Corporatism. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.  I'm afraid we are well on our way to this shit.

@overcastingasshole Why then is the Chinese military bullying its neighbors and pushing them into an alliance with America? Even Vietnam, who has every right to hate us, would rather side with America than China.

[Riddlerx333x]

So much corporate American mainstream media propaganda in this documentary its really hard to watch. O NO THE CHINESE BOOGIE MAN ITS OUT TO GET YOU! BE AFRAID! World peace like? LOL what a bunch of brainwashed goons

[Riddlerx333x]

@overcastingasshole they're more like brainwashed

[azjol94]

America and peace dont really go together well from an objective point of view.

[zombiiination]

@overcastingasshole agree about what you're saying about america, but i do not think people really want an army or more accurately spend money on an army. Armies, especially growing armies with more equip. etc are not there for peaceful missions after all. The chinese government is in any case perpetuating atrocities every day, the chinese' peoples' real enemy is their government, and any extension of it such as the army or the police. Power to the people cuz the people want peace!
