Countries like Russia could make an argument for attacking these satellites.

Russia's best shot would be accidentally crashing a lunar lander into one.

They'd probably fail at that too

They just need to try and land on one, that's the trick.

Like when the US crashed a lander into Mars. Good times.

Uhh, yeah in 1999. Proving yet again that Russia is stuck 20+ years behind us technologically.

Yeah if your daddy keeps kicking over neighbor's fences I'd certainly hope my daddy could beat him up. Cope.
