Not agreeing with any of this.
- "Launch their satellites for them, at 400km."
No reasonable person would help their adversary build powerful weapons that could immediately be used against them. The point of satellite constellations—Chinese or American, either—is to create undeniable, high-bandwidth communications for armies; to create real-time (as opposed to sporadic) satellite imagery for armies; to create, in short, an overwhelming situational awareness advantage in a conventional war.
- "Give them cash or territory."
We are not giving away countries.
