I can see this being a big thing for China or N. Korea who already don't communicate much outside their country and are more protectionist and have parts of the country that are 3rd world. I mean, what do they have to lose? Not a whole lot, they already censor tons, and I'm sure they'd have redundancies in place on earth to replace tech they'd lose in a space war. While whoever they attack, will not be as prepared for those losses.

If a country could control space -- as in destroy all satellites that they don't sanction, or require 'taxes' for satellites, could be hugely profitable endeavor as well for the country. Space itself is a resource.

Not sure how this can be worse than straight up bombing cities as we do today.
