They're not going to target one link. They're going to target the whole kill chain. Satellites, sure, and the satellite ground stations, and the missile launch sites, and the update path from the satellite ground stations to the missile launch sites, and jamming radio reception for the missiles in flight, and optical chaff or some other kind of confusion, and radar chaff, and probably some I haven't thought of.

So, their plan in the event of war is to make space inaccessible for all of humanity, by filling it with debris from killed satellites?

Yes that is exactly the plan. In any major conflict the satellites will be the first casualties.

Yes. And a potential Kessler syndrome is the least of our worries when the nuclear missiles starts to fly.
War is hell. A peer level shooting war would suck hard in many painfull different ways to almost everyone. Let’s try to avoid it.
