A big problem with destroying enemy satellites is in the way it would be carried out. Would it be fried? Would it be jammed? Would it be bombed? If the later is the case, alot of space debris would be the result... I heard the US is offering protection to the UK and it's allys... I guess that in the next 30-50 years we will have four or five superpowers, the US, the EU, China, Russia and possibly India.

The big problem satellites is that most of them are commercial. During the last war even the US bought commercial time on them... Which means commercial interests will most likely be fried or shot...

I don't condone the idea, but I do understand the motive for gaining space superiority.
