Causing a Space Hazard Is the Latest Provocation by the Rogue Russian Regime

The Russian Federation under tyrant Vladimir Putin, a former Soviet intelligence agent, further reinforced its status as an international pariah by carelessly conducting an anti-satellite test that created a space junk hazard. The International Space Station was put at risk and its crew had to conduct a maneuver to avoid impact with the debris created by the Russian test. Putin is also behind the current policy of its Belorussian ally of sending refugees toward the Polish border, using people as political tools and he has massed Russian troops at the border of Ukraine, a former Soviet Republic that he has already invaded and seized territory from, in violation of a treaty recognizing Ukrainian independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. The rogue Russian regime invades neighbors; sends warplanes in a threatening manner toward the airspace of other States; kills exiles abroad, including with chemical weapons; violates arms control treaties; backs the terrorist-sponsoring Syrian regime of Bashar Assad; uses its energy supply as an instrument of intimidation; interferes in the elections of other States through propaganda, disinformation, stealing/releasing information, campaign funding and other means; spreads anti-vaccine falsehoods; hacks into the computers of governments, businesses and other organizations; and even cheats at the Olympics.
