No idea; it's a wild guess anyhow; everyone with both nuclear weapons and space launch systems has been capable of this for decades (yet never has, apparently).

Why wouldn’t they just use a conventional missile? Lmao
Very high altitude nuclear weapons are incredibly damaging to both satellites and electronic systems on the ground in a potentially very large area. See the Starfish Prime test, and its impact on what were at the time rare satellites in orbit (it disabled six of them entirely - a significant portion of what was in orbit at the time); I quote the article:
Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights
If it's confirmed, it might be less about directly targeting satellites and rather about exploiting such an effect like that.
Seems very unconfirmed but ABCNews says it's nukes in space; specifically to disable satellites or cause large-areas EMPs, not hit the ground.
A recent feature in Discover explored the pros and cons of existing solely on animal products
Those self centered pieces of shit mean "the pros and cons for the carnist bastard", of course, with no regards for the animals or the environment.
It's like when you tell people you're vegan and they immediately assume you're doing it for your health. Or when you wear a mask and they immediately assume it's before all to protect yourself (and they say shit like "stop living in fear"). Really telling on themselves that it's their immediate assumption.
You really should disable that thing, you know.
Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news
And much of the US "journalists" are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government's positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:
The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration's National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe
Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they're not exactly a source to be trusted.
They've been projecting their little movie privately worldwide. They showed it - again behind closed doors - to the french congress a few months back.
I can access that one too; and yeah - I've actually encountered the same error page we both get on the other one, on other tweets previously; the whole platform is fucked up.
He's still moving, there is hope for his semen to be retrieved yet
I'm seeing the same. I'm guessing you don't have, or are not actively using in that browser profile, a twitter account. Since the man-child took over twitter, they went back and forth allowing people to even see tweets without an account. They ended up a few months back still requiring it to access an account (as in see all their tweets), or see answers to tweets, but not to see directly linked tweets themselves (since, you know, half the online newspapers in the world link to tweets so that was disastrous).
Apparently the image itself retweeted by the original tweet was deleted (based on the other screenshot above); so what's happening here I'm guessing is a side effect of both that and the thing I described above where, as a result, the non-deleted tweet is unreadable without an account because of that related deletion. It might not even be an intended side effect, given how twitter is going.
Anyway, you can see the full tweet, including the deleted image, over at nitter (original CW about corpses applies obviously).
Also, to people still having twitter accounts: if it doesn't die first, this entire shit show will get breached eventually. Make sure your password there isn't the same as elsewhere (which you should do everywhere anyway), and that any DM you have there does not contain private information.
