The purpose isn't to attack cities or military bases but target our satellites. There's not an option for the US to not respond. No one else has done this and it would make their first-strike capabilities utterly devastating. There is no mutually assured destruction if that happens.

Apparently Congress has recently been briefed by the IC in SCIFs about it, but naturally they're limited in what they can reveal in statements afterward. There seems to be credible Intelligence that he's either planning or in the process of doing it. And yes, it would violate international treaties in no uncertain terms, which I doubt he cares about at this point.
It's interesting because of the options it leaves everyone else. There's wait-and-see, and then it's too late by the time he's done it, or we race him to it and break these treaties ourselves, or we confront it now and ramp up to WWIII.
