Chinese Satellite Destroyed After Big Hit on US Base in Jordan

It is speculated this might be the U.S. upping the ante again.  The empire does not know when to quit. 

They're not going to win this.  Yaogan-50  breaks up into 43 fragments.  Who has the most in orbit? That is who has the most to lose.

Satellites are out of the atmosphere and are in 0 G environment. What exactly can pull one apart? There is nothing up there to do it by itself.

There has to be more to this story.
