Nop. It is to counter current US efforts to establish dominance in military space force

I mean, even if that is the case, so what?

Are other countries not allowed to have militaries anymore?

Space should not be militarized, in my opinion, but if the US is going to do it, then we don't get to finger wag at other countries for doing the same thing.
