Trump's decision to move the Space Command to Alabama from Colorado may be political theater that will cost millions of dollars. It will leave us less prepared for an attack for years.

U.S. Space Command is the central nervous system of our government's nuclear infrastructure.

This is why President Biden chose to headquarter U.S. Space Command in Colorado in 2023. Because all the pertinent Space Force facilities were already there: Peterson, Schriever, Cheyenne Mountain, and Buckley military bases, the whole of U.S. Space Command.

It wasn't about politics. It was about military readiness. It didn't make sense to put Space Force headquarters in any state other than Colorado when the only priority should be quick and effective communication in a nuclear crisis and there was already an infrastructure.

Now, U.S. Space Command will not be fully operational for years because the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama lacks the existing infrastructure already available in Colorado.

But Alabama is a GOP-dominant state and there are massive contracts involved.

So, Trump is catering to his base over national security. Yet again.

To put it more bluntly: Trump is dangerously gambling our nuclear readiness in service to his greed and political pettiness.
