Senator Tuberville Predicts ‘The Next War’ Will Be ‘Started and Probably Ended From Space’ 

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) predicted that “the next war” the U.S. is involved in will both start and end from space.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that he is moving the headquarters of the U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama.

“I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City, ok?” Trump said at a news conference at the White House. “So Huntsville, Alabama, we love Alabama!”

Tuberville appeared on The Will Cain Show on Fox News, where Will Cain asked, “What will that mean for Alabama?”

“Not just Alabama, Will,” the senator replied. “For the country.”

Tuberville went on to claim that space will be central to the next war:

Space Command, what that is, is, it’ll be the headquarters for the military for anything that goes into space, whether it’s Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, anything. It’s not just one part of the military. Controls everything going into space.

The next war, God forbid we have one, will be started and probably ended from space. We’ve gotta catch up. We’ve spent 20 years of spending money over in the Middle East. We have to be prepared for what we are doing.

Thank goodness for Elon Musk and the people that built these public satellites. They kept us up to this point, but we need space command. Huntsville will do a great job. It will be very secure behind the wall at Redstone Arsenal. We will save half a billion dollars by moving from Colorado Springs to Huntsville. It’s also a great place to live. There’ll be a lot of jobs obviously, and the economy will be boosted. But at the end of the day it’s all about national security. It’s going to be a big part of the future for this country, militarily.
