Treaty, schmeaty. All things get dropped in case of war.
He who owns the high ground has a huge advantage.
Does orbit qualify as high ground? You'd think a defining property
of high ground is that things want to move down from there. That
is, if I loosen a rock, it will roll down. If I loosen a rock in
orbit, it will stay in orbit with me.
