    I am still not convinced because you are missing the political implications: Blocking LEO for your opponent means blocking it for everyone, friend or foe alike.

    Unless we are talking about an all out two sided world war with no neutral parties blocking space is out of the question. It’s the same reason we don’t see nations using nuclear weapons: Their use would cause world wide condemnation and at best sanctions against you, at worst more enemy combatants.
