"Our task, my friends, is to adapt right now, so the joint force is prepared to fight, endure and win in global contested environments, from the seabed to cislunar space," Caine said on Wednesday. The push for military readiness follows a recent post by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social. Earlier this month, Trump posted an image of the Moon against the backdrop of Earth with the caption "The Moon is ours." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not support the idea of privatization in space, adding that it should remain an area for multilateral cooperation and not confrontation.
