Brandon Weichert, Editor of the Weichert Report, has been warning for years that the U.S. military is vulnerable in a key area: space. Weichert spoke with Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, about the possibility of Russia and China attacking U.S. space assets, and the problems this would pose to American communications and commercial infrastructure. He also gave his outlook on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
