#1 Shocking?

No, prudent to plan ahead. If the video signals from a weather satellite can be intercepted by the potential enemy and that satellite's orbit covers areas that we have an interest in keeping unobserved, then removing that satellite or its ability to communicate sensitive information is a valid military necessity.

The targeting of neutral launch facilities is somewhat more problematic depending on the activities at the neutral site and the likelihood that they would promptly replace a disabled satellite.

#2 Seize the high ground and blind the enemy to what you are doing. Tried and true military goals that haven't changed since we were throwing rocks at each other. We just use really expensive rocks now days. Hey Kim, catch!
