<<Someone needs to tell the Russians: you are supposed to take out your own satellites>>

i am inclined to think the russians 'did it' and if they did, typically art-less, in character, as iridiums are fully functional satellites, starting out as private property and later turned in quasi-sovereign / pentagon machines

but if so, the situation would should could and better be a crisis for obama, and super duper top priority on desk trays

otoh, if the americans 'did it', it is also in keeping with typically art-less character, unnecessarily taunting putin when they can so very easily upset the apple cart just about everywhere

and if neither side 'did it' and indeed it was an accident, then we must believe such accidents can happen again and often, and if so, when so, each time a crisis can be

in all three cases, not good.
