> you can't prove that it's jointly operated by america and russia. astronauts from numerous other countries have been there. there is no reason they would all be conspiring to stay silent about the iss secretly being a weapon platform. furthermore, there is zero utility in putting weapons on the iss anyway, when it would be easier to simply have the weapons on their own independent satellites.     > just aim it so the main axis of the truss is pointed into the atmosphere, it will reduce the drag a lot. it doesn't even have to stay fully intact. this has been explained to you numerous times; atmospheric forces will tear the iss apart and burn it up. some small fragments may survive burnup, but they will rapidly slow in the atmosphere and hit the ground at terminal velocity; no faster than if they had been dropped from an airplane. hypothetically you might have some oxygen canister bonk an old lady on the head but that's as much damage as it could possibly cause to anything on the ground. this has been explained to you numerous times. you ignore it and will make these inane claims again because you prefer to believe in exciting fiction than boring reality.
