I’m sure these are not related at all

Putin said this;

And speaking to Russian journalists, he said his country could deploy hypersonic missiles on ships and submarines which could lurk outside US territorial waters.

He said: "(We're talking about) naval delivery vehicles: submarines or surface ships.

"And we can put them, given the speed and range (of our missiles)... in neutral waters. Plus they are not stationary, they move and they will have to find them."

And he continued: "You work it out. Mach nine (the speed of the missiles) and over 1,000 km (their range)."

Trump did this;

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump directed the Department of Defense to draft legislation to establish the Space Force as a new branch of the military under the secretary of the Air Force.  

Then Putin said this;

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States wanted one and threatened to place hypersonic nuclear missiles on ships or submarines near U.S. territorial waters.

 

then this;

Russia and China are aware of our near-complete reliance on space systems, and they have positioned themselves to move against them. It’s been over 11 years since China proved it is capable of destroying satellites in space using ground-based missiles, and in the years since, Russian satellites co-orbiting in close proximity with ours have been equally 

In 2018, an independent report emerged from a bipartisan congressional directive that recommended the U.S. establish an independent Space Force through a two-phased approach that would re-establish our dominance in the space domain.    

 

I’m sure none of these things could possibly be related.
