Saudi Arabia graciously accepts the United States' offer of assistance in this venture. Truly, ISIS has much to fear in the near future.

Saudi Arabia contends that the Outer Space Treaty only bans nuclear, biological and chemical weapons from use in space. As this weapon uses rods of metal it is not banned. (first section, final paragraph).
Should NATO wish to oversee the construction of the Saudi Arabian kinetic bombardment satellite, they are free to do so.
If any other nations or organizations has any questions or concerns, please bring them up. We hope to be transparent as possible about the construction and deployment of this weapon.

The People's Republic of China agrees with Hungary's concerns, and we would be willing to offer further aid to Saudi Arabia in combating the savages that they face.

[M] I saw that, and I'm no less perplexed.
