Esper did NOT say satellites were armed with laser weapons.  He said that "space had been weaponized" by the development of killer satellites AND laser weapons.  The laser weapons are ground-based, pointing skyward, for the purpose of "poking out their eyes" by blinding optical sensors.  There is no possibility they could point at the locations of the forest fires...and no need.  Antifa goons with matches or cigarette lighters do just fine.  Wood has a typical flame temperature of 1980 K.  The melting point of aluminum is 933.5 K.  The melting point of steel (iron) is 1811 K.  Explain to me why it would be so unexpected to find automobiles slagged down when surrounded by a forest fire.
