Much of the purpose of the 'Space Force' is to put weapons like missile and anti-missile platforms in orbit to support the standard military, meaning little will change about how the the US 'interacts' with the rest of the world. In fact I'd say the primary driver to create the 'Space Force' is to find a way to defend US satellites - more than 10 countries now have effective ASAT weapons meaning that in the next war (that the US inevitably starts), it's entirely possible their navigation, guidance and communications systems would be wholesale inoperable out of the gate.

the MIC doesn't have to be the bad guys. they can just work on defence and space expansion. the DoD doesn't have to be the weaklings who let the MIC walk all over them. they can still be the Heroes and push the boundaries as a space force.
They're symbiotic. There's a revolving door between the Pentagon and the major defence contractors which has created a system where individuals are personally rewarded for funneling obscene amounts of tax money to private companies. The system is corrupt by design and you cannot separate the two.

Also, as you being an Aussie and voicing out many times against the USA.. your country should also throw it's share into this as an allied paid movement.
no, 'my country' needs to actually act like a sovereign country and not a colony with stockholm syndrome.
