Surely the wise course of action would be to deny the existence of all secret

US satellites plus a smattering of somebody elses's satellites, too.

If the USA knew about a secret satellite of a hostile country, it would be a

poor decision to let them know, that you know. It would be equally unlikey to

expect the other country to then respond in kind and let the USA know, that

they know, that the USA knows, that they themselves know, about the secret

stealth satellite.

Sir Humphrey: Yes, they probably know that you probably wouldn't. But they

can't certainly know.

Jim Hacker: They probably certainly know that I probably wouldn't.

Sir Humphrey: Yes, but even though they probably certainly know that you

probably wouldn't, they don't certainly know that, although you probably

wouldn't, there is no probability that you certainly would.
