    The press baselessly claims that the bugs somehow ‘launched’ meteors at the Earth, when the meteors could have easily just been natural disasters. On the other hand, we know for a fact that Earth has assaulted another planet.

    Been a while since I watched the film but I recall one of the propaganda sequences talking up Earth's ring of fortifications around the moon. The clip even shows a shot from the space station blowing up a space rock.

    The Arachnids are never shown with any FTL and their territory is shown as being clear across the galaxy from Earth. The clear implication is that Beunos Ares was an inside job.

      Kind wild how only 4 years later the entire plot of Starship Troopers became reality.
