Doesn't it vindicate the we need to weaponize space?

  Not really, because space weapons inevitably lead to at the very least space weapons testing, and most likely space combat. Space combat creates space junk, which prevents us from going to space in the future, which prevents us from detecting and deflecting asteroids. You might think "well, we just need to find ways to destroy space junk" but unfortunately (almost?) all tools useful for destroying space junk can also be used to destroy perfectly functional objects in space, and therefore count as space weapons, which lead to space junk...
