Some random comments on the Kessler syndrome [1]
* a Kessler syndrome would not impact Medium Earth Orbit and Geosynchronous orbit satellites. So, no, we would not lose GPS navigation.
* LEO satellites would be impacted, but at least Starlink claims to have a very advanced system of collision avoidance without humans in the loop [2]
* a Kessler syndrome would certainly not prevent an exchange of nuclear ballistic missiles. So, Kessler cannot be used in a defensive mode
