Re: Orbital Lasers
Assuming the space laser works as the OP described, the Earth's best chance is to overaaturate the laser's defenses with massive nuclear assault. Have the US and Russia launch all their remaining nukes at it at once, assuming ICBMs could pull off that altitude. Depending on genre, that can be handwaved. It is doubtful it could shoot down a couple thousand missiles at once, if it is decked out the way the OP describes.
Of course, if it has even ine point defence system, that would fail, too, and Earth is just doomed.
