Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the council before the vote that the resolution was “absurd and politicized.”
What the hell is absurd about limiting nuclear proliferation, Vassily?
Abandon all reason and logic, ye who enter the russian / MAGA rhetoric.
This place is not a place of honor.
“It’s absurd that you won’t let us have the political win with our populace by looking like a strong country by putting nukes in space” is what he meant.
Anything you’d get him to answer would be as good as “it’s because the Russian economy is booming!”
“Nu-clear weapon is very important part of foreign policy”
Why does Russia have veto power? They weren’t a founding member.
…why is the article picture of the AMERICAN ambassador?
Extra weird as she happens to be black, unlike 99.92% of the population of “not at all racist” Russia lol
Isn’t the Outer Space Treaty ALREADY covering this exact thing? Come on, people.
In the article it’s explained that Russia, China and few other countries voted no because they would want a ban on all of the weapons in space, not only nuclear, which US is against. Which makes the title a little unfair I think.
Terrible, nukes should’ve never been a thing
Maybe, maybe not. Their existence and the mutually assured destruction that comes with it might be the primary factor responsible for preventing WW3 during the Cold War. The “balance of terror” is still working to this day.
