Isn’t this redundant? The UN Outer Space Treaty already prohibits all WMDs in space, and all major countries have signed on.
States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner;
yes but political pandering
I think it might also be aimed at Russia because of the recent talks about space shenanigans
Seeing as China and Russia have UN Security Council vetos I don’t see how this would pass.
The UN is something everyone just ignores as we’ve learned over the last five months. Especially America.
UN is useless for countries like Russia, china and US and it’s allies
I might sound like an idiot but what is the thing in the center of the photo used in this article? At first I thought it was someone in a black robe and black veil making their case to the council which upon closer inspection can’t be true, then looking closer it looks like a filled trash bag in the middle of the council which makes even less sense.
What am I looking at here?
Probably is a camera.
Ah now I see it, thank you!

Anyone who can get a nuke in space already has nukes in space.
Evidence?
Yes.
Where?
History.
Ah. So you don’t have a source.
Cool.
You’re really expecting a source for this type of thing as if a leak wouldn’t have the unavoidable side effect of escalating things beyond anyone’s control.
The evidence are the decisions made by every major power across the last century. The various leaks already made public show that the those able to do it are also willing to do it.
You see all the bad things done so far and yet think to yourself, of course they wouldn’t do this? Really.
No. I’m just highlighting how you spout bullshit with no source to back it up and think it’s true.
But that would mean there’s quite a few nukes up there already
Maybe.
Explain to me again how are we going to shoot down the alien space ships then? With what? Freaking rail cannons?
The only result of such a resolution would be that China, India and Russia would be the only countries with nukes in space.
