Arrr! Russia be sayin' nay to keepin' nukes out o' space, makin' UN walk the plank!
2024-04-25
Arrr mateys, on Wednesday, Russia scuppered a UN Security Council resolution put forth by the United States and Japan, aye, affirming the duty of nations to keep their nukes off the high seas of space. This ban would prevent member states from crafting orbit-ready nuclear weapons. The Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, be a code of conduct for cosmic voyages, settin' forth new rules for states traversin' the celestial seas.
Avast ye landlubbers! On Wednesday, those scurvy dogs from Russia went and vetoed a resolution put forth by the United States and Japan at the UN Security Council. This resolution aimed to remind all the countries who signed the Outer Space Treaty back in 1967 about their duty to keep nuclear weapons out of orbit around our fair Earth.The resolution would have made it clear as the nose on a pirate's face that member states can't be messing about with nuclear weapons designed specifically to be put up there in space. This be a serious matter, mateys, as the Outer Space Treaty laid down the law to govern the activities of states in outer space.
So, it looks like we won't be seeing any nuclear weapons orbiting around up there any time soon, thanks to that veto from Russia. But who knows what those scallywags might be planning next? Keep an eye on the horizon, me hearties, and make sure to always be ready for whatever shenanigans the nations of the world might be up to in the great beyond!
