[@l.lokman3137]

Bravo, Russia, to counter the US space weapons. The US said Russia would violate the treaties. What treaties? The US and NATO never honored their treaties and now accused Russia of doing. What a group of hypocrites.

[@partoems9376]

Russia just pulled out of that treaty. Just like the US pulled out of the ICBM treaty some years back.

[@chrishouseman4781]

Maybe we should quit messing with Russia

You may have a point

Very well said orcbot, quit messing with ruZZia kremlinid.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Gorsky69]

It's funny to hear this from the USA. The US and its allies rejected in the UN Security Council a draft resolution on the prevention of an arms race in outer space, which was introduced by Russia. During the vote, the document was supported by 7 of the 15 members of the Security Council, including China, but representatives of Britain, the US, France, Japan and several other countries rejected the document. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, recalled that earlier the US and its allies "assured everyone of their commitment to peaceful outer space," but now "they have finally thrown off their masks." China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, also noted that China is very disappointed that the Security Council did not adopt the draft resolution. The resolution provided for a ban on the deployment of not only weapons of mass destruction in space (as previously proposed by the US and Japan), but also any weapons in general.

Only a top tier predator can take on another top tier predator. Having balance is good for the world.

[@vincevincent6984]

Putin is lunatic . He has the mind of a serial killer not a man of power. Nobody respects him unless you’re insane!

[@ikhmalmal7930]

The only adv u.s have only its alllies..if 1 v 1 with rusia ..U.S wont dare..they only brave to goat herder

[@tylerjanssen2897]

russia..top tier predator? FKIN LUL

[@ohgeazy]

@@tylerjanssen2897they’re literally embarrassing the US using soviet era weapons, convicts and shovels

[@hamish1309]

​@@tylerjanssen2897they're getting there, the US is inadvertently training them.

[@user-hv8zi5ec8j]

Russia has right to defend itself. Why not just banning all military technologies in space to solve the problem?

[@heartpaid6767]

But its attacking

[@heartpaid6767]

@1YUGE_RichardBulge that's realism in orcish, I know.

[@Judgment_Day]

Russia is and loves terrorism and Communism.

Don’t worry be happy.

[@tommyyang7135]

Yes Russian go...

[@tagruns9072]

Maybe we should actually have conversations with them and attempt to get long, you know peace.

[@jmdatrain4245]

Now that sounds like a plan...a sensible one for a change from the West

[@awalk5177]

Russia will no longer have conversations with Washington after all the failed peace treaties and enabling Nato to weaponize against Russia. They are no longer listening, like a guy whose wife cheated on him 5 times, the time for talking is over.

[@GokhanYlmaz-eg7jf]

a very frivolous idea, if peace comes, how can we then sell weapons to Europe?

[@remixsparten98]

Yeah, we should stop with war and call it the 3rd minsk agreement. Then demilitarize and unalign all of Ukraine permanently and call it a Budapest Memorandum. All nations would become self governed and independant under accords of some kind. We can call it the helenski accords. Im sure Russia would agree to such peacful terms. 🤡

[@user-yr8fx9vb2v]

tHERE IS NO SUCH TREATY

[@EIndependent_Life]

What continuity plan has the US if another nation take down their toys in space?

[@mayoortechinnovations]

Lol treaty is for peace times

[@turiselmani7706]

Nice

[@gosh1975]

The US already has weapons in space 1. God's Weapon system 2. EMP weapon system 3. DEW system So Why not Russia.....? US fears his weapons in space can be neutralised by Russia 😂😂😂

[@everythingonline7983]

russia has right to defend itself

[@zclassical]

This is total bulls**t properganda.

[@ulyseslabajo]

So America can put anything they like in orbit... But others can't.😅

Good boy bot, good boy!😂

[@jamesjordan2609]

You think russia is a poor country

[@awalk5177]

USA has been relying on Russia to get its astronauts into space station for the past 10 years. Why do you think they were always launching from inside Russia ? They have relied on Russia for a ride since the space shuttle program ended and USA still do not have a replacement.

[@rabrandconnections333]

They know the US is providing information to Ukraine.

[@josephsumog-oy8503]

American paranoia😂

[@svetasveta2630]
