Which countries did not support the initiative of Russia to completely abandon the placement of weapons in space

60
The Russian Federation, in collaboration with 26 countries, prepared a draft resolution on the inadmissibility of placing in outer space any weapons. The project is considered at the UN General Assembly. However, already at the stage of preliminary consideration of the draft anti-militarist initiative of the Russian Federation, such an initiative was identified as a clear opponent. This is the United States of America. How unexpected...

Which countries did not support the initiative of Russia to completely abandon the placement of weapons in space


The American delegation voted against the adoption of the draft resolution in the so-called First Committee of the UN General Assembly, declaring that "the states do not yet have an understanding of what should be called a weapon in outer space." Apparently, there is no “understanding” exclusively on the American side, since the draft resolution clearly states that we are talking about any type of weapons based in space.

The delegation of the United States states that in subsequent reviews the resolution will abandon its support. The argument is already the next (quote RIA News):
The initiative involves only weapons that are based in space, and does not speak of ground-based anti-satellite weapons, which can aggravate, rather than reduce, distrust and possible miscalculations.


At the end of the material, it is worthwhile to submit a list of those states that, even on an anti-militarist initiative, are not capable of expressing their opinions and are forced to vote as the Washington hosts tell them. This is about Ukraine and Georgia, who spoke out against the draft resolution. It is noteworthy that voted against and Israel. Seven delegations abstained.

122 states have supported the initiative of the Russian Federation. Is it time for the Russian Foreign Ministry to make a statement that the United States and several other states are isolated from the rest of the world community ...

      It is useless to contain these processes. I think that both Russia and the USA have decided everything for themselves for a long time (about the placement of weapons in space). The only question is the degree of readiness of each of the parties and an attempt to gain time.

      It's like a nuclear weapon - the world will never give it up until it comes up with something else. Something more practical or destructive.

      So is the satellite weapon. It will be - this is progress. And he cannot be stopped.

          And now there is at least one Russian satellite that "visits in the morning", sometimes approaching some US spacecraft ... It seems to me that these "walks" of our satellite gently warn the Americans about the capabilities of our aerospace forces ...

                Sure! The program involved hundreds of enterprises, and this is equipment, technology and much more. It’s not easy to restore all this, and it’s unlikely that it will work out - much has been destroyed or even remained abroad. The past decades have also not been in vain, science has stepped forward, a lot of new things have appeared, so we need to make a new medium, just do it, not chatter!

    Who would doubt it. Of course, great 3,14 Dosia with her mongrels will be against any peace initiative - otherwise how can one remain a world hegemon? Only missiles in geostationary orbit and other measures of general democratization.
    Yes, on the other hand - a bolt on them. Mattresses even those contracts that are signed do not comply. And so it will be at least something to rely on.
    "The Biological Weapons Convention (BW) is another potential tool for preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The BW Convention, ratified by the United States in 1975, prohibits member states from developing, acquiring or storing biological or toxic substances if they do not required for self-defense or for some peaceful purpose, and the US biological defense program appears to be in excess of the Convention's level. As part of its biological defense program, the US secretly designed a model bio-bomb and produced an anthrax virus suitable for military purposes It can be argued that although the declared objectives are defense, these actions violate the BW Convention, since the Convention prohibits the production of weapons These and other biological defense measures were carried out in secret, and, therefore, the US partners under this treaty could not assess them for match the latter.

    If all countries accept this rule as law, but the USA, Ukraine and Georgia do not accept, then what will we do? Okay, Ukraine and Georgia, the first one collapsed its path into space, the second one didn’t have it. But what if the United States launches some sort of armed device? What actions will be on our part?
    Another question is what is armed. Current technology allows you to bring anything you want, from cannons against satellites to warheads with thermonuclear filling. I am generally silent about lasers, as if the ideal option.
    And the chances that the US will voluntarily limit its deployment of armaments are nil.

This raises the question: they stopped cooperating with Yuzhmash (and the plant has already been ditched, with us will not give a ride, their developments are only in the distant future, they again want to milk the loot on the F-35 from the Congress, and fly into space on a trampoline?

    As strange as it may seem, but this initiative, in my opinion, is aimed at a fair demonization of the policy of the State Department. Rather, on its documentary confirmation "in front of everyone," in the highest world institution, the UN.
    Unwillingness to join peace initiatives, incapacity to negotiate, babbling in "excuses", gross interference in the affairs of sovereign states ... all this should "accumulate and take shape", discussed and condemned.
    About the same thing now with Syria. Russia has proposed joining a just cause. What is the answer? Snot, nagging, thimbles, fakes, cynical slander, etc.
    “We need to call a spade a spade,” it seems our guarantor said not so long ago.

      Inability to negotiate is from the same song as "peace initiatives", see above. Why, we also indulge in the right of veto, in their opinion, too often!
      There is no point in talking about gross interventions in the affairs of sovereign states! Well, we are occupying half of Ukraine for the second year!

    And why should the state-leader in the space sector refuse to develop weapons for this environment? They did the right thing, they understand that VPK is driving progress very much. And we do not need to give up weapons in space. I would also understand if all sorts of undeveloped countries would ache, but we, why? What do we want to completely abandon the space industry?

    [quote] [The American delegation voted against the adoption of the draft resolution in the so-called First Committee of the UN General Assembly, declaring that "states do not yet have an understanding of what should be called weapons in outer space." Apparently, the “American side” does not have “understanding”, as the draft resolution clearly indicates that we are talking about any types of weapons based in space. / Quote] ...- in the end, if it comes to weapons in space it will be worse for them .. then the first will complain that it is necessary to sign some kind of agreement on some kind of restriction ... because while they think, we are doing ... that's the whole story ..

    Article (more precisely, note) - MINUS. Note NOTHING. What kind of resolution, what types of weapons, when passed - nothing. And to conclude from nothing is stupid.

    In the museum? Yes. In reality, no, for a very long time

    Spit. Correctly said - minus - do not think

    As it comes to business, they immediately become dull. Can the General Assembly and Russia put the question to a vote on the exclusion of the dull from the voting list. Maybe concepts will appear right away?


    And the question, by the way, is posed by the Americans correctly.

    • What are weapons in space?
    • Anti-satellite system - weapons or not?
    • And relatively speaking, the explosive charge to eliminate, if necessary, a satellite - is it a weapon or not?
    • Why will a satellite interceptor in orbit be considered a weapon, and there isn’t exactly the same on the launch pad in hourly readiness?
    • Laser in orbit - weapon or not?
    • Are a cannon or space-to-space rockets a weapon?
    • Is a ground-based anti-satellite interceptor missile a weapon?

    We must really first decide what to consider weapons and what not, and then negotiate. Judging by the quantity, all African countries, Asian countries and the majority of those who never launched themselves voted for our proposal.
