Russia has vetoed a U.N. resolution sponsored by the United States and Japan calling on all nations to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space, calling it “a dirty spectacle” that cherry picks weapons of mass destruction from all other weapons that should also be banned.
Why do right wingers want nuclear arms races so badly?
Because then they can use the fear to get reelected or pass the laws that they want
Some of them are Christo-fascist and they just wanna get raptured.
Some of them are nationalist and they think their country is so awesome, it can tank a few nukes.
And some of their number are so mind fucked by machismo and toxic masculinity, that they just want to wave the big stick.
They want to LARP Fallout.
