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.

    You’re totally right - SDI wasn’t nukes in space. Just pointing out the similarities in concept and reaction:

    • Threaten to put advanced military tech and/or weapons of some sort in space.
    • Reveal very little about what is actually being currently done and what is just plans/theory.
    • (to be seen) Use it as a negotiation tool for favorable arms-reduction or other treaties.
