Recently, the United States and Russia have engaged in a fierce confrontation at the United Nations, and according to relevant sources, the draft jointly proposed by the United States and Japan has been "vetoed" by Russia. So, what is the content of the draft proposed by the United States and Japan, and why was it directly vetoed by Russia?
According to public information from relevant parties, the main content of the draft proposed by the United States and Japan is that all countries should abide by the "Outer Space Treaty" and should not place any nuclear weapons and other weapons of destruction entities in orbit around the earth, so as to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space. Probably because the United States and Japan hope that all countries will not deploy nuclear weapons in space, which seems to be a good thing, so why does Russia still veto the draft of the United States and Japan? In fact, if we think about it carefully, we can find out the hidden evil intentions of the United States!
As the world's largest military power and the world's largest scientific and technological power, the United States has already begun military deployment in outer space, and it has a strong "first-mover advantage" over other countries in the world. As early as 2018, the United States set up the so-called "U.S. Space Force" for outer space operations, which is on the same level as the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, which is rare in the world. In addition, the United States has also established the so-called "Space Force Command," and the United States has made it clear that the US Space Force can carry out offensive operations to attack ground and cyberspace targets on Earth.
It can be seen from this that the United States has long since seized the opportunity in the "militarization" of space! The US "space force" is obviously the unit of the US military that launches military operations in space in order to deploy military weapons in space! Therefore, on the one hand, the United States has called on its lips not to deploy powerful weapons in space, but on the other hand, it has embarked on the militarization of space, and this once again shows the sinister nature of the United States in its consistent practice of "saying one thing and doing another."
In this case, we can understand the purpose of the draft proposed by the United States: It is obvious that the United States is trying in vain to "lock up" the military forces of other countries in space after it has already established its military superiority in space. As a result, the United States can occupy the "military hegemony" of space for a long time. And we know that Russia's greatest advantage lies in its nuclear weapons, and once the US-Japan draft is passed, this will be tantamount to directly failing to bring into play Russia's greatest military superiority over the United States! It can be seen that this US proposal is aimed at Russia! Of course, Russia will veto it!
However, the United States is very angry about this, believing that Russia has "backtracked" because Russian President Putin himself had clearly stated that he "has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons in space" before this. As a matter of fact, apart from objective reasons, the reason why Russia will forcefully veto the US motion may be more "made" by the United States itself, and why do you say that? It turns out that the United States has just vetoed the proposal for Palestine to formally join the United Nations, which is agreed to by all just countries in the world, including China and Russia! Therefore, outside analysts believe that Russia's move is also retaliation against the United States for "vetoing" Palestine's entry into the United Nations.
So, what is China's attitude in this vote? According to what is known so far, the US proposal won the support of three of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the affirmative votes of all 10 non-permanent members. Russia voted against it, while China abstained. In the author's view, China's move is undoubtedly very clever.
The mainland has not explicitly expressed its support for Russia in the confrontation between the United States and Russia, nor has it explicitly expressed its support for the US proposal. This undoubtedly shows the extraordinary wisdom of a great power. In this way, other countries will not be able to know China's true attitude, and thus will not be able to find out the bottom of China. Obviously, China's 5,000-year-old wisdom and strategy as a great power cannot be thoroughly understood by a "young" country like the United States, which has been founded less than 300 years ago.
End of this issue.
