Isn’t that illegal under the Outer Space Treaty of 1967?

That just includes nukes. Russia and China have both deployed weapons already.

The rules are silly if it stops only yourself. I live between Russians and they constantly make fun of western anti-war rules as if we're basically tying our hands behind our back and hitting with our heads.
