Didn't Russia sign some sort of treaty that prohibited that?

They wouldn't just go and ignore a treaty, would they?

They'll argue that they didn't sign the treaty, the USSR did.

Even if the federation signed it, they'd still find a reason to ignore it if they wanted to.

It wouldn't matter they see the US Space Force as a violation of that charter

Let's be real: If it wasn't that, they'd come up with another excuse.

Frankly I think all states on the planet capable of that would ignore any treaties if they could get such a stick to wave around.
