We still have no guarantees that weapons, including nuclear weapons, will not be deployed in the space

Well sign a treaty Putin, if you can negotiate one. The previous weaponisation of space treaty was with a shadowy entity known as the "Soviet Union", but they don't seem to be around anymore

So, what sort of policy will maintain and build peace? Do the countries now seeking to acquire nukes and wmd do so because they feel threatened by the current posessors of that technology?
Or do they intend to threaten and attack others?
Kellog-Briand Treaty type arrangements don't seem to do much good. But treaties are legally binding even if not well enforced, and provide a basis on which to use measures to verify compliance and so on.
What works? Any thoughts?
