i would love to live in a world without nukes, but the onus is entirely on the US to unilaterally begin disarmament - the US is the only nation to have ever used them in war and can’t be trusted to maintain international treaties. the start of a world free from nuclear weapons is entirely up to the US state probably the funniest thing about the obama presidency was him spending 1 trillion dollars on a new nuclear arsenal. really insane poo poo. and that’s from our supposedly “moderate” recent president

if spending on nuclear weapons is eliminated, that frees up lots of money for chemical and bacteriological weapons

THS posted:iran should have nukes too. it’s the number one way to maintain peace in the face of the very real threat of aggressive american invasions. the USA is a rabid dog and only understands violence Iran shouldn't have nukes, because if they get nukes the Saudis will get nukes in response and that is a nightmare scenario THS posted:i would love to live in a world without nukes, but the onus is entirely on the US to unilaterally begin disarmament - the US is the only nation to have ever used them in war and can’t be trusted to maintain international treaties. the start of a world free from nuclear weapons is entirely up to the US state I agree tbh, I'd love to see an actual movement to disarm and the US would need to lead that charge, mostly because no one trusts us.

In second half of Obama's admin, he was reconciliatory toward Iran, cuba and Vietnam, and anti Kim Jung En. Trump did an opposite, curb stomped Iran while buddied up with Kim. So I expect Biden will go back to friendly with Iran mean to NK. But the blood between US and Iran is really deep. I don't think Biden can do much in his 1st term and I don't know how senile he will be in his 2nd term. Kim OTHO, must know that when the right wing government is elected in SK, he won't be getting any freebie from SK. So he will make good use of Moon's last two years to reestablish a reconciliatory relationship with SK before Moon inevitable get jailed or suicided.

Biden isn't getting a second term. He might not get a first, either.

I thought he said he wasn't going to seek a 2nd term. OTOH lots of American politicos say lots of things.

OhFunny posted:U.S. will 'vigorously defend' TikTok executive order despite ruling It feels like the Trump administration has been probing for some legal issue that had enough popular support that they could outright defy the court system on the issue. There aren't many good reasons to do that, except maybe to establish precedence that the courts are ineffective and shouldn't be trusted at all. None of the issues that have been brought before the court have been worth the loss of executive power that resulted from the executive orders being challenged individually.

quote:In policy recommendations for the nation’s upcoming five-year plan, released on Tuesday, the Communist Party’s Central Committee called for deepening mixed-ownership reform, and it particularly vowed to promote the market-oriented reform of energy, railway, telecom and public utilities. having these sectors be market-oriented sounds kind of lovely and bad, or am I misunderstanding what this means?
