also, this is an incredible statement, they’re basically moaning that China would be able to respond effectively to a nuclear first strike by the burger empire

Asian defence officials said a joint early warning system would also allow China to launch nuclear weapons upon receiving warning of an impending nuclear strike. That would mark a shift from its strategy of using nuclear weapons only in retaliation against a strike that has already occurred — a change that nuclear experts believe Beijing has long contemplated.

    No real arguments against that here! I’d like it if no one got nuked, but it’s definitely going to take a lot of time and effort to unwind the empire.

      Agreed, I’d prefer if there are no nukes involved. But unless massive change happens in the west to oust the neocons running the show in almost all western countries and institutions, I think this might be where we’re headed- and that nukes may not even be the worst of the problems the world will have to face if the neocons aren’t thoroughly stomped out quickly enough, even.
