The worst thing about this is. Its the same tacttic when he stiff contractors in atlantic city. Except its the tax payers that will be paying for this agreement. Hes still avoiding ANY responsibility.
Ya know... I seem to remember that, in Nevil Shute's classic novel On the Beach, what made nuclear war inevitable was that everybody and his brother's uncle was getting a nuclear weapon. It was nice knowing all of you...
Some countries have people starving to death and yet, when the USA decides they are developing nuclear weapons, those problems seem like they never existed before. What a POS is the politics in the USA when it comes to natural resources from another country
This really, really, really undersells how difficult it is. The main barrier is highly enriched fissile material. But its tech that has no other real world use case so its not somthing anyone has developed for anything but the purposes of making a bomb. So most nations have zero experiance with it. They're starting from scratch and a lot of the things you'd want to be able to do it are blindingly obvious to anyone watching.
What a coincidence, I am developing nuclear weapons in my basement as we speak! Please send 300 billions so I can continue the work, and so we can both call ourselves the winner of this deal.
So is Israel. If the definition of a nuclear weapon is one that is ready to use and will work, then leaving out one or two components while in storage means it's not a nuclear weapon. They have used that fiction for decades.
You are absolutely right, and the fact that you are so downvoted is strong evidence that you are making the right points in the presence of an entity that does not like those points being raised.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKyVg7wmcc I only found out about this recently. It's one minute long. The politician speaking is a member of the socialist party, so, you know... dirty horrible or whatever, but the point remains and cannot be well-argued. There are some territories that are Japanese, but are controlled by Russians. Russians won't cede control of these territories unless Japan promises they won't let Americans build military bases on them, but they won't make that promise.
How many more times are you going to copy/paste the same thing? By the way, when you say something can't be argued, that only means you've closed your mind to any other possible opinion and that YOU can't argue your point any more. I guess that explains the repetition, eh?
Ah, do tell me what control the United States has over Japan. That's "has", as in currently, not a power the U.S. had decades ago that has long since expired.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKyVg7wmcc Here you go. There are some islands that are Japanese, but are Russian-controlled. The Russians won't return the islands to Japan unless Japan promises that they will not permit Americans to build bases on those islands, but Japan won't make that promise.
Maybe they don't want to negotiate for what is rightfully theirs? Maybe they don't want any foreign power telling them what they can do with their territory? There are several possible answers, not just the one you're married to.
That sounds like Russia is trying to extort Japan over islands that already belong to Japan.
But since you're the one convinced that we're "beliefs" and you're "facts", perhaps you can provide some sort of fact that proves the U.S. is somehow deciding this for Japan, instead of the very plausible reason that Russia can't tell Japan what to do with Japanese territory.
I assume there is some article supporting your claim?
Japan's not a US vassal state. The US has no governmental control over them. The US may have some control due to their military and to being (at least at one time) a world power, but that doesn't make them a vassal state. I mean the US is closer to being a vassal state of Israel, due to Israel's control over their govt, than Japan is to being a vassal of the US.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKyVg7wmcc Japan is a functionally a colony of the US, as outlined by this politician who raises a very curious point about a particular set of Islands that are Japanese but "owned" by Russia. Russia won't give the islands back unless Japan promises not to let Americans build bases on it. I WONDER WHY JAPAN REFUSES TO MAKE THAT PROMISE?
Obviously because of the US's military and because of them being (previously) a world power, like I said. If you go against what the US wants, you risk them fucking with you, militarily or otherwise. Look what they've done to Cuba, what they did to Vietnam. They've kidnapped Venezuela's President. They're attempting to economically destroy Canada so they can take them over. None of those countries are their vassals. The US has been bullying the rest of the world for a very long time. Japan /1
Your point that the US was previously a world power and still also able to pressure Japan in such a way that it can't get its own territory back supports the idea that Japan is not a sovereign nation.
is just one of many countries who has to make the decision between doing what the US wants, or receiving retaliation from the US. That doesn't make any of them vassal states. /2
They're rhododendrons . And boy it would sure be a shame if someone cut them down and removed them from my property free of charge to find out that I definitely don't have fissile materials buried beneath the roots.
Feds are too fucking stupid. So they might, but they’re still fucking stupid. Especially that patel bitch. I bet there’s pix of her/him in cocktail gowns and fake tits somewhere.

Because the US wrote their constitution for them and are an American vassal state.
Countries are not sovereign if they have any form of American control, and are deemed adversarial for resisting.
