China 'Closely Following' Trump Comments on Nuclear Policy
7 replies, posted
[quote] China said Friday that countries with the largest nuclear arsenals should take the lead in disarmament, after President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin said they wanted to strengthen their nations' nuclear capabilities.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters at a regular briefing Beijing is "paying close attention" to what nuclear weapons policy Trump's administration will follow.
After meeting with Pentagon officials and defense contractors a day earlier, Trump tweeted Thursday: "The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
His comments came hours after Putin said he wanted to strengthen Russia's own nuclear capabilities in the coming year.
The U.S. and Russia hold the vast majority of the world's nuclear weapons. China is also a nuclear power and in 1996, Beijing signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.[/quote]

It's like the current superpower leaders just want to watch the world burn.
I wish our so-called "leaders" could stop acting like kids on a playground on a large scale. If most of these people were hired almost anywhere else, they'd be fired in a week. Why the fuck are they in charge of the fucking world?

Then it's kind of the point to announce it.

If you force people down a two-party system it is near inevitable that apathy, divide, bitterness and hatred will set in.
Instead of "we as a country" it becomes "us vs them".
