Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
#Beijing has maintained silence on the leaked Russian military documents revealing the #Kremlin's plan to use a tactical #NuclearWeapon against #China during a conflict-like scenario.
Notably, these plans reveal #Moscow's deep-seated suspicions toward China, a nation with which #Russia has ostensibly been building a closer alliance since the early 2000s. #Ukraine
This would be a violation of the #1967outerspacetreaty Outer Space Treaty, to which Russia is a signatory reports #Bloomberg citing sources familiar with the issue.
“Jericho missile! Jericho missile! … A doomsday weapon! Shoot powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood – crushing and flattening Gaza,” Likhud Party member of Israel’s Knesset (parliament) Revatal Gotliv demanded in October last year, referring to Israel’s open secret of possessing missiles with nuclear warheads.
“Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength, and security! It’s time to kiss doomsday.” @palestine #Israel
Last month I had the pleasure of having a talk and discussion with members of International Students / Youth Pugwash about my book Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha on Zoom.
Here is a video of the book talk presentation part of the event.
"Analysis: Calls for South Korean nuclear arsenal unlikely to fade despite US deal"
A few things to unpack: " a sense that the South is a growing global power that should be among the nuclear-armed states."
This presumes nuclear weapons are a political status indicator rather than WMDs. You just get them when you are important enough.
Next, why can South Korea build nuclear weapons quickly? Because it has been stockpiling plutonium that it has been manufacturing by operating nuclear power plants for electricity. #Japan is in the same position.
Nuclear power & nuclear weapons are linked. Nuclear reactors were invented in the Manhattan Project for this exact purpose: to manufacture plutonium. Many countries stockpile PU in case they "need" it militarily later.
