The growing Chinese nuclear arsenal unrestricted by cold war-era treaties is the more pressing concern in nuclear arms (de)escalation.

The only mayor candidate capable of standing up to Trump

I think having a progress bar for project 2025 is a bit disingenuous. There has a been a ton of damage to NIH, but that site says nothing has happened to NIH yet.

The 15% tariff is probably a positive thing. It’s motivation for European companies to find customers outside of the US and eventually decouple, without the shock of a total embargo.

Ew, Theo Von

They literally campaigned on a slogan saying that doubling the prison time would cut crime in half. Insanity.

Definitely so in the EU

Brings a new meaning to the phrase “cash me outside”.

Trump and Netanyahu have alienated 92 million people from the west and kicked a massive, nuclear, hornets nest. I worry that the Tehran regime has nothing left to lose at this point. They’re on the ropes militarily, but they’re not out of power.

would probably take a month or two

Closing Hormuz would blockade the Saudis as well.

That is not the argument stated in the article

Sánchez argued that Spain doesn’t need to spend 5 percent of its GDP to fulfill its so-called capability targets, meaning new objectives of weapons inventory agreed by NATO defense ministers earlier this month.

He also wrote that a 5 percent defense spending goal would jeopardize the country’s welfare system, force the government to increase taxes on the middle class, scale back commitments to the green transition and curtail international development cooperation.

“It is the legitimate right of every government to decide whether or not they are willing to make those sacrifices,” he wrote.

Rushing to 5 percent would also force Madrid to buy off-the-shelf equipment instead of fostering its own industrial base, as well as take money away from welfare policies, Sánchez also wrote.

The Spanish Socialist party is in a coalition with the junior left-wing Sumar party, which opposes increased defense spending and whose members are expected to attend a counter-summit for peace in parallel to the NATO summit.

“Breyer is leading an insurrection and must be put down!” /s

Yeah could just be word autoformatting

That’s pretty impressive, is there an article I can read about this?

solving the first problem is probably easier than explaining the complex physics to everyone with the current education system. A more inclusive government would also improve the education system and lead to better understanding, too.

Trump can just veto the bill if he doesn’t want to sanction Russia, they should stop trying to water it down.

Wouldn’t be funny at all.
