Vladimir Putin says he want to upgrade all of Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Donald Trump has responded he want to upgrade all of America's nuclear arsenal as well -- "until the world comes to its senses," what ever the fuck that means.

Will China join in the nuclear spiral? It's the latest trend for population control.

Did anyone stop to think that nuclear capabilities are defined by protocols signed in the past?

It is not a case to say: Allocated more money for the men in uniform and lets develop weapons.

Look up SALT Strategic Arms Limitations
The so-called civilizations are guided by sovereign countries that engaged on correcting the mistakes of the past.

What someone in China might have thought is:
  • Hey Wang! How about we develop nuclear capabilities to rival the other superpowers?
  • Stop drink Agoto Ping! They would aim that arsenal to China and we don't want to live with that thought.
  • Wang, you need to be "astute". Build capabilities to destroy the other countries while they are guided by civilized processes but we can do whatever we want as we need to event-to-event until we get that level of civilization
  • I know you want promotion and become the boss, but where we are going to get the technology from?
  • Ping, look to Iran. Like Iran, we pretend to be pacific and build the defense capabilities as we are doing it.
  • Wang, look to the oceans, we need the oceans for trading and supplies. We don't have a navy for open sea, Maximum we can do is impress, that Filipino guy. We go for it and someone will hit us where we don't expect.

the one elephant in this room is I'm beginning to believe tptb are
starting to think they can survive the nuclear apocalypse.

If the first shot is fired as you believe the southern hemisphere will
be the target????

speeding up for space is way to late for species, maybe we send the
ark dwellers for they have better survival abilities than us smart humans

if it takes others being "wacko" to make one look reasonable, aren't we
then all led by the nincompoops? can't see how this is good.

getting better before getting worse......doesn't worse come overnight, while
better eases in? ;-0

I'll go for 1/23-2/3 bucket, after that popcorn needs refilling.

watching is becoming way to easy, as briefing becomes tricky.
