Vivek, getting carried away with the Israel-Gaza war fever. He sounds more like a one of those Hindutva nutjobs campaigning in front of a Hindutva crowd, than a US presidential candidate, campaigning in front of a Republican Jewish crowd. In 2023, we can have a US presidential candidate talking about putting heads on a spike, like its the Medieval Ages. Seeing how far-gone politics is in the US, I'm not surprise that this type of rhetoric could get votes.
LOL!
Vivek can be an all American, yet still have an Indian homeland to be proud off. While the Palestinians, in his eyes must be denied of their own homeland and must move out to rest of the Arab world. Vivek has US citizenship and an American accent, but inside, he is still a typical Indian Hindutva snake oil salesman.
He sounds the same as the Hindus back home which parade with child sacrifices and cover themselves in excrement. (no, this is not hyperbole, there are frighteningly real pictures of those things)
Any who fail to condemn such stone age behavior are themselves also uncivilized.
Seems fine to me because formal talks on limits is off the table which was why the last time they tried was instantly rejected. It also allows China can ask their own questions as well. China isn’t going to agree to any limits until their own arsenal is sufficient enough.
WSJ reports that western experts says China arguments that they have less weapons is getting thinner now that it is at 500 but Russia and the US has 3700 each. Pretty clear that they want China nuclear arsenal to be counted as part of Russia nuclear arsenal which is completely absurd and unacceptable by China.
Not to mention that the status of the US-Russia new start treaty is questionable with expiration coming soon in early 2026.
The three leaders Gulf Arabs can do business and considered reliable but incompetent from there perspective. if Trump wins re election there will be deep satisfaction and celebrations in GCC. Erdogan is in different class. i wont comment further.
This Turkish professor in Qatar. you have to know background to understand how he is distributing responsibility.
I am more disappointed to the fact that China didn't get much of concessions from the US. Basically, the US just tones down its irrational behavior and climb down from attic. Of course, we don't know what the US has actually promised but doubtful it is going to keep its words.
Biden administration desperately needs a meeting with Xi for international and domestic consumption. Without such meeting, Biden's election next year would be even tougher due to the fact that Biden looks weak as a statesman if not able to secure a meeting with Xi. China only gains is time from now to before election the US would be more focus on election.
IMHO, a meeting with Xi will not affect Biden's chances of re-election. Xi can go as far as begging on his knees for Biden's forgiveness in front of the World press, and it still won't change the expected outcome. This is assuming there's no "anomalies" with the election.
They didnot specify who are leaving. there could be ukranian decent people who are needed in Europe. Europe will generally need more people. so highly likely they can extract from Canada like French.
I don't see a problem in agreeing to limit Chinese nukes to 3700 for five or ten years. China can always build more once such a treaty expires
