US Political News and Trump’s China visit

[hasssanali8998]

USA should know if they test it ,rest will follow .
well boys looks like we will see nukes in 4k or even Pakistani nukes in 4k

 

[PK781]

bring on the show, light em up !!
Been a while since the world saw good strong fireworks

 

[hasssanali8998]

i dont know what to say man , i hope he means cold testing

"Because of other countries testing programs" , i think he means cold testing or funding more research on nukes

yeah looks like this is just testing missiles and other support tech . but my god someone fact check this mans tweets

Was expected. Would give an opportunity to Pakistan for testing its thermo-nuclear bombs.

If nuke testing is restarting, Pak should test their own nukes as well. There's only so much data that simulations can provide. Real tests validate theoretical calcuations and I am sure Pakistan has been working on updated designs in addition to minituarized warheads.

i dont think we have h bombs we only have boosted fission nukes . we should develop them though

with modern experimental methods you don't need to . unless laws of physics breakdown nukes will work . testing nukes now is just a political stunt

Didn't Russia test theirs? Nothing happened (i mean in terms of consequences).

Now wait for NorthKorea, China, UK, France etc all will test theirs too (to make sure they actually work

That's fair and exactly the response I thought you might give.

Valid concerns. Especially with naturalized citizens. If you take the time, you'll find that very few immigrants have had their citizenship stripped. I believe I even posted it here. The US would have to have some type of radical, cataclysmic shift to start targeting naturalized citizens for de-naturalization.

It might sound boiler plate, but considering the rhetoric coming from administration officials, how can anything be considered beyond the pale? Historically, yes it would have to be egregious violations to warrant stripping someone of their citizenship, but this administration and its members seem desperate to get through radical changes.

Abuse of power by admin officials?

I have faith in the tried and true assimilation process and the voters to bring checks and balances to such plans soon enough. Having said that, I too am not opposed to to slowing down immigration in some categories, due to the restructuring our economy requires and the employment crisis that seems to be coming around the pike, with all the layoffs announced and the danger of the AI bubble popping, leading even more layoffs.

when , only NK has tested nukes in 21st century

How do you validate that metal machining or case manufacturing was done right? How do you know that the weapon built in the 2000s is still effective - plutonium changes phase and density over time due to self-irradiation; explosives used in the lenses chemically degrade; metal interfaces corrode over time. How do you know for sure that the minituarized warheads don't have machining or assembly errors that could affect blast yield.

Theory aside, Pakistan should find out now, rather than later, that its strategic weapons have quality control issues.

u cold test

plutonium changes phase and density over time due to self-irradiation;

explosives used in the lenses chemically degrade; metal interfaces corrode over time.

that's is why you do regular maintenance in these bombs

How do you know for sure that the minituarized warheads don't have machining or assembly errors that could affect blast yield.

you model these situations and test these in experimental reactors . the you perform cold tests to validate that the material will reach criticality

Theory aside, Pakistan should find out now, rather than later, that its strategic weapons have quality control issues.

brother i assure you Pakistan will never compromise in its nuclear weapons

I didn’t put a qualifier on it, but many will have the perception that the motive not economic but xenophobic to ethnic minorities. First the illegal immigrants, then the legal immigrants, and finally the ethnic minorities with “leftist” views; specially of naturalized citizens with threats of de-naturalization and ending birthright citizenship.

I agree immigration levels are high, because we don’t have the economic growth to support new arrivals, but we will have to see how this platform develops.

The same question had been debated to death anywhere in the world. Look at the country I currently live in, if I don't have a connection here (My mother got resettled in Australia before moving to the US), I will NEVER be able to get in, if you think the US is xenophobic, Australia is probably upping 10 notches primarily because we are a welfare state. Which means they don't really welcome immigrants here.

The issue with immigration in Australia, however, is NOT from the conservative government. They are, for some reason (Well, they need the investment and skill), very liberal with immigration; the 2 times the immigration law changed (for stricter rules) were both under the Labour Government (in 2010 and 2023), or the "Lefty"

Immigration is now more or less a battleground issue where parties are basically attacking each other's policy instead of trying to solve the issue; both side have their own issue and reasons to need immigrants. This makes this a double play. The right makes immigrants out like a boogeyman that comes here and takes all the local jobs, commits crimes and etc, while the political left makes immigrants out to be taking up social benefits, the reason why your ER visit is 10 hours is because of immigrants. Both sides make these issues, which in some cases are not compatible (for example, you can't blame immigrants taking over jobs at the same time accusing them of taking all the social benefits. )

But for the US, and most part of the Western world, immigrant is a necessity because it fill the gap between job structure, they take up jobs that people don't want to do, and keep the national production at an equilibrium, as for whether or not we have the resource to deal with it, that's actually more a government thing, it's actually depending on their will, not of the people. This is more like we don't have enough resources to take care of those people, but rather they make it so that they don't give them any resources, so we can say we can't spare any. This is especially true in Welfare states such as Australia, Sweden, or the UK.

On balance I don’t think the US is xenophobic. It’s a very welcoming place and I think we pride ourselves on it. It’s the MAGA faction of the republican that is xenophobic. The US not being as much of a welfare state lets the issue be debated on economics, if we don’t allow xenophobia come into it.
