Beijing says committed to moratorium on nuclear tests after US accusations
RT | April 16, 2020
China said on Thursday it is committed to a moratorium on nuclear tests. The statement from its Foreign Ministry followed a US State Department report that said China may have conducted low-level underground nuclear test explosions.
Spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters that China has been actively fulfilling commitments to treaties on arms control. “The US criticism of China is entirely groundless, without foundation, and not worth refuting,” the spokesman added.
Beijing may have secretly set off low-level underground nuclear test explosions despite claiming to observe an international pact banning such blasts, the US State Department said, in a report on Wednesday.
US concerns about possible breaches of a ‘zero yield’ standard for test blasts have been prompted by activities at China’s Lop Nur nuclear test site throughout 2019, Reuters said, citing the report. Zero yield refers to a nuclear test in which there is no explosive chain reaction of the type ignited by the detonation of a nuclear warhead.

A New Era Of Mass Armies Approaches
BY IAN WELSH | SEPTEMBER 29, 2023
The army, or a part of it at the war college, has perked up and noticed some of the lessons of the Ukraine war, and that it’s a war that the US military could not fight. They’ve missed a lot of things, or felt they couldn’t/shouldn’t write about them, but they’ve figured some stuff out and written about them in a new report, “A Call to Action: Lessons from Ukraine for the Future Force” by Lieutenant Colonel Katie Crombe, and Professor John A. Nagle.
The entire thing is worth reading, but I’m going to pull out three of the main points. The first is that a volunteer US military can’t fight a real war.
The Russia-Ukraine War is exposing significant vulnerabilities in the Army’s strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand and replace casualties.11 Army theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600 casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries. With a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800 new personnel each day. For context, the United States sustained about 50,000 casualties in two decades of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In large-scale combat operations, the United States could experience that same number of casualties in two weeks. (emphasis mine)

And by the way… who on this earth – with a sound and thinking brain – would
believe in anything claimed by the USA aka whatever president or state-related
ministry or organisation.
They all got exposed as LIARs again and again.
From the Korean-War to Vietnam, to public assassination of highest
politcal figures, to Katrina’s aftermath & FAILED prevention, to housemade water
crises to 9/11 including air safety in NYC, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Ukraine,
Russia”Gate” and Libya ( the lastest where a british !!!! parliamentary committee
came to the conclusion all was based on fraund -> wrong or manipulated
intelligence, fake news and utter willingness to go to war !!!)
Go to Wikileaks and pick up whatever topic you like and then read those emails or
sources and take a look at public statements and corporate-media(mass or not) so
callled articles – some even use the word “Investigative” – they are mostly a parade
of distortions, omissions, whitewashing, lies, imputations of others, doctored
statistcal numbers, faked sources & intelligence and so on, and on and on….
Go to ShadowStatistics ( shadowstats.com ) and take a look at official economical
released data & stats.!!??
Americans are the most brainwashed public ever. It ‘s just a question of the topic of
how much truth is actually appropriate. It’s all shrouded in double standards, hypocrisy
and mendacity aka exceptionalism for decades now.
