They don’t have to pay for it and in a rapidly aging country with a very low birth rate they may not have enough people of military age to put together an army at this point.

Taiwan, the island occupied by Japan during the war then the nationalists ran off to it and declared themselves independent because Mao didn’t have a navy? Imagine if the republicans ran off to Hawaii and declared independence then China formed a military alliance with them.
Sorry but based on the Nippon Steel controversy we cannot trust Japan with a steel company so therefore we cannot trust them with advanced missile tech.
Performing when injured? Sounds like any performing group. Athletes, musicians, etc.
Both sides do this over their pet subjects
I agree. If the holocaust was unique then there is no need to say “never repeat it!” since it can’t be repeated if it is unique. History says otherwise. Like you said though, this isn’t some victimization competition but it is exceptional in its scale and industrialization.
Not true. Hitler had little care or understanding of the world outside of continental Europe.

So “You support X so you must be in the pocket of big business! But I support Y and I’m innocent and pure.”? I find the same talking points with solar and wind too.
I’m guessing they expect to sell power
While I’m pronuclear we really need to invest in better nuke power tech. Spending billions, mainly due to the risks with current water cooled reactors, is handicapping it. Systems that minimize waste, use passive failsafe systems, etc are needed.
“I must destroy anything that preceded by religious obsession”. So ISIS aren’t the only barbarians.
The CCP has entered the chat
Your aunt would have to protect herself covid or no covid. Do you think microorganisms only appeared in the last 5 years?
Your last paragraph shows your true self and how “caring” you truly are.
At what point does a nation cross a line from claiming to be solely acting in self defense to becoming a constant aggressor in a region
