It takes a lot of people to launch a nuke. While missile operators are trained to act quickly, they are also drilled hard on adherence to policy. A 94% on the test for that policy is a failing grade.

And while I think you’re very right to not trust the US or Russia to adhere to treaties, if said treaty requires that training policies and doctrine reflect the no first strike stance, that would mean a whole lot of people would have to be willing to violate that treaty in order to launch first. Heck, there’s been incidents during the Cold War where a single person’s hesitancy to follow approved launch policy has averted total nuclear war.

I think a treaty and accompanying training and doctrine could create sufficient barriers to make a nuclear first strike far less likely, though, of course, not impossible. But that alone seems like a worthwhile thing to pursue.

Hey, yanno, gonna be real with you, I’m not that familiar with the Russian policy, I assumed they didn’t have a no first strike policy because they were specifically mentioned in this article and it states that only China and India have formal no first strike policies.

While I don’t think it bears much on how reasonable it is to suggest nuclear powers agree to never strike first, China’s arsenal is uniquely well designed for this kind of strategy. They employ zero static sites, unlike the US and Russia, relying on mobile launchers, subs and bombers. This makes them tactically poised for a retaliatory strike as they don’t have as much of the risk of losing their launch sites in a first strike. The US doctrine of preliminary strike in the event a nuclear attack seems likely is designed to protect their ability to launch at all.

While this kind of treaty would be slightly “advantageous” to China, it’s only because they set up their nuclear arsenal with this far more reasonable and less aggressive strategy in mind from the get go while Russia and the US would have to adapt and convert their arsenal.

This is sensible and thus it won’t happen

Calls for ceasefire seem empty as long as the country making them is still providing aid.

Still gonna send him the bombs to kill those kids tho huh

So you’re saying there’s hope?

Sick speedrun strat

Lmaooo what a stupid thing for an American president to say

I’d guess slow news week, but, uh, I don’t think that’s true.

I dunno! But if it means more people watch Wang Gang’s videos, cool! He’s a great chef and he teaches a lot of interesting and varied techniques in his videos.

The controversy isn’t simply about egg fried rice. Lots of people cook and eat egg fried rice and make videos about it. The issue is the accidental timing of the video release coincided with the anniversary of Mao’s son’s birthday and many others have used egg fried rice as a way to dissent against the government, specifically around Mao Anying’s birthday or death anniversary.

I think it would be somewhat akin to bringing sushi to a Bush Sr. press conference to highlight when he puked on a Japanese official, though that would probably go over fairly well in the States.

But basically, egg fried rice protests are a Chinese phenomenon, Chef Wang Gang accidentally played into that, and it probably got more steam than it should because this happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For further watching (with a lil cooking lesson!) here’s a video Wang Gang has listed on his channel on Egg Fried Rice, released in May, so, no controversy

I’m fairly certain that’s mistaken, I remember hearing about this in 2020.

I’m not even sure how this could surface again, despite it being around the anniversary, since I thought he took down the video that year?

This event happened in 2020, though, I have no idea why they’re publishing this now.

Check out the mentioned chef, Wang Gang. He makes Uncle Roger look like a line cook.

Isn’t this an old story? I don’t think this happened recently in the least. Anyway, Chef Wang Gang is phenomenal, one of my favorite YouTube cooking channels, highly recommended for Sichuan recipes of varying complexity, from simple to challenging.
