CM, I see your type as warmongers, intent on the eradication of innocent men, women and children, forgive me if I don't agree with you. Fortunately the majority of Australian also disagree with your infantile approach with all that Americanism.

Bazz, a nice lot of waffle from you.

Yep CM

Trump's SS has Camps, like Gitmo, for extremists like you.

We can't rely on the US. Not now after what we've all seen unfolding there.

Stop being so hard on Paul.

Why shouldn't he believe that a few words on a bit of paper will be sure to control the ratbags in charge in China & Iran among others, even when they feel strong enough to master the world.

Perhaps we don't need to arm our defense forces with guns & missiles when some flags with the worde of the treaty printed on them would have equal deterrent force.

Well Paul, all you need to do is just watch China's actions.
They saw off part of the Ocean for themselves, take other countries
Islands, go drilling in Vietnamese waters for oil & gas and sink their
ships if they object.
Take over Indonesian fishing waters, take over Argentina's fishing waters and so on and on.
But that is all OK isn't it ? Of course it is the Central Kingdom's
rights isn't it ?
Where next ? I wonder if Biden will be a soft touch ?

It is easy to dismiss this treaty as empty words etc, but when it was started all the skeptics dismissed it and said it would never be ratified. But now it has been ratified.

They said the same things about treaties to ban landmines and chemical weapons but they are now banned and a verification regime is in place.

This treaty will slowly bring even more stigma to nuclear weapons just like the stigma surrounding land mines.
