Weapons Of Mass Destruction - Tumblr Posts
Since World War II, there has been a trend towards fewer wars, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine standing as a major 'aberration'. With decades of experience as an international lawyer, diplomat and head of UN Iraq inspections, Hans Blix examines conflicts and other developments after World War II. He finds that new restraints on uses of force have emerged from fears about nuclear war, economic interdependence and UN Charter rules. With less interest in the conquest of land, states increasingly use economic or cyber means to battle their adversaries. Such a turn is not free from perils but should perhaps be welcomed as an alternative to previous methods of war. By analysing these new restraints, Blix rejects the fatalistic assumption that there will always be war. He submits that today leading powers are saying farewell to previous patterns of war, instead choosing to continue their competition for power and influence on the battlefields of economy and information.

Let's talk about the good man who always assumed that crises could be solved with diplomacy.
The competition between states without war is the counter-model to the eternal repetition of escalation which has always led to war and conflict.

I don't think that anyone seriously fears that the world can be blown to pieces all together. But what one can fear and rightly so are regional things, like in the Middle East, India, Pakistan, the Korean Peninsula, borders in Africa, etc.

Nobody wants to be humiliated. Humiliation leads to bad things.

The consequences of the Iraq war have changed the whole course of history. Based on a lie by the US to take revenge for 9/11, the entire world's history was changed and we are still feeling the effects.

Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction but the hawks in the white house wanted war and ultimately did not change the entire world's history for the better and that's putting it nicely.
In an in-depth interview with director Greta Stocklassa, retired politician and diplomat Hans Blix reflects on his career as head of the UN Arms Control Commission and the legacy he will leave behind for future generations. The 94-year-old Swede held the post during the war on terror between 2000 and 2003, becoming a key player in a global crisis.
While one war fades from history, another has begun.
Humanity is doomed to repeat its patterns and mistakes.
The greatest threat to humanity is the use of weapons of mass destruction, overpopulation with not enough resources, climate change.

That's the better idea of absolutely irresponsible managers, courts and other gun fetish vending machines that give out ammunition in exchange for a money card and an ID check, even with face recognition. (Well that helps to identify the killer right after the killing rampage).
Who wants to carry a lot of ammunition with them when they can buy it at the crime scene?
Buying a lot of ammunition in a gun store might make someone suspicious, but it's not like anyone wants to look in the supermarket when the young man dressed in black with the strained face is stocking up on ammunition.
Hello, I would like to have a few cigarettes and where is the ammunition machine? Was the testimony of the lone survivor when the officer asked him can you say what you saw or heard before the rampage started.
We have nothing against guns for the simple reason that the ones that are in circulation can no longer be taken away from dysfunctional people. But new weapons should only be issued with a mental aptitude test and a suitable background check.
What's the problem terrorists from abroad also get a background check before they can enter the US to stop them.
Well now comes the sad truth: fellow Americans kill more people at home than terrorists ever did.
Ammunition vending machines have no place in supermarkets, or what's next - schools, movie theaters, gas stations, hospitals, churches?
The lazy asses should drive to their weapons supermarkets - it's much more masculine!
Really now ammunition with baby diapers if then we want to be able to buy everything there! Weed, porn literature, sex toys of course from vending machines with ID check!

You really don't have to fulfill every wish of the weapons industry when the heads of many politicians are already up to their necks in the ass of the weapons industry, oh well then we understand it with so much darkness you can no longer see reality.
