Jake Sullivan: US will act 'decisively' if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine | US ... - 1 views
-
These nuclear "exchanges" between NATO and Russia are starting to seem much more like a Cold War #2.
-
Seems like Putin is getting very desperate, and a very real question as to whether he would take the bet on using the nuclear option in return for a chance at winning the war. -
Given its potential implications for both Russia's advance into Ukraine and the safety of Russian land it seems hard to tell whether Putin is bluffing or not, but given his history the current situation is frightening.
U.S. Suspects Iran Was Behind a Wave of Cyberattacks - 1 views
-
This article is about cyberattacks on the various companies, specifically Saudi Aramco, an oil company. Apparently Iran is behind the attacks. I find it interesting how cyber warfare might become an even bigger part of conflicts today. It's also interesting how the US and Israel have both been attacking companies from Iran, which isn't scrutinized, yet as soon as Iran does it, it's a huge issue.

I think the relationship between nuclear security and cyber attacks is interesting. The US does not receive much criticism for deploying Stuxnet (designed to damage Iran's nuclear program), but Iran is criticized for deploying computer viruses aimed at other elements of US defense. This raises interesting questions about whether or not Western states have a right to deny non-Western states nuclear acquisition. -
Great point in your post about emphasis of investigations, Robert

Russia Plans Nuclear Plant in Venezuela - 0 views
-
Russia hinted that they wanted to calm any U.S. fears about building a nuclear power plant in Venezuela, whose government is not exactly the closest of the United States' friends. Just an illustration of lingering tension over socialism vs. capitalism, the Cold War, and the spread of nuclear technology. Russia has been building plants worldwide in a mission to sell nuclear energy.
-
One thing that jumped out at me when I read the article is that Russia's first reaction when announcing this plan was to attempt to quell US fears and tell the US that we shouldn't be getting involved. Interesting that other countries see the US as so involved in their affairs that the first thing they do when they do something controversial that does not involve us to to justify it to us...
Iran uses advanced centrifuges, threatens higher enrichment - Associated Press (AP) - 5 views
-
The rising tension between the U.S. and Iran, including threats of Nuclear weapons with "uranium enrichment far beyond levels ever reached in the country," makes me seriously question Trumps decisions to withdraw America from the nuclear deal and continue to test Iran's patience. -
I wonder if in some way Iran progressing their nuclear technology is a good thing, as it requires the rest of the world to come up with a solution to the sanctions put on Iran and increases the stakes for Trump, who may realize that the sanctions are just causing more issues and could result in Iran creating nuclear weapons.
European Union Intensifies Sanction on Iran - 0 views
-
The European Union has toughened sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program, banning trade in industries like finance, metals and natural gas, and making other business transactions far more cumbersome, expressing "serious and deepening concerns over Iran's nuclear program." Iran is now suffering acute inflammation, further lowering is credit and ability to sell oil.
-
It is interesting to consider the dangers that sanctions on states like Iran pose to the international system. Generally, we have been approaching Iran as an "immature" state that does not have the right to have a nuclear program. This sort of attitude alienates Iran and produces resentment against the Western world.

Iran is suffering inflammation??? Or inflation??? :^)

Flooding and Nuclear Waste Eat Away at a Tribe's Ancestral Home - 1 views
-
Much of this tribal land in Minnesota has been damaged beyond repair due to chemical waste, and many Native Americans have a hard time fighting against it.
-
It is totally unfair the way the Native Americans have repeatedly been ignored even with their health and lives on the line. The nuclear power plant and the dangers it causes reminds me of critical theory from APES. This dangerous power plant is built in a community of disadvantaged people and harms them while serving other people.

Iran has also experienced a tough economic climate amidst a world suffering from a great economic depression. For example, Iran has had extreme inflation that has been extremely damaging towards its economy and its power in the world.
