@Matt_Ros @RaviBatra Thanks. Let's see.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@Matt_Ros @RaviBatra Thanks.
Is Pres. Trump going to Canada?

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@Matt_Ros @RaviBatra Interesting world.
There could even soon be a diplomatic solution on Iran war. The U.S. bottom line in the chiapo text could be "highly enriched uranium is a priority consideration in subsequent discussion."Iran got to accept a stronger reference in head text of enriched uranium

@GaukharM Too bad. Already 3 NPT RevCon since 2010.
Thanks.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 @GaukharM @pass_blue Yes, perhaps. I'm reminded of your very strong argument re tyrants/dictators.
But they also have tenure/life expectancy.
& also, like in ancient Rome, the "plebs" (commoners, laborers, ordinary citizens) returned & played a crucial, and often decisive, role in limiting the

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@GaukharM @wetyeti01 @pass_blue Indeed! It's a mad, mad, mad world .... but maybe, not altogether (I fervently hope). One has to be lighthearted ha ha hah. We all die anyway, but such a stupidity for human beings not to find solutions that would approximate the divine balance. We all belong to one humanity.

@GaukharM Sad news to me as in the narrative then the death of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after the 1st day of Epic Fury. Very recently, another narrative seems to have ressurected him. I dealt with him. What do you think why Iran accepted the 2010 NPT RevCon Consensus outcome, particularly the

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@GaukharM Whatever --> your comments to statements or NPT temperature in NYC, I hope there will a consensus outcome (but it should not diminish previous gains).
Thanks.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@GaukharM Already count 2; don't be a tease.
Nerdy or otherwise.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 Just to be clear --> U.S. Senate (CNN already reported on it re Emergency War Powers -- albeit contested as unconstitutional).
Not PH Senate (crazy things going on there ha ha hah).

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

Interesting - Prez Xi referred to Thucydides Trap --> +'l input to realism along others in fully appreciating issues and having firmer estimation of issues' evolution into the future. I guess other countries would have to deal with Iran; otherwise Chinese vessels could only ...

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 Thanks.The war on Iran must end; then.. . Let's see whether the recent Senate significant action could lead to its logical conclusion.The much greater issue afterwards (post bellum) is how Middle East could progress to an enduring harmony, peace, and prosperity amongst themselves

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@Matt_Ros @RaviBatra Thanks. Why should participation of just anybody to listen brilliant or stupid ideas or contribute their take requires financial implication? In regard to veto power (the crux of the problem), perhaps, the "reverse consensus" of GATT/WTO should be studied/explored.

[Philippine Mission to the UN @PHMissionNY]

🇵🇭 PH welcomes the adoption of the UN General Assembly resolution on the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice on climate change. PH thanks @VanuatuUN for its principled leadership of the Core Group behind this historic initiative for climate justice.

“The rule of law matters most when the vulnerable need protection and when the consequences of inaction are irreversible. PH emphasized before the Court that climate change bears directly on international peace and security.”
@DFAPHL

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

The Senate just did very significant action re war on Iran.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 Yes. But also, there were reports that "Project Freedom" was curtailed because SA, Kuwait, and UAE complained; they were not consulted.. As the result, they did not allow the use of U.S. facilities in their countries and even to fly in their respective airspaces.
Thanks.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@GaukharM Yes. Delegations to NPT Review Conferences and all other related meetings have to look back to the 8th (2010) NPT RevCon consensus outcome even if only to guard against the watering down of previous gains.
Thanks.

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 Two U.S. destroyers can not even enter Hormuz during the aborted Project Freedom (just about a day). Multinational escorts?

[Libran Cabactulan @AMBLNC]

@wetyeti01 That's what Pes. Trump has been calling/requesting. Has it happened?
Thanks.
