Russia said any dialogue with Japan regarding a peace treaty to formally end World War II could only begin once Tokyo abandoned what Moscow described as a damaging “anti-Russian” stance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/japan/politics/russia-japan-peace-talks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #russiajapanrelations #russia #northernterritories #disputedislands
U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to restart the testing of nuclear weapons has raised fears and confusion in Washington. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/trump-nuclear-testing-curveball/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #nuclearweapons #china #russia
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to immediately restart the process for testing nuclear weapons after a halt of 33 years, a move that seemed to be a message to rival nuclear powers China and Russia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/nuclear-testing-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #nuclearweapons #donaldtrump #china #russia #northkorea

All Eyes on Sudan
Sudan is facing the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crisis and yet, the world looks away.
More than 12 million people have been displaced since war broke out in April 2023 between the army of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF militia led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. Over 150,000 people have been killed.
Now, the city of #Al-Fasher has fallen to the #RSF. Civilians are being targeted, hospitals looted, and entire neighbourhoods destroyed. Half of those displaced are children.
But Sudan’s collapse is not an isolated tragedy; it's the result of decades of colonial destabilisation, exploitation, and the continous influence of other states such as #Egypt, #Russia, #China, The United Arab Emirates and #SaudiArabia. The latter directly receiving weaponry from European states such as #UK, #France and #Germany, as well as the #USA.
The same system that is selling weapons in already war-torn areas, is then sending more weapons to build a border regime to prevent people fleeing from this violence.
We need to stop this madness of endless militarisation. Politics for people, not for profit, and human rights for all.
All eyes on Sudan.
So the last time #America 🇺🇸 tested a nuke was in 1992‽
Also, has anyone fact checked claims by #Putin about their nuclear powered drone that is 100 times smaller than a regular nuclear reactor‽
#Russia 🇷🇺 can build those now‽

The post came less than an hour before #Trump is set to meet with #China president #Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday morning in an effort to come to a trade war truce.
Trump’s missive on Wednesday night also arrived on the heels of him describing Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a #nuclear-powered cruise missile test as “not appropriate”. Trump made those comments after #Putin said that #Russia had successfully tested its “unique” nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile….
Earlier in his post on Wednesday, #Trump also falsely noted that the #US has more #NuclearWeapons than any other country. #Russia currently has the most confirmed nuclear weapons, with >5,500 nuclear warheads while the US has 5,044 nuclear weapons, per the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
The last nuclear test by the US, codenamed “Divider,” was carried out on 23 Sept 1992 at what is now called the Nevada National Security Site.
