Nuclear arms ban treaty confab warns of 'existential threat to humanity'

People can't even give up some of their guns lol

But Japan, which relies on the United States to provide nuclear deterrence, has declined, citing a lack of participation by nuclear weapons states.

No point in the ban I guess if states that have the nuclear weapons don't agree.

@Aurelius: Kishida is not Putin, he has no courage at all, very typical Japanese born after W.W.2 !

That's the most hypocritic thing of all, of course being a vassal state is better shut up !

PM Kishida whose relations in Hiroshima were devastated by nuclear weapons cannot bring himself to propose a ban that Japan supports?

How on earth can he not justify a ban on nuclear weapons?

What a weak individual…!

And how do you suggest we counter Russia, China, North Korea & Iran?

With Love?!

Nothing will change. Just more countries will get them.

Take it to Moscow and Peking and see what the reception is there.
