Thats incredibly crass and you should be ashamed of yourself

The proposed law is only available to people with a terminal illness judged to have 6 months or less to live, needs to be signed off on by two doctors and a judge, and the patient needs to take the drugs themselves. If anything it's potentially too restrictive, but a step in the right direction.
That is what the big AI companies do, though they are actually just packaging up American corporate norms as "neutral".
You dont have sufficient information to calculate the momentum of the third body in the new system. If you are treating the system as Newtonian you need the mass of it to calculate its momentum in the new frame, if you are treating it as relativistic you need its total energy.
Its possible that it was built to a lower standard than would be expected in the west, both in terms of quality and worker safety. Though unless you have specific reports of that I dont see any reason just to assume it because Arabs bad.
In addition this was largely built by Korean companies who have a successful record of building NPPs at home without incident, I imagine Korea wouldnt be particularly happy if their citizens (especially highly trained and economically productive ones) were being abused to build foreign infrastructure.
The main point is that NPPs dont have to be stuck in a quagmire, and using Hinkley Point as a stand in for all NPP construction is disingenuous, just as using the UAE as a sole example would be.
So existing examples that go against your argument dont count because you dont like the country. OK.
Counterpoint: UAE went from zero nuclear energy to producing as much as Denmark or Portugal produce renewables in ten years. From a base of zero nuclear expertise in the country.
That kind of thinking was wrong a decade ago and is still wrong now. If we have any chance of stopping climate change we are going to have to massively decarbonise not only electricity production, but also transport and heating. That's going to mean a massive electrification of those sectors and a huge increase in demand over decades. Putting off large fixed investment now as it wont help out immediately but will help significantly during the time that electricity demand is growing is just nonsense.
A less pesemistic spin is, it is allowing the nuclear armed states of the world to discuss what they agree on (or can at least acquiesce to) without direct confrontation risking nuclear armegeddon.
What's he going to do, invade?
So Putin is allowed to escalate but no one else is?
The weapons "cant be used" in the diplomatic sense, it not like the bombs phone up the pentegon to ask permission to be used. If we're talking about the US ripping up all its commitments I think other countries might be less inclined to pay attention to those.
