+Even when countries such as China are integrated into the international order, their identities are coopted to further the US’s interests – the nuclear issue is always decided by the privileged. And, there is still a fear that it will rise up despite the fact that the US is the only country in history to ever use a nuclear bomb – we will always be considered the Other. |

+I advocate for a complete ban of nuclear power in the U.S. and western European countries. Anything less than a prohibition threatens to continue a presence of nuclear threat from the U.S, either discursively limiting the East or physically. Nuclear power has become the corner stone of new imperialism.
