Those who might be prepared to review and possibly revise their understanding of what conservative means today (a conservative thing to do, I know), here is a little overview:

And an excellent discussion:

It doesn't matter what Conservative means, it matters why men so far have not overcome their doctrinal and philosophical differences, in the age of MAD.

So why doesn't China destroy its nuclear weapons?
You forgot to tell us.

To deter the US with its delusional individual freedom ideology. The ugly 'America First' US ideologues would force the CCP out at gunpont if China disarmed, and plunder its people and resources.

Thus men must overcome their doctrinal and philosophical differences, in the age of MAD.

Rule by (individual and national) self-interest certainly won't achieve it, common prosperity must be part of the deal, as posited in the UNUDHR.

Heard on the radio today, in a discussion about the current state of the world: "politics isn't working any more."

Why?

Because self-interested nations and individuals don't want to abide by international law and the principles of the UNUDHR.

The ugly human....
