Ian Fleming Zhou @ianflemingvip.bsky.social · 24/04/2026We have reached a point where an “empty” outcome would count as success. I’m expecting no outcome, and honestly, the distinction between the two is becoming meaningless. 010

Ian Fleming Zhou @ianflemingvip.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Watching A House of Dynamite hit hard. It exposes how fragile the nuclear decision chain is, one button, one person, and unimaginable consequences. No individual should hold that power. Nuclear weapons have no place in humanity’s future. 010
Reposted by Ian Fleming ZhouMFA Austria @bmeia.gv.at · 06/10/2025We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement. 077

Ian Fleming Zhou @ianflemingvip.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I submitted my PhD. thesis for examination today! The journey to this moment has been interesting and eye-opening. I started this PhD. with absolutely no clue how I was going to pay for it. I wasn't given funding, no loans, zero nothing. But somehow, it all worked out. 000

Reposted by Ian Fleming ZhouAnkit Panda @nktpnd.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Vance criticizing freedom of speech in Europe (but not Russia) and Trump calling Zelensky a dictator (but not Putin) should be illuminating for many who still prefer not to see the upshot of what’s happening. But it won’t. 1274
Ian Fleming Zhou @ianflemingvip.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Vance & Hegseth both looked like clowns 🤡. Put being unprepared aside, one should be able to read the room that should be easy right - they failed that too. Shame 020
