Perun made a quite interesting video about this. Basically the US, after the end of the cold war, stopped pit production and relied on the many pits they still had laying around. Now they are worrying that old pits might become unreliable and unserviceable which could weaken the US’ nuclear deterrence. Because of that the US is seeking to restart pit production.
A lot of uranium is also mined in countries which aren’t necessarily US aligned. So I assume that’s also a worry. That one day you won’t have a source of uranium.
The recent one is Niger. IRC they produce(d?) a lot of the Uranium used in France. Obviously, Russia/Wagner’s been meddling and the French were basically kicked out after the coup there.
Perhaps the plan is to reach sustainability by eliminating 90% of the population over a short period of time?
TFW your domestic policy makes Thanos look like the reasonable one.
I don’t know, man. Thanos was way worse. Earth is what, 0.00000001% of the universe population?
But what if it isn’t? What is Earth is really the only planet carrying self-aware species in the transportable distance?
Then yes. Thanos would be a more reasonable creature.
Would we consider nuclear annaliation a green project?
How else do you think the US is planning on meeting its climate goals? Certainly not by holding corporations accountable.
Maybe it’s because the other major nuclear power keeps making new nuclear threats every week and just withdrew from a major nuclear proliferation treaty?
This. How do people not pay attention to this stuff.
For the Russian takeover. Putin has let his weapons deteriorate so he’s telling his minions here to get prepared for him.
We also need to arm all of the new B-21 raiders. I believe I read they’re going to start off with producing 100 of them.
