65. Don't pretend to understand nuclear technology. You don't..

Mon Jun 23, 2025, 11:12 PM

Jun 23

Several hundred thousand people, human beings all, were killed early in this century because of people in this country who don't understand shit about nuclear technology.

Now we have blood thirsty thugs falling for the same bullshit.

This suggests that their ignorance of nuclear technology has negative ethical results as well.

It is telling that the admirers of the orange ignoramus in the White House here have no objections to an obviously insane person having access to thousands of nuclear weapons.

That I think is a serious concern, not that apologists for war have either the moral or technical sense to grasp it.

Under these conditions are foreign governments allowed to kill American scientists, at say, Los Alamos?
