"look I know y'all said lower prices, but I think we can do better! Higher prices, for everyone and everything!"

Well damn, so much for the unmaintained nukes theory

Fuck me. That's annoying as shit to sing

God fucking dammit this one got me too.

Is there a Saddam's Hiding place that I won't lose my shit to?

ITT:

1. "No shit."
2. People like the smell of Executive butthole

But does spherical cow travel on frictionless surfaces? Otherwise, I fail to see superiority

How bout no

That's too bad.

Time to see if people I suspect of being on it were on it.

He's at the end of his career, doesn't need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.

OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities

Problems for Trump.

Not problems for a lame duck

I think a lot of these are covering Romeo and Juliet scenarios. 19+16 is def not ok in a lot of those.

Interesting. Minnesota has ballot backed electronic voting (vote is done on paper, read by machine), and the presidential results were far closer than anyone here is admittedly happy about, but it's not exactly possible to do ballot stuffing like this.

I can see one swing state having an anomaly like this possible - that's an anomaly.

The 7 swing states that Trump won? That's a pattern.

However, I also would want to know what the bullet ballots were for all 50 states, not just the ones neighboring the swing states states to say it's a pattern.

But the other part where it's specific counties thats weird. To me, that sounds more like organized efforts to get people to at least vote for president. A cyber attacker certainly wouldn't use county voting participation data to find registered voters unlikely to vote and cast a bullet ballot for them... Right?

no, see, in Trump's head, Guilliani is a loser because he couldn't escape having his stuff taken by the law

Weird. Either there's a 4D chess move here, or Trump doesn't have full control of the GOP like he wants.

That's going to cause problems.

But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He's not spreading lies, he's exaggerating the truth.

The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.

Ok, so I hadn't known about that. I am surprised I didn't know about that. It does look like producing it is a minor problem - ~5% of natural lithium is in this form. You can apparently make it in nuclear reactors as well. But you're right, once you produce it, you have it.

However, to further my point, isotope separation isn't exactly easy, and other than the use for nuclear fusion, lithium-6 dueteride doesn't have value, outside selling for nuclear weapons.

Knowing about how Putin sold and nationalized private business and government entities in the 90s and early 2000s, I wouldn't be surprised if he sold the Soviet stockpile for an enormous amount to otherwise sanctioned countries.

The reason I came to this conclusion was when they withdrew from the Test Ban treaty, and have yet to actually succeed in a nuclear weapon test. I think they are attempting to rebuild their arsenal, and it's not going well.

Back at the beginning of the arms race, the US believed Russian propaganda that they had significantly more nukes than the US was capable of producing.

By the time the US had around 4000 nukes, later intelligence revealed Russia had 4. The US decided to maintain the policy of the arms race as it was very beneficial to the defense industry and research.

The cost to develop and maintain a working thermonuclear weapon is enormous, let alone fission bombs. Russia never had the resources to maintain an arsenal the West isn't capable of intercepting. You may recall the "Iron Dome" missile defence system that was removed from Europe.

The rocket platforms are expensive enough. The nuclear material requires time, maintenance, and a fuck load of power to produce.

I get the fear. China can do it, they have all the resources and knowledge to. Same with India.

Facts of nukes help: Tritium has a halflife of 12.3 years. Meaning after 12.3 years, the amount of tritium in a nuke is half. the 500lbs of tritium in the 60s is now 35lbs today. Obviously I dont know how much is needed to make a nuke, but it's not easy to concentrate tritium well. The most effective way is replacing control rods in nuclear reactors with lithium rods. But that's not the real issue. That's relatively minor.

The problem is weapons grade uranium or plutonium. You need to enrich those to very high % of U-235 to get a big enough blast to trigger the fusion reaction. To do that, enormous, power intensive centrifuge facilities are required. And it takes a long time to produce enough for a fission bomb.

Given that Putin operates on wealth, and the shit state of the Russian military? They didn't maintain any operational nukes after the Soviet Union fell.

Man reading "Chinese court ruled rights were violated" is such a rollercoaster ride

Wow. This guy huh?

I can't remember how, but Archeagos was supposed to be connected to the short squeeze and fall of GME in 2021.

Credit Suisse folded into Bank of Switzerland.

$160b? I have a feeling he didn't play by whatever rules billionaires actually play by.

It's too late at night for me right now, but did Gaetz ever get on Trump's bad side?

Is it possible he's using Gaetz to test the waters of his nominees, or is he using the nomination to humiliate Gaetz? Has Trump responded to the scandal?

It seems odd that Trump would purposely trigger infighting before he took office.
