Paul Jay talks with Matt Korda of the Federation of American Scientists about a range of issues with the U.S. nuclear modernization program, including the Sentinel ICBM, hundreds of billions in cost overruns, the Golden Dome fantasy, and an irrational and dangerous launch-on-warning. Most worrisome of all? The very same people making decisions about nuclear weapons in an uncontrolled arms race are all over the Epstein files.
I wouldn’t trust them with a paper Burger King crown.
that’s a good decision. could we make it a mylar BK crown instead? I’d “trust” them with one of those.
have you ever gotten a papercut from mylar? i have. once. i worked at a blueprint company when i was a teenager and i still have the scar. it was a rite of passage, when you got your first mylar cut you got it butterflied, you bandaged it the rest of the way up and put pressure on until it stopped bleeding (we were all in the same boy scouts troop growing up it’s how i got the job so like we got first aid, just this one cut got no stitches by union policy) and then we’d all go over to the bakery next door which coincidentally is still the best bakery in town, the union would buy you your favorite pastry because you probably just lost a lot of blood, then you got to go home.
every other mylar papercut you had to go get stitches, but your first? that’s how you joined the union.
Disarm the US.
We need international pressure to force the biggest terrorist State to destroy all their weapons and military forces.
I don’t trust them with plastic cutlery.
I’d say there’s a non-zero chance that Trump will drop a nuke to look tough.
“The new Iranian leader wouldn’t show me the proper respect, so I nuked Tehran! Iran had it coming! And I will nuke another Iranian city every day until they UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDER!”
He’s gonna drop it on a tornado in Oklahoma.
edit oh fuck i shouldn’t have guessed that online if they haven’t thought that up already they have now
he’s gonna drop a nuke somewhere else like the south atlantic ocean where a hurricane is forming
I think the EU needs its own nuclear weapon program at this point, whether homemade or imported.
Yeah the french need to tell us and force us to make some of our own. Currently the plan is just for some countries to host french nukes
It’s not like I have a choice
The only person I trust with nukes is Bob Ross.
Happy little mushroom cloud… Jk, I love watching him
Sorry, best 2026 can do is The Rob(bing) Boss. That’ll be two buckets of lymph (magnetic), two buckets of lymph (dairy), and one piece of mathematical stag’s horn the size of a bucket of lymph no takesies backsies
yes, I am an adult so I feel safe that they won’t fire their load at me…
No
The nuclear arsenal is aging so it will probably be OK.
Does it really matter? What choice do we have?
These are the champions of the left after all, who has done more to destroy American hegemony than Trump and his kid rapin buds?
