@transgrammaractivist @Terry @Shadowman311 @weaf I don’t even believe in nukes as described; though it’s obvious this ain’t it.
@Terry @Shadowman311 @transgrammaractivist @weaf Considering the stakes, I don’t understand why anyone takes the Nukes Narrative at face value.
@transgrammaractivist @Shadowman311 @Terry @weaf Essentially, everything available to the general public regarding nuclear power / weapons. It simply occurs to me over time that I cannot verify the veracity of any of that, beyond taking some “respected authority’s” word for it. The longer it drones on, the less likely it seems to me.
@transgrammaractivist @Shadowman311 @Terry @weaf They wouldn’t all have to agree to that. That’s not really the way any of this works.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @transgrammaractivist @Shadowman311 @Terry @weaf On some of the exercises I was on in the military, we operate at least up to the Lt Gen(3 star) level as if nukes are real and both ourselves and our adversaries have them, for whatever that's worth. Seems like a lot of effort to maintain an illusion.
I have also heard that nukes 'expire' where the core halves need to be re-enriched every decade or so, but have no idea if that's true or not.
