    Sorry, not buying this. War mongering has always been popular in the US, which is why every Republican President does it.

      I mean polling shows it’s not popular. In the past Republican presidents manufactured some pretext to going to war before the war. Not starting a war with no clear goal. No one knows what winning even means.

        Polling is a classic example of bias and statistical undersampling.

        That story makes no fucking sense.

        The nuclear material came from an unidentified leader of an “ethnic insurgent group” in Myanmar who had been mining uranium in the country, prosecutors said. Ebisawa had proposed that the leader sell uranium through him in order to fund a weapons purchase from the general, court documents allege.

        Prosecutors said samples of the alleged nuclear materials were obtained and a U.S. federal lab found they contained uranium, thorium and plutonium, and that the “the isotope composition of the plutonium” was weapons-grade, meaning enough of it would be suitable for use in a nuclear weapon.

        1. You cannot mine plutonium

        2. any plutonium is weapons grade

        3. They likely found some rare plutonium atoms in a pile of uranium and thorium.

      Essentially it happened the instant they were attacked. It’s almost as though most of our stuff is just defended by the threat of violence and not any actual defenses like anti missile emplacements or anything. Not even like a guy with a gun to shoot the slow dummy drones.
