Russia has been noncompliant for decades. Obama hid the confirming intel from Congress for years, until they wanted to look tough for the Iran nuclear deal. About time. Putin needs a jerk on his chain. Besides, why comply with a treaty unilaterally when others (China) are not signatories and are developing INF missiles?

This treaty was irrelevant a decade ago.

I am very confused on this. I though Trump works for Putin, so why would he dare yank the chain of his master? Very odd.
Of course it does get the old naugin a joggin, maybe this is exactly what Putin wants so he can increase his arsenal.

Of course it may be that Trump is so crazy and evil that he just wants war with Russia, however again this is at odds with the whole working for Putin thing.

Dam this is odd, I just can not get my head around this.

Read up a little to lessen your confusion. Putin has been "increasing his arsenal" for decades now, with nary a peep from GW or Obama. He needs to be called on it. And if you truly believe Trump "works for Putin" you desperately need some true information for a change.

I think he was being sarcastic. The BS story of Trump and Putin and Russia that we don't hear about anymore. One could argue that story backfired.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
