Nuclear proliferation

Let me understand this: Saudis violate human rights openly. Their foreign workers are slaves. They still consider Christian and Jews as their enemy.
They destroyed Yemen etccc
Now, they get nuclear weaponry?
Is that against the non-proliferation policy?
The Trump administration is dangerous to our security and world peace.
Perry is definitely incompetent!

Just to be clear, the article is about nuclear power (electricity generating), not nuclear weapons. I realize the two are not inseparable but neither are they the same thing. I'm not expressing an opinion about the Saudis or about providing them with nuclear power technology.

Regardless of what is said about the Saudis and Trump, we ought to be clear-eyed about the situation. If Iran obtains nuclear weapons, I would be willing to bet every dollar I have that, one way or another, the Saudis would soon possess nuclear weapons as well.

I agree that underneath the noise Saudi's do not like Jews and Christians.

However when Trump visited and to see Ivanka and Jared warmly greeted
is not a bad thing since they are both Jewish and their children as well,
despite lying Media saying Trump is anti-semitic hahaha, good one.

Also with Bibi having meetings with Saudis there might be the first Israeli airliner landing in S.A.
Of course all of this allying is because of all of our common enemy, Iran and might be superficial.

On a different matter,
China is MOSTLY afraid of Japan/S. Korea nuclear weapons
some day more than anything else.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
