US military fears Putin is planning to use a nuclear bomb in Kyiv and reveals he is working on new nuclear weapons that can BEAT Western defenses so he can 'inflict unacceptable damage on the West' DIA Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier revealed the concerns in a report Thursday The report on global threats noted that Putin would be likely to threaten use of nuclear weapons if Ukrainian defense forces continue to push back It's also believed that Putin intends to 'overturn the U.S.-led rules based post-Cold War international order' and reclaim former Soviet territories.The report also notes that Russia claims to be developing missiles that are capable of circumventing Western defenses It has already deployed non-nuclear weapons that come equipped with decoy projectiles, in a possible sign of what's to com

The news is reporting that Ukrainian intelligence is saying a specific Russian general is planing on poisoning Putin and taking over. Oddly enough this is one of the generals that is having some success in Ukraine. Well lets hope that the Russians don't catch on to this plan and it works.


Seriously the news is actually reporting this. Is there anyone on the newsroom who thinks before the post this stuff?

Ok Conspiracy theory time. This is one that I heard was even discussed by some serious political science types. It is that the big push by the west to bring down Russia is actually about China and not Russia. The problem with any kind of conflict with China is Russia.

Russia — 6,257 (1,458 active, 3039 available, 1,760 retired)
United States — 5,550 (1,389 active, 2,361 available, 1,800 retired)
China — 350 available (actively expanding nuclear arsenal)
France — 290 available
United Kingdom — 225 available
Pakistan — 165 available
India — 156 available
Israel — 90 available
North Korea — 40-50 available (estimated)

One theory is that the push to defeat Russia now is that Ukraine has offered us a golden opportunity to bring down Russia. If Russia falls and Putin is thrown out the west can come
in and size the Russia nukes.

That would mean it wold be the west with Russia against China. Many think the real fight with world dominance will be between China and the rest of the Western world. We cannot go to war with China right now because Russia will step in, however if Russia is out of the way than it is game on.

That would pit 4000 nukes against China having 350. China is rapidly trying to build more so the window is short. We need to defeat Russia so that we can than go to war with China in nuclear exchange before they get to many of them.

The argument also goes that we have some anti-missile capabilities and only a small number of Chinas nukes would get to us, but if we lob 1k at them they simply cannot stop that many.

After this the world becomes one and Musk takes over and we go to Mars.

Ok it is bit far fetched but a number of people have said that stopping Russia or having them fall apart would be a huge advantage to the West in light of a China that is becoming heavily armed. In other words the Ukrainian situation has has huge opportunities and never let a good crisis go to waste.

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!
