What is the issue? You must not have been paying attention in your history class. World politics is like chess board, in which we move pieces to advance a cause. Sometimes the Taliban is our friends sometimes they are our enemy. Sometimes we do business with our enemies when there is mutual benefit just the way it has always been. You do know that we really do not care about Ukraine we care about defeating Russia and getting their stuff.

You are wrong, Russia doesn't have any "stuff" the US needs. They are a poor, third-world country except for the nukes. Kinda like Pakistan.

Hmm, this is beyond wrong for so many reasons it is funny. I would just say go look at a globe, look hard and think hard... the rest will be obvious. If that does not work come back to the blog, or simply accept that you are not the kind of person who can really have any understating of the world.

So no real argument, just disparagement. Typical. What are you, 12 years old? Your "understanding of the world" is awesome.

Yup. We buy enriched uranium from the Russians because the U.S. and its politicians are a bunch of NIMBYs.

Fun fact: the US is sending tens of billions worth of equipment to Ukraine just so that Russia can blow it up.

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!
