Could a Rogue Billionaire Make a Nuclear Weapon?
A decade ago, the Pentagon paid a team of experts to study the possibility of an entrepreneur or private company building and selling bombs. Their worrisome conclusions are even more relevant today.
We have Russia, China and maybe Iran to deal in terms of nuclear weapons. Now imagine guys like Musk, Bezos
and Mark Cuban with them? Not going to fund Tesla....well we shall see about that.
"Entrepreneurs like Musk are able to build on the massive government investments in rockets and nuclear technology, rather than starting from scratch. The study, Jenkins said, was intended to see what might happen when the barrier to entry to developing military systems is so much lower."
Nice, maybe Musk can actually get some pits built.

So the traitor Tucker Carlson is in Moscow to interview Putin about the Ukraine war. Must will let this interview on his platform. What is the world coming to?
We must beat Putin at all cost!!!
Seriously I am having a hard time figuring out why we should about Ukraine. I have never been given an actual reason that makes sense. Sure Putin is evil, good people need to stop him, invading another country is bad. I have never meet an intelligent person who buys this. No on on this blog as given a good reason.
To be clear I think a argument can be made for trying to hurt Russia, and I think this is the reason. It is simply about expanding American power and influence, or the Wests power and influence. If we can topple Russia we will have more control and more say, put in pro West government, cheaper oil, more ways to put US business in the Russia, take and potential ally way from China. One less nation with nukes that is not on the US side and so on. These are fine reasons if you think about it terms of geopolitics, but I never hear anyone make arguments like this. It is always good vs bad and the usual nonsense. My argument for defeating Russia is not a moral argument it is geopolitical one that gives a possible edge to the US. I can go along with that. Of course I am against a nation invading and destroying another nation and think that is wrong, except when the US invades Iraq and Afghanistan.
What are the crime statistics for billionaires? I bet pretty low. It turns out, if you have that much money, there is a far safer way to get what you want: bribes. Musk and Bezos don't need to build their own nuke when they own all of Congress and the platforms of news and information.
