Who Needs More Pits ???

According to this report, the US is ramping up production of plutonium 'pits' for nuclear weapons:

I once interviewed for a job at the Rocky Flats Plant near Denver, which used to make such pits. Didn't get the job, which in the long run was probably a good thing. Plutonium is nasty stuff.

I did the research for my MSc degree at the Savannah River Laboratory, and I also worked there for a while in a post grad position. Didn't accomplish much except to generate more nuclear waste. The new pit program will do a lot of that, and if you recall ... the nation's high level waste disposal programs are non-functioning. There is no repository, and the facilities to process the waste are defunct (as far as I know).

All the BS about Russia and China being the reason for this flurry of activity is ridiculous. In reality, both countries were just going about their business as sovereign nation-states when the US decided to threaten them militarily. Why? Because we can't compete on a level playing field, and TPTB in the West are worried they'll lose their power and privilege if the OBOR/BRICS+ initiatives gain traction. The only 'solution' they can find for every problem is to threaten and attack.

By the way, it almost doesn't matter who the next US President is. This nonsense will continue. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. may make a lot of noise about dismantling the MIC, but such a thing would be a multi-year project. He'd be lucky to get much done even if he's elected to two terms.

Of course, when Israel decides to use their nukes, all bets are off. And I would be AMAZED if they don't. In my opinion they are a MUCH greater threat than Russia and China combined.
