The biggest surprise for me is that he is still alive
He’s not wrong. He’s just an idiot.
The key here is that you have to personally supervise the first explosion real close up to make sure the channels are correct. I had chatgpt design a special hard hard for you Mr Gangrinhch, so it’s got mondo safety parameters to keep you fit as a whistle
We put this man in charge of one of our branches of government. Let that sink in.
Eww.
I had to check and this dipshit is still alive.
Can we not have anything nice around here?
antiwoke, or asleep as I like to call them
Comatose
Neocons doing material analysis.
Somebody ate too much Lead
just a couple of nuclear detonations!
Tell me your mentally removed without saying the words
Tell me you have no idea about nuclear bombs, not the radiation, not the capabilities, nothing, without saying those words
Tell me you’re the dumbest fuck in class without saying the words
This can’t be a real tweet, right?
Maybe he read the Arthur C. Clarke book where they used a super computer to figure out where to detonate nukes underground along fault lines to prevent a mega earthquake?
Doesn’t seem the reading type.
So Newt is calling for nuclear bombs to be detonated in Israel?
I was gonna say. This idea has been floating around for decades.
Bottom line: Yes it will work. It will also involve transporting nuclear warheads to another country, which probably violates all kinds of treaties and will set governments everywhere into a panic of epic proportions. The knock-on effects of nuclear contamination will be a problem for the local population, local water table, and local ocean currents. You can bet your bottom-dollar that these, and possibly more, problems will be shouldered solely by the soon-to-be-god-forsaken masses of whatever country eventually okays this idea.
Well, modern nukes aren’t as bad for contamination as the originals, since they only need enough fissile material to kick start the fusion reaction. The biggest issue is they don’t actually save you any time for the extravagant cost they add. You would still have to do manual construction and excavation along the whole length with the added complication of now having to deal with what contamination does still exist.
No need for transport, they’re already in a certain country known for refusing to sign the nonproliferation treaty
It’s satire. Gingrich didn’t even write the OG article…
It’s satire, but newt ate the onion. And when does, he passes it around saying, “Delicious. Want a taste?”
As funny as I find that article to be. The problem is that satire is reality most of the time these days. Even an idea as obviously dumb as this could actually be coming out of the white house.
Tell Newt to Google Nuclear winter.
Tell him to gobble broken glass.
Look, I don’t like every view he holds, but he works across the aisle.
Technically, this would be nuking the UAE and Yemen
Oh god they are trying to do Plowshare 2.0.
