"Yes, we're irradiated now, but gas is under $3/gal."
Well it would be Dubai and the Saudis that would be irradiated. They should be fine with it right?
the gas would likely be irradiated too. I heard of an early proposal to detonate nukes deep underground in the tar sands to bring the oil to the top, theoretically it would work but radioactive oil.
Not irradiated! It's been treated with Shell Atomic Boost!
Just look for the glowing pump.
This is the talent McDonald's marketing needs.
You mean my cars get free nuke juice? Why aren’t we doing this again?
fuck them saudis and their sportswashing
That would guarantee a bright future for Dubai
The ~~geiger counter~~ Dow will be over 50,000!
Well, not Americans, but brown people halfway across the world would be. But they're not people to Americans so who cares.
Is newt Gingrich even still alive
Edit: holy shit he actually tweeted that. It was so outlandish I just assumed it was fake.
It's not. This has been proposed multiple times throughout history. The U.S. program, named Project Plowshare, was active from the late 1950s to the 1970s and explored various peaceful applications for nuclear explosives. It was built on ideas from older, British and German plans. The Russians also had their own plans. This is not a new idea.
Newt is not a new man
Newman!
Look, I don't like every view he holds, but he works across the aisle.
Technically, this would be nuking the UAE and Yemen
What a goddamned fucking idiot.
How much you wanna bet he called Trump and personally made this fucking deranged suggestion to him?
We put this man in charge of one of our branches of government. Let that sink in.
I thought this motherfucker was dead.
I mean it's such a braindead take that he might as well be
Is this... actually Newt? Honestly can't tell would appreciate clarification
I too want to know if project plowshare is back on the menu
It's gotta be lead.... Right? Right?!
Absolutely has to be lead poisoning. We need to get these insane fuckers tested for it and have them committed if it shows in their system. That may be exactly what is needed and how to "peacefully" get these weird fuckers to retire.
antiwoke, or asleep as I like to call them
Comatose
Oh god they are trying to do Plowshare 2.0.
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.
Neocons doing material analysis.
Eww.
I had to check and this dipshit is still alive.
Can we not have anything nice around here?
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
The biggest surprise for me is that he is still alive
Omg, I absolutely love the idea of fuel exhaust that’s even more radioactive than it already is. I just love it so much I could die.
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.
Has he ever looked at a map? The only way I could see this happening is by going through the most populated parts of UAE.
