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
He’s not wrong. He’s just an idiot.
We put this man in charge of one of our branches of government. Let that sink in.
Look, I don’t like every view he holds, but he works across the aisle.
Technically, this would be nuking the UAE and Yemen
antiwoke, or asleep as I like to call them
Comatose
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.
Neocons doing material analysis.
Eww.
I had to check and this dipshit is still alive.
Can we not have anything nice around here?
Stupid but manipulative liars.
Somebody ate too much Lead
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.
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
So Newt is calling for nuclear bombs to be detonated in Israel?
“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.
The Americans actually tried that with some gas reserves, and as expected nuclear fracking increased yields, but radioactive gas.
So they’re the only country who has nukes themselves for economic reasons…
the only country who has nuked themselves for economic reasons
Unless you count sealing gas field blowouts, which was apparently done five times and one time for methane blowout, and lots of other test explosions like geological exploration.
Are those economic reasons? Or disaster management?
39 explosions for geological exploration (trying to find new natural gas deposits by studying seismic waves produced by small nuclear explosions)
25 explosions to intensify oil and gas debits
22 explosions to create underground storage for natural gas
Does this sound like disaster management?
Sorry I should’ve read the second link too, my bad…
You mean my cars get free nuke juice? Why aren’t we doing this again?
That would guarantee a bright future for Dubai
fuck them saudis and their sportswashing
The
geiger counterDow will be over 50,000!Less than that. They’d have to sell this particular gas at a discount, considering it would be radioactive after making this detour.
You’re forgetting the power of marketing. Call it “Atomic Premium”, claim it’s formulated specifically for giant trucks with fake balls attached to the hitch, get a few hick-hop artists to name drop it in songs about cruising down red dirt roads, and run a meme campaign implying only woke blue-haired lib trannies with nose rings oppose irradiated gas. They’d drink it if they thought doing so would “own the libs”.
The transported good would not be radioactive after the journey, though I can’t say the same for the vessel
Nah, both carbon and hydrogen can absorb neutrons just fine,
Well, not Americans, but brown people halfway across the world would be. But they’re not people to Americans so who cares.
How bad would the radiation actually be?
How bad can it possibly be? It’s only being held apart by a screwdriver
Is newt Gingrich even still alive
Edit: holy shit he actually tweeted that. It was so outlandish I just assumed it was fake.
Same
