New Nukes

Ever since the Soviet Union collapsed, I've read some authors bizarrely saying they missed the "simplicity" of the Cold War when we knew good from evil (and no, "we" didn't, because there is always "goodlife" ready to praise evil). They were fools. I never pined for that so-called "clarity". I really miss the end of history.

Sh*t got real

The US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has recently confirmed the successful production of the First Production Unit (FPU) of a plutonium pit for the W87-1 Modification Program.

The W87-1 warhead will replace the older W78 warhead, ensuring that the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) leg of the nuclear triad remains safe, secure, and effective.

So ICBM nuclear warhead production is being turned back on. 

The end of history is officially re-started.
