Is this… actually Newt? Honestly can’t tell would appreciate clarification
Isn’t Newt dead?
Fuck. No, not yet

I too want to know if project plowshare is back on the menu
Is newt Gingrich even still alive
Well, I guess if negotiating in good faith with the people who neighbor it is off the table, then… Nope that’s still fucking idiotic.
I’ve stopped asking if people are this stupid, because yes, they are.
But, I think this is more about sowing fear, than a serious suggestion.
I keep trying to persuade myself, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, that people are not this stupid. But, it doesn’t work.
Oh man… I hate to blow your bubble, but that guy is just repeating something that was under serious consideration about 50 years ago.
He probably just remembers the proposals, and not the problems people found in it.
There’s no way this is real.
god fucking damnit
For those who don’t know about it, Project Plowshare was a cold war project where the US investigating the use of nuclear weapons for geo engineering projects.
Here is a WTYP Podcast episode about it:
Or perhaps, stop bombing the people that control the strait.
“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.
You mean my cars get free nuke juice? Why aren’t we doing this again?
Not irradiated! It’s been treated with Shell Atomic Boost!
Just look for the glowing pump.
fuck them saudis and their sportswashing
Well, not Americans, but brown people halfway across the world would be. But they’re not people to Americans so who cares.
Less than that. They’d have to sell this particular gas at a discount, considering it would be radioactive after making this detour.
Nah, both carbon and hydrogen can absorb neutrons just fine,
The transported good would not be radioactive after the journey, though I can’t say the same for the vessel
How bad would the radiation actually be?
How bad can it possibly be? It’s only being held apart by a screwdriver
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.
That’s a bonus, in their view.
Hey, I’m all for nuking Dubai. But free the slaves first so they can get away before the blast.
Still rather logistically difficult to convince the host country to nuke their major population centers.
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.
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.
Where, in OP’s post, does it claim this is a new idea?
Don’t a bunch of the Arab states make like extravagant man made islands and epic waterways? And they can’t find the resources to build this waterway through a couple mountains?
Unfortunately, it would still be in close proximity to Iran and well within attack distance, so it would be completely pointless.
So make it a tunnel!

Now, I know what the woke deep state is going to say, and I want to save you the trouble of listening to them.
“The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.
“The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.
“Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.
The views expressed above do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells.
This is hilarious. Heh.
I don’t buy Gingrich’s earnesty. He must be trolling too, like the article explicitly was. Most Republicans are doing it on Twitter now, and that would fit Gingrich’s history, too.
…And it kinda worked. It looks like Lemmy swallowed the hook here, and I’m sure Twitter did too.
