What a goddamned fucking idiot.
How much you wanna bet he called Trump and personally made this fucking deranged suggestion to him?
It’s gotta be lead… Right? Right?!
Is this… actually Newt? Honestly can’t tell would appreciate clarification
Isn’t Newt dead?
Fuck. No, not yet
In the 1970s, Gingrich was a professor of history and geography at the University of West Georgia.
🤦
Brain yes, mouth to ass, no.
TBF he was a professor. He probably has a good ability to form complex sentences and manipulate concepts.
He is also a Conservative, Christian ideologue who has been steeped in both those Faith-based cultures for decades.
The Faith-based community tends to ultimately drift away from the Reality-based one.

Yes, it is him and it is a real tweet.

I too want to know if project plowshare is back on the menu
I thought this motherfucker was dead.
I mean it’s such a braindead take that he might as well be
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.

Sounds increadibly expensive.
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.
This is the talent McDonald’s marketing needs.
fuck them saudis and their sportswashing
That would guarantee a bright future for Dubai
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
The
geiger counterDow will be over 50,000!
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.
There is a price between $10m/kg and $100m/kg that Iranians sell enriched uranium to US to satisfy US denuclearization aims, and Iran gets its reparations/reconstruction concession, and full trade access to the world. Of course Bibi will keep saying they are 2 weeks away from a weapon, but you have to fuck bibi.
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!
