“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Story for Today . . .

OMG!

President Trump departs after speaking at his Mar-a-Lago club on Monday in Palm Beach, Fla.

WASHINGTON — President Trump has announced a bold plan for the Navy to build a new, large warship that he is calling a “battleship” as part of a larger vision to create a “Golden Fleet.”

LAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .

There are so many wild, crazy, and inhumane issues going on in the nuclear world these days that I decided to not pick a lead story today — and leave the world gone crazy about “everything nuclear and otherwise” up to you, the reader, today. . . .

Putin is fighting an illegal war — attacking Ukraine civilians’ (including children’s lives by trying to starve or freeze them to death in the cold and dark in 8 districts of Ukraine . . .

D.o.n.a.l.d T.r.u.m.p. plans to build a “Golden Battleship” to add to his “golden fleet” of warships for reasons, I guess, that would impress Venezuelan “drug cartels” so much they wouldn’t mind being blown to bits — even if they had nothing to do with drug running at all . . .

Japan is about ready to restart part of the Fukushima nuclear reactor system, perhaps to see if they can go through once again what they went through 15 years ago . . .

A geological fault has damaged a nuclear reactor in Sweden . . . forcing it offline at least overnight, but probably much longer . . .

Putin is threatening NATO with nuclear war — still, and again, and non-stop . . .

And unmentioned, PG&E, the teetering government supported company that owns the last commercial nuclear power plant at Devil’s Canyon on Avila Beach in California near San Luis Obispo seems to have shut down most of San Francisco with a huge explosion and fire “just fore Christmas” . . .

Stay tuned! ~llaw
