Russia warns of ‘new Cold War’ as Saudi Arabia and Turkey ‘threaten anti-ISIS ground offensive in Syria’
See, now, if the damnable KGB-backed anti-nuclear activists hadn’t succeeded in the 1970’s in their appointed task of ruining the American nuclear industry, right now we’d have a *lot* more nuclear powerplants. Bigger, more powerful, more efficient, more cost effective and safer plants. Probably not enough to replace the need for middle eastern oil, but it would have been enough to make a serious dent especially when you factor in sales of advanced reactors to Europe and Asia. And then… not only would forces of evil like ISIS and SA and Putin not have access to so much oil money… we wouldn’t need to *care* what’s going on in the middle east.
But, hey, 80’s nostalgia is back. Since the 80’s is where I spend my teens, I have a soft spot for that decade… but I could probably do without a return to Russians threatening to nuke the US off the map. Especially now that the US has fallen so far backwards in basic nuclear arsenal maintenance, nevermind developing and fielding new weapons.
