As I watched the Trident... |
|
submarine go by our place today (we see them all the time), it struck me that I'm more afraid of Dumbya and the US than I am of Kim and NK.
Sure, Kim is a whackjob and thinks he's Elvis, but he's maybe got a bomb. Dumbya thinks god put him in office, he's got delusions of grandeur that make Kim look tame, and * has maybe 10,000 warheads.
Kim is no friend of peace, but he hasn't fucked over anybody other than his own poor, miserable people. Dumbya... well... let's just say War Criminal and let it go at that.

1. One Trident = a thousand Hiroshimas. |
|
Can we even fathom what ONE hiroshima means?
One Trident sub can destroy 200 cities.
Time to abolish nuclear weapons. NOW.

that technology has been around for 60 years and used twice in war.
If there is a compelling reason for lil kim not to shoot his load toward japan it is that he knows that he will be hit with hundreds of weapons in response.
he is just rattling the collection plate. crazy bastard.

5. Near Puget sound....Hood Canal... |
|
...north end....the most beautiful spot on earth. Just about 20 miles north of Subbase Bangor and about 1,000 warheads.
Seeing those things in this beautiful setting is the most obscene thing I can imagine.

3. The ultimate tool of war. |
|
The best equipment and most elite personnel capable of sending a whole continent back to the stone age. Sobering to think the Commander in Chief is a man who hears voices telling him to start wars. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/10/10/EDG4PDMU7H1.DTL

6. 1,600 nuclear weapons are based 20 miles west of Seattle |
|
That’s right.
In Kitsap County, on beautiful Hood Canal, 20 miles west of Seattle, is one of the biggest concentrations of nuclear weapons in the world. It’s called Sub Base Bangor. And it is the base for 8 nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed Trident submarines. 20 miles west of Seattle.
If Kitsap County were its own country, it would be the world’s 3rd largest nuclear weapons power.
