That's not a solution. A solution is something you can actually do.

They can restart them and/or build new ones. Fission isn't some lost technology like Greek fire or Damascus steel.

Damascus steel…isn’t a lost technology.

Are you willing to share where you heard that?

"Trump started the war in Iran to make green energy and EVs more desirable" is an actual conspiracy theory that is going around, although, ya, definitely an unintended consequence.

Given how the previous conspiracy theories turned out we really needed some unconfirmed ones, thanks.

Google's memetic division (~100k employees) is A/B testing AI generated memes as part of their market manipulation (step 3: profit).

The A/B tests include low-effect control memes: as null-tests or for exposing information flow.

So you should get more unconfirmed theories in your social media.

BTW: which Oracle do you use to confirm your conspiracies?

A terrible idea, you think the Russians are going to appreciate you killing their leader? A better idea is to try to get Russia to join the EU and use an open market to exert control over the more extreme behaviors and tendencies in Russia.

> A terrible idea, you think the Russians are going to appreciate you killing their leader? As a Russian? Absolutely yes. We had a dry run 3 years ago, during Prigozhin's mutiny.

Putin is very popular in Russia. As a Russian you have to be aware of that right? As for Prigozhin what happened to him? I didn't see a lot of mourning or protests when he got knocked off. Propaganda in the US likes to focus on the idea that politicians and leaders in other countries are not very popular and your comment doesn't really help that. The reality as you well know is that Putin has a strong base in Russia among Russians.
