Unless the Trump administration chooses to renew the compensation program former nuclear weapons employees who are hoping to receive assistance with their medical payments will no longer have the opportunity.
Really stress-testing my ability to empathize here
Oh no!
Anyways
- fuck cancer
- fuck trump
- fuck people who supported trump

Damn you mean I spent my career giving madmen the ability to exterminate humanity with impunity and now the madmen decided I won’t get easy access to medical care?
I don’t think using nukes would exactly be with impunity.
Oh I meant the impunity that being a nuclear power has given the US to exterminate humanity since WWII, a project it has carried out more or less continuously since they first got and used nuclear weapons on civilians.
The US would be a military and economic superpower with or without nukes. The only reason nukes matter is because other countries have them. If you think the world would be better off if Russia were in dominance, then you are shockingly uninformed.
Other people need nukes because the US has them and demonstrated that it is willing to use them on civilians. Other countries have nuclear arsenals because that’s the only way to stop yanks from going
and mounting a campaign that kills a million people or more in their region. Building nuclear weapons for the American military is objectively bad for the world. I didn’t say anything about Russia.Confirmed. You are shockingly misinformed.
Lol okay, don’t dispute any of it that’s fine, guess they didn’t nuke civilians.
What’s the point? You are not misinformed because you don’t have access to the correct information, you are misinformed because you choose to be myopic because you think that makes you edgy or clever.
Yeah,the US nuked civilians. Name a large country that doesn’t have mass civilian casualties in it’s past. You’ll have to explain to me how flattening a city with a nuke instead of a thousand conventional bombs is morally different. If you really want to put the US in a bad light you should mention that the US did a hell of a lot more damage to Japanese cities with conventional bombs than nukes. That doesn’t work though, since pretty much every country has done something like that. You might also want to consider that the question of whether Japan actually had non-combatants is debatable. When the US took smaller Japanese islands, “civilians” fought to the last, committed suicide, or were killed by their parents if they were too young to fight.
Things look a lot different when you’re not cherry picking history. The idea that no other country would have developed nukes if not for the US is entirely absurd.
There’s the immediate imperial justification where you have to pretend everyone else is as bloodthirsty as us to protect your emotional attachment to the most demonstrably evil country in history. “If we didn’t do it, someone else would.”
You know you don’t have to do that, right? You don’t have to lie to yourself and us that everyone else would also gleefully incinerate cities full of civillians? You can face up to what we live inside and stop making excuses for the country currently helping carry out a genocide. If the USSR had invented nukes first, the world would absolutely be a better place and it’s not even close.
You gotta give up the addiction to having a foreign enemy to blame for the state of the world. America spent the last 75 years dictating terms to the rest of humanity uncontested, and all the crises we’re currently experiencing are the result of it getting exactly what it wanted.
Are you unaware of Russia’s imperial actions against its neighbors?
Are you unaware of what the words “empire, imperial, and imperialist” mean? Because it’s not “when military force”. Bonus question: why is the Russian Federation (a different country from the USSR, which I am talking about) in Ukraine? And finally, do you somehow think that even the most outlandish stories about the RF hold a candle to our own American evil, in either scale or depravity? Do you think an actual empire currently helping carry out a genocide and disappearing activists is a trustworthy source about it’s geopolitical rivals? Are you old enough to remember the Iraq war?
