Let me tell you about an #AtomicAge monstrosity

#ProjectPluto

It wasn't a #nuclear #missile, it was a nuclear *powered* missile. So it could fly almost forever

Do you see the teensy tiny problem?

The fucking thing constantly spewed nuclear #radiation

🤦

Luckily canceled

Constantly irradiating the atmosphere might be slightly bad huh?

Glad to put that in the dustbin of history

Right?

"Russia tested new nuclear-powered #Burevestnik cruise missile"

Fucking #Russia

@benroyce that’s the kind of dirty weapon I’m pretty sure is already banned by the Geneva convention or something, but then again Putin is also technically a wanted man globally but no one has arrested him yet even though he’s been traveling here and there.

I remember as a kid believing in international law and order but I guess that was never a thing. I’d ask for a refund but I’m not entirely sure how that would even work yet or who I need to make my case to.

@taxet

We're leaving the era of international norms (which was always flouted anyways) and entering the era of "I can do anything I want, who cares who I hurt LOL"

😒
