In response to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, former House Speaker New Gingrich calls for a “dozen thermonuclear detonations” to create “a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks.”

Oh my god, is there a contest among the republicans for who can invent the new dumbest idea?

@alienghic @newsguyusa What if we sent the hurricane in with the nuke, and then it destroyed the hurricane AND made a canal? Would that work?

What if instead of destroying your hurricane you make it angrier with all the nukes and the burning oil and you get a hypercane instead.

The oceans would have to heat up quite a bit more before that can happen.

But maybe if Rosneft, Aramco, and Exxon Mobil try really hard we can hit those 50 C/122 F sea temperatures needed to support a hypercane.

Also death to the oil & gas industry.
