We put this man in charge of one of our branches of government. Let that sink in.
Eww.
I had to check and this dipshit is still alive.
Can we not have anything nice around here?
just a couple of nuclear detonations!
Tell me your mentally removed without saying the words
Tell me you have no idea about nuclear bombs, not the radiation, not the capabilities, nothing, without saying those words
Tell me you're the dumbest fuck in class without saying the words
This can't be a real tweet, right?
Maybe he read the Arthur C. Clarke book where they used a super computer to figure out where to detonate nukes underground along fault lines to prevent a mega earthquake?
Doesn't seem the reading type.
Look, I don't like every view he holds, but he works across the aisle.
Technically, this would be nuking the UAE and Yemen
Somebody ate too much Lead
I was gonna say. This idea has been floating around for decades.
Bottom line: Yes it will work. It will also involve transporting nuclear warheads to another country, which probably violates all kinds of treaties and will set governments everywhere into a panic of epic proportions. The knock-on effects of nuclear contamination will be a problem for the local population, local water table, and local ocean currents. You can bet your bottom-dollar that these, and possibly more, problems will be shouldered solely by the soon-to-be-god-forsaken masses of whatever country eventually okays this idea.
Well, modern nukes aren't as bad for contamination as the originals, since they only need enough fissile material to kick start the fusion reaction. The biggest issue is they don't actually save you any time for the extravagant cost they add. You would still have to do manual construction and excavation along the whole length with the added complication of now having to deal with what contamination does still exist.
No need for transport, they're already in a certain country known for refusing to sign the nonproliferation treaty
So Newt is calling for nuclear bombs to be detonated in Israel?
It's satire. Gingrich didn't even write the OG article...
As funny as I find that article to be. The problem is that satire is reality most of the time these days. Even an idea as obviously dumb as this could actually be coming out of the white house.
Tell Newt to Google Nuclear winter.
Tell him to gobble broken glass.
Oh god they are trying to do Plowshare 2.0.
I thought this motherfucker was dead.
I mean it's such a braindead take that he might as well be
Is newt Gingrich even still alive
Edit: holy shit he actually tweeted that. It was so outlandish I just assumed it was fake.
Same
"Yes, we're irradiated now, but gas is under $3/gal."
Well it would be Dubai and the Saudis that would be irradiated. They should be fine with it right?

It's gotta be lead.... Right? Right?!
Absolutely has to be lead poisoning. We need to get these insane fuckers tested for it and have them committed if it shows in their system. That may be exactly what is needed and how to "peacefully" get these weird fuckers to retire.
Don’t worry, they want/plan to put lead back into fuel so it affects an entire new generation
Nah. They can't, they would get automatic lawsuits. Leaded gas is not only banned in the US, but globally. It has one exception right now and that is usage in piston engine aircraft. Even classic cars and classic tractors have to convert.
And when is some international or domestic law stopped them?
It happens all the time. If you make an engine that runs on leaded gas you will get fined. They are banned. Even classic cars must be converted. The only exception are old piston engine airplanes ... and those get banned in 2030.
Safe? Lol
What a goddamned fucking idiot.
How much you wanna bet he called Trump and personally made this fucking deranged suggestion to him?
It's not. This has been proposed multiple times throughout history. The U.S. program, named Project Plowshare, was active from the late 1950s to the 1970s and explored various peaceful applications for nuclear explosives. It was built on ideas from older, British and German plans. The Russians also had their own plans. This is not a new idea.

For those who don't know about it, Project Plowshare was a cold war project where the US investigating the use of nuclear weapons for geo engineering projects.
Here is a WTYP Podcast episode about it:
