I always wondered how all the previous world powers fell to ruin and now unfortunately I think I’m going to get to watch it first hand.
Things aren’t bad, if we don’t tell you.
So our enemies can use the information that used to be available to detect our weaknesses, but stating that we have to stop publishing the information will make them think everything is suddenly top notch.
Here’s an idea - how about doing what it takes to get a passing grade on every test so that we can truthfully say it’s all safe, even if it means not giving more tax cuts to billionaires who already pay little or no income taxes.
The only nuclear security I’m worried about is the raving lunatic who has the launch codes.
And I’m not talking about Kim Jung-un…
it helps ensure that “as long as nuclear weapons exist, the U.S. will maintain a safe, secure, and effective nuclear stockpile
Democracy dies in darkness, but the world could die in bright flashes if those securing our nuclear weapons are not held accountable.
This is the kind of thing Congress should address immediately. They don’t need to insist that the pass/fail grade remain public, though they should, but we ought to be able to hear both chairs of each relevant committee say whether or not they found the overall report card to be “satisfactory” or “concerning.”
Truly. Take some pride in the work. It kinda matters – a lot more than what somebody said about you on some morning talk show.
“I think the new policy fails to distinguish between protecting valid secrets and shielding incompetence.”
Under the leadership of Rick “Goodhair” Perry, whose Department of Energy is in charge of securing the weapons, incompetence will likely be impossible to discern. Indeed, his method of insuring safety and competence will be to make everybody wear “smart glasses.”
