The utter lunacy of the USA’s foreign policy pretensions can be seen by the fact that the USA still has no ability to enrich uranium.
But don’t worry, they’re working on it!
General Matter is a nuclear enrichment startup, which means once its enrichment facility is up and running in Paducah it will be producing fuel for nuclear power plants, including the classic giants cooked up in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as the sexy sleeker modern microreactors and small modular reactors (SMRs).
In the meantime, I suppose we could just buy some from Iran. It’s a good thing that whole “totally destroying Iran’s nuclear infrastructure” thing was nothing more than an expensive sound-and-light show.
If it wasn’t already clear to you before, then it should be now that there is absolutely no way the USA is in any position to fight a war with either Russia or China. Free trade theory has entirely hollowed out not only its industrial infrastructure, but its military power as well.
