And what’s going on here, folks? The Trump administration, in all its infinite wisdom, decided to fire over 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) – the agency responsible for managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile. I mean, who needs people overseeing the nuclear weapons that could potentially destroy humanity, right? But, of course, they didn’t really know what the NNSA did (because, you know, it’s not like it’s a critical agency or anything). You can check out the NNSA’s mission and responsibilities on their official website: https://www.energy.gov/nnsa.
They were all, “Hey, let’s fire some people, it’ll be fun!” And then, on Friday morning, they were all, “Wait, what did we just do?!” And so, they began rescinding the terminations – because, you know, it’s not like they had a plan or anything. I guess it’s good that they realized their mistake, but still, what were they thinking? You can read more about the NNSA’s role in maintaining the nation’s nuclear security on the Department of Defense website.
But, (and I’m just asking here), what kind of craziness is this? I mean, are they trying to create some kind of nuclear chaos? Did they not learn about the importance of nuclear security in school? It’s like they’re playing a game of Jenga with the nation’s nuclear stockpile – except, you know, it’s not a game. You can check out the latest books on nuclear security to learn more about this critical topic.
And, by the way, have you seen that picture of the Y-12 National Security Complex? It’s like something out of a sci-fi movie. But, in all seriousness, this is some crazy stuff. I mean, the NNSA has a total of 1800 staff at facilities around the country – and they just fired a bunch of them. What’s next? You can learn more about the Y-12 National Security Complex and its role in the nation’s nuclear security.
And let’s talk about the Energy Department’s spokesperson, who said that the agency will continue its critical mission of protecting our national security and nuclear deterrence. Yeah, sure, because firing a bunch of people who oversee the nation’s nuclear stockpile is definitely going to help with that. You can read more about the Energy Department’s mission and responsibilities on their official website. By the way, if you’re looking for some reading material on this topic, you can check out books on nuclear deterrence on Amazon.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that this whole thing is just a big mess. But, (on a completely unrelated note), have you tried that new coffee shop downtown? I heard their coffee is out of this world. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. You can also check out Brookings Institution for more information on nuclear security and policy. And, if you’re interested in learning more about the US Department of State’s role in nuclear nonproliferation, you can visit their website.
