| 2022-04-16 |
| [BBC] It’s an unthinkable idea. Is it possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin would use nuclear weapons as part of the Ukrainian conflict? In this political documentary on BBC Select, esteemed British broadcaster Jon Snow explores the chances of this kind of escalation as the Russian strategic nuclear force is put on high alert. If Putin went nuclear, what would be the consequences for the world? NYT - C.I.A.

| #12 Simple Faraday container In my case, I use an all Metal Medium size Trash Can with a Rubber sealant sprayed several coats thick (flex-seal) in the interior. Used an Exterior Strap to insure a tight seal. Grounded using a Car Jumper cable to a grounding rod. Tested it by placing my cell phone in it and tried calling it. The cell phone never rang. Place a AM/FM Battery power radio in it, turned the volume full up and sealed ....No Sound. Either I have built a soundproof enclosure, or I may have hit on a simple Faraday container with everything purchased at Wally World for under $50. |

| #10 Golly gosh, indeed! Now we know that if a nuke does go off, it was that rat bastard Putin and not a false flag op because all those people warned us about it. Top. People. So we are now in the uncomfortable position of having to trust Joe Biden and his handlers not to push Putin so hard that he feels he has no other option. Would this be the same Team Brandon that pushed Putin into thinking he had no better option than to invade Ukraine? I wonder which little hamlet Zelensky would give up to add some more drama to his movie. |

| #3 I think if there's any nuke usage, it will be an excuse our gummint will seize upon to shut down the intertubes, newspapers (except those directly distributed by the gummint) and broadcast news. Most proles will get their information from trucks with loudspeakers that will circulate the neighborhoods. |
