| 1638662703786119169 | Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of Reagan's Star Wars speech. It's been a dangerous, $330 Billion boondoggle. We're no closer to effective national missile defense now than we were then. We can intercept short-range systems, but not ICBMs. I reup @AtomicAnalyst's great thread https://t.co/FoHRAMECia | 39 |
| 1638667282632278016 | @AtomicAnalyst It’s was laughable at the time. Completely irresponsible and a gigantic gift to the defense industry. Of course it didn’t work. It was a fairytale | 1 |
| 1640729637343961088 | @AtomicAnalyst But on the bright side we gained another historical marker. https://t.co/Y1DcFW6h5E | 1 |

| 1638675128845475841 | @NUMBCat9 @Cirincione @DavidCornDC @AtomicAnalyst Seriously? It’s STILL $310B that could have actually been used elsewhere for good purposes. And trying to justify it by saying yeah well it’s still only a percentage of this or that’s messed up. | 0 |
| 1638676864612048896 | @Cirincione @DavidCornDC @AtomicAnalyst You EARNESTLY believe the US doesn’t have an effective national missile defense system? That’s seems pretty naive. | 0 |

| 1638766836950114304 | @Cirincione @AtomicAnalyst In response to Raygun's militaristic wet dream, Yoko Ono released an album called Starpeace. | 0 |
| 1638907759570583553 | @AtomicAnalyst I see Chester V. Clifton is with him. The warrant officer (perhaps Ira D. Gearhart who carried it in Dallas on 11/22/63) must have the Football somewhere nearby out of frame. | 0 |

| 1638190820636631041 | @AtomicAnalyst @ArmsControlWonk I thought the part where Trump looks out the window of AF1 at the mushroom cloud over Jupiter and calls it "beautiful" was absolutely believable. I agree, that's exactly what he would have done. | 10 |

| 1639069329734918144 | @AtomicAnalyst Might have been cheaper and had better results if they just planned to shoot gold bars at incoming missiles! | 7 |
| 1638910833756450816 | @AtomicAnalyst And "The Colonel" tells a bewigged Philip Jennings it is technically infeasible. https://t.co/2289dzmBx6 | 7 |
| 1638192020307976193 | @AtomicAnalyst @ArmsControlWonk I'm amazed we all survived the Trump presidency. | 5 |
| 1640383310042890243 | @jltk76 @AtomicAnalyst Curious about the source of the destruction of a B-36. If dropped from 35,000 ft, a surface burst wouldn't necessarily destroy the bomber (cf Castle tests). Crappy CEP from FL350, but at 13.5 Mt who cares. I think this image might be at fault... https://t.co/J2BwyaQko7 | 5 |
| 1638968636328275968 | @AtomicAnalyst Easy to criticise the cost of the SDI but the cost of trying to keep up brought the USSR to its knees and then yielded 30 secure years. An Unintended Consequence, and cheap too! | 3 |
| 1639762233604358144 | @AtomicAnalyst And what nuclear test detonation did the GET SMART producers use in this episode? https://t.co/Yf9LMtx00f | 2 |
| 1640127737108082690 | @DerekL1963 @AtomicAnalyst Think that’s a nose section of B57? https://t.co/uo1a5f4N4H | 2 |
