Donald Trump has claimed the US possesses “advanced” nuclear-powered cruise missiles, in a suggestion rapidly dismissed by experts.
As funerals were held for five Russian nuclear engineers killed in a rocket test last week the American president said his administration was “learning much” from the accident, believed to be linked to a nuclear-powered weapon announced by the Kremlin last spring.
He tweeted: “The United States is learning much from the failed missile explosion in Russia. We have similar, though more advanced, technology. The Russian ‘Skyfall’ explosion has people worried about the air around the facility, and far beyond. Not good!”

MSgt Steve Sweeney - You know, Sergeant, I really do try to see things from the point of view of liberals like you, however, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get my head that far up my ass. Must be the reason for your shitty outlook.

COL Jean (John) F. B. - Oh yeah, I can tell you really go out of your way to see things from a different perspective. The term "Liberal idiots" was a clear indicator. I would not sell yourself short on your ability to get your head up your ass. Perhaps you have just become accustomed to it from maintaining the position so long. A fish doesn't know he is in the water.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Oh, believe me, I see things from many perspectives... I am just pretty adept at identifying bullshit and idiots.
As you said, or alluded to, in an earlier comment, “if the shoe fits”
Actually, haven’t you heard the old tale that, once you make field grade officer, you get a window placed in your abdomen, so you can see where you are going with your head up your ass? Mine works pretty well...

If we did have something similar, Trump just exposed classified information. Just saying.

SGT (Join to see) - I wasn't aware conceding an argument was petty. Perhaps you confuse sarcasm and pettiness. I will afford you the benefit of the doubt.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - For sure. So what you’re stating is you actually can’t explain how the President’s comment exposed any classified information?
Thank you for clarifying.
Best of luck

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Hubris often leads to inaccurate statements and inability to back up those statements with facts.
As a result, inaccurate statements and inability to back up those statements with facts often lead to name calling.

There is nothing bizarre about the statement.
For those with any knowledge of the old Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Nuclear propulsion systems (i.e., nuclear rockets) have been around since the 1950s. At one point, nuclear rockets were the favored propulsion system for the newly emerging space exploration program (even predating NASA), and were even being considered for powering our SAC bomber fleets. Imagine bombers that don't need aerial refueling, and which could loiter (like submarines) for weeks on end in strategic orbit around your enemy.
One AEC designed system, intended for space exploration, would use successive, scaled, directionally shaped, nuclear explosions to propel a rocket into space and on deep space exploration missions.
And for those who still need convincing, I would suggest you research the NASA Cassini mission, and look into what is powering the spacecraft. Here's a hint. Its nuclear.
This is very OLD technology.
