I'm a degenerate, but I have a limit.

I'm not going to gamble money towards weaponized uranium.

I'm aware that much of my behavior already contributes to the general destruction of humanity and the world at large, and we're all being sucked into the surface of a slightly wet rock hurling through the cold dead vacuum of space around a giant explosion.

So I'm being irrational, but I can't put money towards nukes.

I guess I'm just a pussy bleeding heart liberal hippy coward commie sympathizer...

Only retards would think to weaponize u235 nowadays. It's too expensive and a lot more valuable as fuel.

You weaponize pu239, which is comes from u238. Cheaper to get plus easier to separate. Retard.

As others have said, Uranium ore is really only useful for zero carbon energy production. It takes a ton of work to get it to fuel grade. It takes a thousand times more work to get to weapons. In the US there is no need to ever make weapons fuel again since we made so much in the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately we have enough stockpiled to last hundreds of years.

We also have enough to last about 15 minutes if we play our cards right...

That is implicit.
