These outcomes are neither likely nor desirable. But the US, for its own self-interests and for the interests of peace, should withdraw its support for the Saudi war on Yemen and withhold military sales. Both are appropriate exercises of legitimate leverage the US has over the kingdom, and both could potentially contain MBS' worst impulses. J.

They are all burnable and you just keep cycling them through the reactor until they fission and they become something else. <br /><br />The only thing that ever needs to be extracted is fission products and only some of them and not that often. The fission products that need to come out can be chemically extracted in one step. This is the waste stream and it has a pretty short half-life.

As long as there is no resultant waste because waste is used in the process (not knowing what the next batch of byproducts of this process would be). <br /><br />America First should mean working to get off of fossil fuel dependence so we don't have to get caught up in more "oil and realpolitik" situations.
