Little did the Russians suspect that the amero-fascist regime was just a distraction while the Canadians took them over from within.

Petition to get Bibi done in for war crimes when he visits Britonistan

Oy vey

[Frumple]

... will be interesting to see what the gov's response is, especially if/when it hits the 100k mark. Do remind the thread about it when something happens

[Kot]

It kinda makes me wish to see someone make a very silly suggestion and hit 10k mark. Proably what the Govt will do is complain, but whatever.

That'd be fun to see.  Hopefully Cameron, or at least his PR department, has the sense of humour Obama showed when he got that Death Star petition.

The death star petition was pretty obviously a silly one that wasn't meant to be taken TOO seriously, this one looks pretty dang serious.

Well, yes, but Kot mentioned he wants to see a very silly suggestion.  I was agreeing with that and giving an example for humour purposes.

I wouldn't be so sure, considering the military budget of the USA.

[Frumple]

Well, the US military budget is a bit over a half a trillion, last I checked. About the lowest estimate I'm seeing for a death star is 541,261 trillion USD. So it would take a bit under 1,082,522 years for the US military to fund the star, assume they shut down absolutely everything and dedicate the entire budget to construction (which may or may not be a desirable goal, I'unno). No telling how much longer the actual construction would take.

... so no, the military budget of the USA can't really manage a death star. The thing's bloody expensive.

That's what they want you to think.

[Kot]

There's also the problem of literally not enough material on the planet to make it without melting down all of the cities on said planet.

Not like it's a problem for someone with enough nukes.

[Kot]

What do you think they keep those "terrorist" guys from Guantanamo for? And remember this is just preparation, the real work will start when they'll melt all the cities with nukes.

[Kot]

There is some more planets in our system all-right. Also asteroids.
