Summary
The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.
The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.
The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.
And in the confusion… the government lost track of several nuclear weapons
Russia lost track of something like 75 “suitcase nukes” as they went missing and often sold off a truck, right after the fall of the Soviet union.
Because we needed more parallels to Russia.
