America "Planned to Nuke the Moon"

[beastro]

Did the US plan to invade Canada in the 1930s?

No.

But they made sure they had a plan if the by some chance in a blue moon the US actually went to war with the British Empire.

Remote, very remote.

US and UK interests intersect far, far too much, most of all their trade.

The only war between them since Independence crippled US overseas trade for decades.

As far as I can tell, no one has yet mentioned this

You all make jokes and arguments about the "nuke the moon" crap and the credibility of The Sun on the whole, but do none of you know about Project Starfish?

They detonated nukes in the sky, which were visible in many places at the time. Not just because it cause massive black outs. It also created radiation belts that disabled satellites for years, and probably didn't exactly do wonders for all of us that are beneath them.

You think the IDEA of them nuking the moon is preposterous, well they already nuked the sky, which is a hell of a lot closer and infinitely stupider.
