My sense at this point is that grotesque flattery works on Trump, but only to a point. Trump doesn’t really like anyone, the best you can do is a slightly-better-than-neutral relationship. (And at the other end he’s willing to coexist with anyone who hasn’t personally slighted him, like Kim Jong Un)

I mean, he also paints himself orange and thinks it’s hot…

I stand corrected. It’s less clear which ones definitely need it, exactly. Wikipedia mentions that even Tc-99m generator designs can use low-enriched uranium. You don’t need large quantities in that case, either, since a little radioisotope goes a long way and there’s only so many people that need treatment.

I mean, most of it is enriching, by the sound of it, and they’ve been doing that far beyond any civilian application. As a negotiating tactic, to date, per America’s own intelligence.

Well, I’m mildly surprised.

The suddenness kind of reminds me of when he bombed Assad.
