    Misquote much?

    Xanthro

    I stated that Russia has a few kilos of Pu-238.

    You then claim Russian has 120-170 kilotons of Weapons Grade, Plutonium Pu-239.

    Now you're just lying to cover your ass, because you didn't say that, and I didn't say that.

    This is what you just quoted:

    Xanthro--Russia has almost all the remaining stockpile, measured in a few kilograms

    Me: "Russia has an estimated stockpile of 120-170 metric tons

    The two are not the same. And everybody can see that except you.

    -- Godot..

    Did I or did I not specifically mention space travel and in that context then say, "Russia has almost all the remaining stockpile, measured in a few kilograms?"

    You are trying to misquote and remove all context, because that's what people like you do. Distort.

    I didn't place quotes around your statement, because I added the Pu-239 part. If you don't add that, then you're off by more than a factor of ten. In context, you starting talking about weapons grade plutonium (pu-239) I added it to preserve your context. You misquoted to destroy context.

    I highly doubt you even knew there was more than one type of Plutonium before today, which partially explains your continued confusion.
