For the first time, Israeli soldiers were detained and questioned in Europe over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

After nearly ten months of tracking Israeli soldiers abroad, the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) have scored a symbolic breakthrough: the arrest and interrogation of two Israeli soldiers in Belgium on war crimes allegations related to the war in Gaza.

For now it's only jackbooted thugs that were detained but I hope that scum netanyahu will too get what he deserves soon along with the rest of criminals in this rogue state.

Well done, Herr Trump - issue an order to place a technology that doesn’t exist on a place we can’t get to.

The main problem would be the large amount of water a reactor needs, not a lot up there!

Isn't the moon under some treaty guaranteeing neutrality of use? I'm curious how you're going to get the electricity from the moon to the earth where it's needed.

Build a wall

To be fair, the idea of putting a reactor on the moon dates back to the 50s and 60s. NASA has been tinkering with it for a while and their Kilopower program aims to deliver something in the range of 1-10 kiloWatts. The USA and the USSR launched nuclear-powered satellites back in the day, and at least one of them crashed back to Earth.

This is probably something that will need to be done eventually for a long-term base on the moon, but Trump's stated reasons for doing it are pure imbecility.

The idea is to generate energy for lunar activities.
