With all the wild talk and propaganda about Russia actually using nukes in the "special military operation" in Ukraine, it was only a matter of time before red-mercury and/or "fogbank" and/or "ballotechnics" made the rounds.
If Ukraine really was a main supplier of this material, then that may explain why Russia has not and will not resort to tactical nukes. When Vlad sez : "no bluff", the translation is "major bluff". Although most of the chatter along these lines is BS, and old debunked BS at that, there could be an element of truth in the story - and one which has an LENR connection. In fact "fogbank" (see google) is definitely real and certainly may have a direct cold fusion connection. OK .... slow news day so far, so if nothing else - this backstory is good for a chuckle, but hey it is a lot more credible than Q-anon.
