Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.

I would choose France.

That'd be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.

I'm sure they'd be treated extremely well. Usually there's some good incentives to encourage defectors

Yep at least you get a VIP treatment while they suck your brains off

Both places suck big time, change my mind.

That's a chance you want to take with China of all places? No thank you.

I believe some countries don't have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don't know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.

I don't know either, but a friend of mine is in nuclear research and said that China is investing a lot into nuclear power.
