    I've seen that a lot on cross-country road trips. The most obvious example was on a drive through Arizona - straight, flat road for hundreds of miles, so we had our car on cruise control the whole time. Which is to say that I am sure we were driving at a constant speed. This other car would pass us at high speed and zoom off into the distance, but then about 10 minutes later we'd pass him and leave him behind. This happened over and over again for like 5 hours on end. What we couldn't figure was if he was doing it on purpose as a way of taking turns playing "cop-catcher," or if that was just his driving style, or if he was just bipolar or what.

    The more annoying one around where I live now are the people who exhibit some overriding need to stay in front of you even though they do not want to drive faster than you are going. What's the point of cultivating a huge column of angry drivers tailgating you?

    Who do you think you're fooling?

    The only person you're going to end up trolling with this cheap crap is yourself.

    And since nobody here has said anything incompatible with that - because such isn't at issue in this thread - and you phrase it as a dismissive response to some (unspecified) contrary assertion, it is obviously a troll. Own it.

    I don't see the big difference in selling nukes and helping build them. That's all.
    I don't understand why you are always making these weird accusations against me.

    As i reread the OP, I saw that my post was indeed a bit off topic. So you can ignore it at will. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    l would not be surprised if we passed them tips and pointers...or they managed to steal plans:

    But as far as I know, we don't sell nukes. As a matter of fact we have to pay a fair amount to have them disassembled:

    (If that second link's screwed up, let me know...dang work filter...)

    Didn't the US, or a company in the US, sell reactor material and tech to North Korea?

    In fact we sort of had a hand in it, but not the kind of reactors they need.
    The power plants were actually made by a big European firm based in Zurich, however...

    They make plutonium, but it has to be refined way, way further before it's weapons-grade.
