The phrase "Gandhi's words are backed with nuclear" refers to a popular internet meme and in-joke related to the video game "Civilization." In the game, Mahatma Gandhi, known for his non-violent philosophy in real life, has a tendency to become surprisingly aggressive and develop nuclear weapons in later stages of the game. This has led to the humorous association of his name with nuclear power, despite his actual historical stance.

Olympic gold medals don't make money. It is for national pride. Even hosting the games does not always make money.
Actually I am Aussie. 12 years ago it was calculated that each gold medal costs us AU$12m (so about US$11m in today's money). It embarrasses me.
Even if we were the only country researching...
I have heard GOP politicians saying something like "why should we fund a cure for a disease and everyone else benefits without spending a cent?"
Why doesn't their national pride on the world stage extend beyond sport?
