You know what... I don't see why not. Can we get the God Emperor a front row seat too?

Don't forget to remind him not to look directly into the blast just to make sure he looks directly into the blast.

I'm sorry, in case people who listen to him are reading this, I'm calling you dumber than him.

I'm so sorry, this is not helpful. I'm saying Joe is extremely stupid, and you are even more stupid. You're a fucking idiot if you listen to him.

Yeah, the guy who claimed he ends wars wants to start another cold war, while also indiscriminately bombing ships off the coast of South America.

Fuck this timeline.

Fantastic. Let's add radioactive fallout to the list of things Trump and co are trying to kill everyone with.

RFK might like to note that nukes can very quickly stop measles, COVID, flu, autism, brain worms, and also everything else.

Trump earlier this year called denuclearization “a big aim,” telling reporters over the summer that "Russia’s willing to do it, and I think China is going to be willing to do it, too.”

“We can’t let nuclear weapons proliferate. We have to stop nuclear weapons,” he added.

Then fucking do it jfc

You know what would have helped denuclearization? Giving the Budapest Memorandum teeth. Obama and every subsequent president made some mealy-mouthed "We'll send a few old guns" to Ukraine, despite the deal being Ukraine gives up their nukes and Russia (lol), the US and UK defend them.

Every other country's leadership looking at that has reached the obvious conclusion: nothing but nukes that you yourself control will save you against a nuclear power.

Denuclearization by firing the whole arsenal. The fuhrer keeps his promises! <3

I guess it makes strategic sense to lessen dependence on the Jewish peoples' well known expertise in the creation and operation of space lasers.

The Jewish people have had a near monopoly on the construction of space lasers for thousands of years, and while this wouldn't be the first attempt to unlock the secrets of the space lasers for non Jews, I'd be shocked if this effort didn't fail as has historically been the case.

Ah yes, I was wondering if the end was going to be a long, painful, drawn-out one or if we'd go with a satisfying bang.

Satisfaction depends how far out ground zero actually is.

Never thought I would be more happy to live on the west coast of the US. Grew up in the most targeted zone with all out nukes.

My dad lived in central Connecticut in the 50s, between the marine academy, electric boat, Sikorsky, the place that made all of our parachutes, the insurance companies which could have made rebuilding the rest of the country easier, and of course, in one of the most densely populated regions in the country, likely to get fallout from Boston or New York. He’s not sure if everyone at the time thought they would be hit first, but everyone around him thought CT would be wiped off the map

I think people all over were told that as cold war internal propaganda for the MIC. What I meant was Iived where a lot of our nukes were and are. That would definitely be a first strike area.

Is this his petty revenge for not getting the Nobel peace prize?

I'm just the unique incident counter, the other counters are under a different department.

This is so pathetic and stupid.

This isn’t aimed at Russia or China, whom the article calls out by name.
This is a dick measuring contest with Iran and North Korea.

I mean - he made the announcement in South Korea.

Diplomatically, Trump (well, his administration) has stated to learn that befriending and allowing tinpot dictators to humiliate the U.S. is non-viable. So they’ve moved to cold-war era tactics of arms races and implied threats of nuclear holocaust.
They, of course, are focusing on smaller nations that while powerful in their own right, aren’t actual threats to the U.S. global hegemony. Not that I support continued U.S. dominance on the world stage, but it’s a weird priority.
Maybe by the end of the admin, they’ll be caught up to Clinton, who realized the best way to apply pressure was economically and via international partnerships — assuming the U.S. has an economy and international partnerships to leverage by then.

Nothing marks the distinction of a Trump term quite like the ever present fear of a nuclear holocaust. (Amongst many others)

I’m sure the down wind states will be super happy about that!!

They're all blue states so who cares, amirite?

Except Utah, but it's too red to change now, so it also doesn't matter.

It is likely that any tests will be conducted in enclosed underground silos in Nevada. The site to do that has been maintained at some amount of readiness since the last test in 1992.

12

He won't want it underground. He wants an audience at all times to show how manly and powerful he is.

8

Any wagers on which blue city it is that he'll test it on? Or maybe it will be Venezula since they've suddenly become a mortal enemy.

Why do we need to "test" 80-year old technology? Am I missing something here?

Putin just tested a missile launcher. He wants to flex. That's it. Ego.

The orange paedo is nearly 80. You guys should test him with something radioactive!

My god have the last 10 years showed us all how weak this nation actually is.

Our ancestors would be ashamed. The future will condemn us.

The United States has the ability to resume tests at a federal site in Nevada.

Doesn't mean it will 100% be used there, but....
