Day 259 of Trump's 24-hour peace deal: nuclear tests are resuming.
Surely this will get Donny his Nobel Peace Prize.
Can’t be passed over for the Nobel peace prize if the prize committee is reduced to radioactive slag.
Won't get one either, lol
On the plus side: Building and maintaining a nuclear stockpile is extremely expensive. This will serve as yet another open, gushing tap on Russia's finances as they haemorrhage money from the war.
I don't think this is a good deal for the US. It costs them equally much, and China will also gain the "official" opportunity to make nuclear tests, a field where they don't have as much experience as the US the the regional power Russia.
China wolnt waste the money. They'll have all the US test data and probably most of the Russian.
Did you mean the US's gushing Tap. They racked up another trillion this year. Its now over 38 Trillion
While the US budget is financially in freefall, that could be remedied very easily (with a more competent administration) and won't meaningfully impede its ability to aid Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, can be screwed by extreme expenses.
Next announcements are coming from China, N. Korea, Pakistan, India and so on. Israel will cowardly remain silent. So much winning, so much peace.
Israel will complain that Hamas is using human shields on their nuclear testing sites.
Bigly.
Israel doesn't have to say anything. The US government is under them even without the nukes everyone assumes they have.
Perhaps this is the first step towards a new START treaty that includes the countries you mentioned? I doubt that's Trump's intentions but that outcome seems probable if everyone starts testing.
Sure. Enough money and military available for an extra hobby. /s
Lol, Vladdy already tried a nuclear test. Was it last year? This year? I forget... Either way, it failed.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of a test of a nuclear-powered thruster for a non-nuclear weapon?
That’s an important distinction.
You mean a dirty nuclear bomb/rocket that can easily swap out a conventional warhead for a nuclear one.
That is not an important distinction. It was a nuclear test.
Testing a nuclear reactor (which happens all the time, all over the place) is very different from testing a nuclear bomb.
The distinction literally couldn't be fucking more important.
OP said nuclear test, not a nuclear bomb. It was definitely a nuclear test.
Furthermore, this is why Trump is asking for nuclear testing as a reaction to Russia's big bad new weapon. Also, the whole spend more money on the military angle that the US is obsessed with.
So there is no distinction because you are just wrong at this point on multiple levels.
And the comment after that clarified that this article is about nuclear bomb test, not a nuclear powered vehicle, to which you then replied with the absolutely ludicrous statement that the distinction isn't important.
Feel free to keep arguing, but you're just putting on your clown make up right now.
Apparently, you need to comment on another thread where you are not blatantly wrong.
Also, you are acting pretty trollish for getting put in your place.
