Are they not… you know… shut down rn?

What is the point. Any one single warhead will end humanity.

The test site should be Mar-A-Lago.

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

Jesus Christ what’s next week, “build a space ‘LAZER’”???

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

He's going to mess up and try to nuke bikiki bottom isn't he?

Poor patrick.

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

Someone tell Trump not to look directly at the blast.

The Cold War did more brain damage than the lead imo

Yet another sitraction from the Epstein Files and economic collapse

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.

I thought Elon's DOGE was bad... We're amping this up a few more levels eh?

There goes New Mexico. Fare thee well.

I thought the government was shut down?

On who?

If they sold tickets to watch, I would be extremely tempted to go.

Mr president, just press the button on top of the bomb to initiate the test.

Fuck.

Wow. That North Korean missile launch really got to him.

"The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country," he said in his social media post, later adding that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.”

Cheeto McFuckface can't ever not lie, or be factually correct. Ever. Even about nukes. Humanity is so fucked

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons lists Russia as having the most confirmed nuclear weapons — 5,449 to the United States’ 5,277. Together, the United States and Russia possess around 90% of all nuclear weapons.

Because there's so much more to learn by blowing up more nuclear weapons .. those 1,054 already completed tests were clearly inconclusive ..

Sounds like we won't be testing anything since no one else is testing.

Just Wednesday dictator things...

I wonder if the missiles will be pointy on top

Once again they conspire to wage war, however the only real war is class war
