Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately'

The test site should be Mar-A-Lago.

I voted for Trump because I wanted Peace!

-Joe Rogan!

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

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

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

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.

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

Show him an old video, he won't know the difference.

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

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)

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.

Yet another sitraction from the Epstein Files and economic collapse

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

Poor patrick.

Someone tell Trump not to look directly at the blast.

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

The Cold War did more brain damage than the lead imo

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?

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

On who?

There goes New Mexico. Fare thee well.

I thought the government was shut down?

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