Is the United States about to start testing nuclear weapons again? Recent comments by United States President Trump suggested that he is strongly considering testing nuclear warheads in response to real and perceived tests by other nuclear powers.
These comments left many confused about the future of US policy and the state of intelligence on adversary nuclear programs.
So what’s going on? As is often the case, President Trump seems to prize unpredictability.
We don’t know what’s going to happen, but it wouldn’t hurt to review where we’ve been.
It’s because he needs to feel powerful and big booms make small men feel strong
“…Prize unpredictability.”
What an incredible whitewashing of “He has no fucking clue what he’s doing.”
He is literally just saying shit and trying to come up with big displays of big-manliness and kaboom power. It’s all he has and it actually works at keeping his base distracted and enthusiastic as he bleeds them dry.
Will we see a return to expensive and internationally condemned above-ground testing? Probably not, but for the length of the news cycle about it, his base will cheer and go “OORAH YAH! BLOW SHIT UP! BLOW ME UP HARDER DADDY!”
Because he raped kids
Don’t leave out the trafficking.
I think the politically correct term is “held naked tea parties”.
Wtf is that true? Fuck I hate America right now. Idk how people still identify as American.
I wish it was as simple as packing up and moving but for most of us it’s not an option. If nothing else this regime has showed the rest of the world just how little it actually needs the US.
The parties were held in Uncle Epstein’s Secret Puzzle Penthouse
With the elusive “short horned” unicorns…
We accidentally tested a nuclear weapon on Venezuela. Oops.
Remember the live fire military exercise over CA’s Interstate 5, that would’ve probably killed people if Newsom hadn’t shut it down?
These “tests” will go the same way.
Strongman bullshit of course? The reason we stopped testing these things in the first place is because the US and USSR both realised at pretty much the same time after the first couple of hydrogen bomb tests that you can basically nest stages indefinetaly for exponentially higher yields. The escalating tests had to stop for the sake of not fucking everything by setting off devices in the hundreds of megaton to gigaton range. (Also larger devices get less efficient surface coverage than just using multiple smaller bombs.)
Holy Epstein list, FatMan!
May be related to the release of some compromising files for Trump, I think I’ve heard someone called them Epsom or Upstin files idk
I feel like you could follow every headline about trump with “and no one knows why”
It’s practically implied at this point
Assholes gonna be assholes, I guess.
Russia is desperate so started making noise about testing some missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. They like making noise about nukes in general because their conventional forces are failing at taking over Ukraine. Promoting fear of nuclear war is a card they play often, it’s easier to list the months Russia hasn’t made nuke threats in the last three years than the months they haven’t.
Trump is an idiot and didn’t understand the distinction between testing nuclear capable missiles and testing actual nuclear weapons. He doesn’t understand the Putin is weak now and the noise he’s making is a sign of that weakness and instead thinks it’s a sign of strength. Trump likes to copy Putin and is too stupid not to understand the distinction between a missile test and a nuclear weapons test, so started talking about doing nuclear weapons tests.
His administration is full of idiots that are only there because they are loyal to him and so they didn’t explain it to him. When a reporter explained the distinction between nuclear capable missile and actual nuclear weapons, since Trump is incapable of admitting he’s wrong about anything he insisted that Russia and China are testing nuclear weapons. But he’s the only one in the world that knows about it apparently.
Now it’s a weird situation where Trump’s sycophants probably know it’s stupid to do, but they aren’t going to question dear leader’s orders. But that doesn’t mean it will happen since they may be too incompetent to be able to do such a test. I’m not sure if they know it’s actually the Department of Energy that does nuclear testing not the Department of
DefenseWar that do them. The facilities to do them have been repurposed so there would need to be some work done to make it possible even if they figure out which department does them.There’s a significant likelihood that Trump gets distracted be something else before the administration can figure out how to do it. But if it continues to be a controversy then he’ll stick with it, since distracting from the Epstein files and various other corruption is the top priority.
It’s because removing the filibuster is called the nuclear option.
Yup, global super power in 2025 folks.
I hate to admit that you might be onto something. This is just like him thinking that “asylum” in regards to immigrants means mental institution.
First time around it took about 2 months and everyone in the administration to get Trump to stop asking why he can’t print money.
He may be an idiot. Maybe.
I’m game for one more test. He can have a nice front row seat too. “BIGLY!”
Imagine if he turned into the shit Hulk?
It’s because he desperately wants to use one. It’s why he wanted to nuke the hurricane. He thinks it’s cool, and wants to be the second president to actually use a nuclear weapon.
Conservatives entire personality is based around trying to appear tough. This is just a senile old man trying to impress his fanbase of spoiled buffoons.
You actually have an insane person leading your country. What are you doing.
