    Are they trying to figure out what the expiration date is on nuclear warheads? The fuq are they still needing to test for?

    Let’s just blow up our arsenal for the heck of it boyz, it will make for a good twitter post!

    “Was department”

    ROFL! He’s like a little child in a cardboard fort, pretending the furniture is a threat.

    Someone needs to put him in a home where he can pretend to be whatever he wants.

      Orange Don wants to make sure he can launch them the next time someone calls him names, without anyone being able to stop him

    This is horrifying. Like, mind-bogglingly bad.

    It’s also a blatant lie. Other countries are not testing nuclear weapons, they’re running simulations. We didn’t do that in the 60s because it wasn’t possible, but the US (and presumably China/Russia) literally have giant supercomputers for this purpose now.

    …And we would know if they were doing real testing because it would show up on seismographs.


    But who cares about truth? Or sanity? No, all my relatives (even scientifically minded ones) won’t even bat an eye, lest some Democrat steal their retirement, ugh.

      There’s always the mass-extinction asteroid option to look forward to.

    A giant waste of money. 800 nukes is plenty for pretty much anything and launching 100 would probably mean the end of life as we know it on planet earth. If you wanted to blow a bunch of money on the military there are better ways to do it.

      It would alter the course of human history for sure, but it wouldn’t actually end human civilization. Just being annoyingly pedantic after growing up in the cold war and learning about such cheerful topics as fallout patterns and blast wave radius and how to fashion air purifiers from an early age.

      True, but don’t tell them that, it’s better if they waste money on useless nuclears than genocide technology.

      Do you mean 100 all at once? Because we’ve been averaging 26.5 per year for the last 80 years

        Hmm I don’t think so. If it is true those are over the ocean or something. I mean an attack with 100 missiles would destroy nearly any country. Russia is especially vulnerable because they only have a couple of cities with any population in them. Modern nukes are 50-75x the yield of the ones they dropped on Japan. There are all kinds of externalities. They can poison the ground water for generations. They can kill any life feeding in the area. They can cause fallout which is like a radioactive dust cloud covering everything. It isn’t good.

        It’s very expensive too. It takes a LOT of time and resources to make spicy rocks even more spicy. It’s a huge waste of money to test a system we perfected decades ago when you can simulate detonations for almost nothing.

    The real crazy people who would cause a nuclear wae are israel and the usa leaders not Iran
