And he's doing this while the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is furloughed... 🧐

He's been itching to nuke something since his first term. Hurricanes, he suggested at one point. And Americans voted him into office twice. Fucking morons.

Is he unstable enough for the 25th amendment yet? Asking for a friend.

Can someone just tell him no one else has nuclear fusion power stations yet but (china|EU|Russia) are close and how much money it would make.

Ah, the "I had no choice!" argument for scaling up world tension. Yeah, we've never heard that one before. Hitler also "had no choice" but to invade Sudetenland, Austria and Poland.

The "we had no choice" argument is always used to take the victim role as an excuse to justify anything you like. Whether it is joining wars because they sank your illegal weapons shipment hidden in an ocean liner, invading a country because you made it look like they sank your ship, invade a country because a few terrorists attacked your country, invade a country because you claim there might be weapons of mass destruction, send troops and chemical weapons to a dictatorial regime because the freedom fighters threaten your overseas naval base, invade a country for denazification, commit ethnic cleansing, genocide and other horrible war crimes because some terrorist extremists attacked your country after years and years of oppression and apartheid, etc etc etc. There are so many examples in history where this tactic has been used. The entire cold war thrived on this bullshit argument "look at them, I have no choice".

"I'm going to do something bad, so I find a way to justify it."

• every dictator, agressor, war criminal in history.

Just shows he is desperately trying to create many more distractions from the Epstein files to see what works.

One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I'm pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.

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.

And who, exactly, is going to get paid to do that? Last I saw 75% of them were furloughed at the moment.

President of peace.

Unless I'm mistaken Russia has way more nukes than the US still.

ffs we're still in 2025 man.

Why? They work... We checked.

Even if it wasn't for the other million reasons, this guy's grammar alone should disqualify him from having the nuclear codes.

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.

Choose one...global warming or nuclear winter. I think that is our futures only options.

Testing for what exactly? Do we not know enough about them already?

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

I can't believe no one posted the source. Not even op

We would try, but the mods silence us talking about it.

Dumbass probably watched a movie and was like duuuuh that looks cool lolz...

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!

Someone distract Gramps with shiny ballroom pictures again.
