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.

Show him an old video, he won't know the difference.
nah, give him fist row seating. the closest the bestest
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.
He's going to mess up and try to nuke bikiki bottom isn't he?
Poor patrick.
again?
I voted for Trump because I wanted Peace!
-Joe Rogan!
He's such a fucking idiot. But he's only half a dumb as the people who listen to him.
I'm sorry, in case people who listen to him are reading this, I'm calling you dumber than him.
I'm so sorry, this is not helpful. I'm saying Joe is extremely stupid, and you are even more stupid. You're a fucking idiot if you listen to him.
"Don't blame the voters! boohoohooo!" - The Tone Police, the "centrists", the corporate media, and not a few liberal scolds...
Maybe half as dumb, but worse: a grifter, a mongerer, a liar.
Yeah, the guy who claimed he ends wars wants to start another cold war, while also indiscriminately bombing ships off the coast of South America.
Fuck this timeline.
The Cold War did more brain damage than the lead imo
The test site should be Mar-A-Lago.
Just nuke Florida.
You know what... I don't see why not. Can we get the God Emperor a front row seat too?
Don't forget to remind him not to look directly into the blast just to make sure he looks directly into the blast.
Fantastic. Let's add radioactive fallout to the list of things Trump and co are trying to kill everyone with.
Fallout is what's truly needed to Make America Healthy Again!
Please don't, I get called smooth skin enough in Bakersfield already. We don't need to add ghouls to the mix.
RFK might like to note that nukes can very quickly stop measles, COVID, flu, autism, brain worms, and also everything else.
I thought Elon's DOGE was bad... We're amping this up a few more levels eh?
Is this his petty revenge for not getting the Nobel peace prize?
Imagine destroying the planet because you didn't get an award. What a fuckin baby
He's hoping for the Nobel War Prize instead.
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
You know what would have helped denuclearization? Giving the Budapest Memorandum teeth. Obama and every subsequent president made some mealy-mouthed "We'll send a few old guns" to Ukraine, despite the deal being Ukraine gives up their nukes and Russia (lol), the US and UK defend them.
Every other country's leadership looking at that has reached the obvious conclusion: nothing but nukes that you yourself control will save you against a nuclear power.

No need to ever change the 0.
I'm just the unique incident counter, the other counters are under a different department.
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.
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.

Yet another sitraction from the Epstein Files and economic collapse
Nothing marks the distinction of a Trump term quite like the ever present fear of a nuclear holocaust. (Amongst many others)
Nobel prize, please!
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.
He won't want it underground. He wants an audience at all times to show how manly and powerful he is.
Why do we need to "test" 80-year old technology? Am I missing something here?
Putin just tested a missile launcher. He wants to flex. That's it. Ego.
