Ut oh! Trump has order the military to.....

start nuclear weapon testing!

This is not good! We already know what the result will be!

What is he planning behind the scenes? Where will the testing be? Who will be responsible for this if something goes wrong? So many questions!

Folks, this is a deranged man with the nuclear codes! I fear the the world will be unsafe?

Story from MSM.

1. Testing nuclear weapons

The last US underground nuclear test was on September 23, 1992, code-named "Divider". This test took place at the Nevada Test Site and was the final one before President George H.W. Bush announced a moratorium on nuclear weapons testing.

The reason Bush was able to announce the last nuclear test is that we ( the USA ) spent an enormous amount of money simulating nuclear bombs, especially aging nuclear bombs. The Department of Energy national laboratories were responsible for the development of the codes and the purchasing of the supercomputers needed for the simulations. The creation and testing of nuclear weapons IS what the DOE actually DOES... it has almost NO relationship with fossil fuels and only a little relationship with "renewable energy".

The national labs are the left over "Manhattan Project" labs... Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, Sandia, Argonne, Livermore, Berkeley, etc.

We no longer have any need to test nuclear devices. I don't know who put this in his head or if the deranged orange stroke-n-off thought of this all on his own, but it isn't needed, will be very expensive, and will further damage the environment.

Does DOD have the personnel or institutional knowledge to test nuclear devices?

And good morning, as much as it can be.

A "president" who is clearly mentally deranged is ordering nuclear testing. This should be an OMG moment, not only for us, but for the world. I'd like to think this is the final straw, but who knows. He has gotten away with so much already. Perhaps the threat of him nuking the world will be a wake-up call.

Then show him clips from old movies and tell him everything's going perfectly.
