What could be wrong with just testing nuclear weapons? Everything. From sparking global arms races to risking environmental disaster, nuclear tests aren’t just harmless experiments—they’re a step toward chaos. Nuclear tests are a blast from the past in the worst possible way.

[Lavrov]: If any of the nuclear powers conducts a nuclear weapons test - not tests of delivery systems or subcritical experiments, but an actual nuclear weapons test - then Russia will do the same.

Chinese Foreign Ministry on reports claiming that China conducted nuclear tests: Such accusations are completely groundless. The US spares no effort to smear other countries. China urges the United States to abide by its commitment to a moratorium on nuclear testing, uphold the global consensus on banning nuclear tests, and stop seeking excuses to resume nuclear testing.

'Russia is conducting nuclear weapons tests. You just don't know about it' — Trump. - So why do we need to test our nuclear weapons? - Because we need to understand how they work. And the reason I talk about testing is that Russia announced it is going to conduct a test. If you notice, North Korea constantly conducts tests. Other countries test as well. We are the only country that does not conduct tests. And I don't want us to be the only country that doesn't do it. - Are you saying that after more than 30 years, the US will start detonating nuclear weapons for testing again? - I'm saying we will conduct tests. Nuclear weapons tests, like other countries do, yes [we will detonate]. - But the only country conducting nuclear tests is North Korea. China and Russia do not. - No, no, Russia conducts nuclear tests. And China also conducts tests, you just don't know about it. - What Russia did recently was essentially tests of nuclear weapons delivery systems, that is, missiles. - Russia conducts tests, and China conducts tests, they just don't talk about it, you see? They are not open societies. We are different. We discuss openly. We have to discuss it, otherwise you journalists will write about it anyway. They don't have reporters who will write about it. We do. - SK

Russia and China aren’t conducting super-critical nuclear weapons tests for fun, they’re doing it to advance their nuclear arsenals. I’m glad President Trump is allowing our military to conduct activities on par with our chief adversaries to advance the U.S. nuclear stockpile.

🚨⚡️ AMERICAN NUCLEAR MADNESS OVER "BUREVESTNIK"! 🇷🇺🇺🇸💥 The United States has not distinguished to this day between a rocket powered by nuclear fuel and a rocket exploding with nuclear power. After Russia's tests on the Burevestnik missile (nuclear-powered), Washington went mad, thinking it was a nuclear test, and rushed to announce nuclear tests for the first time in 30 years! Trump: "It looks like they're all conducting nuclear tests... We have more nuclear weapons than anybody." (A hysterical justification for ending the nuclear moratorium since 1992). Russia's new weapons impose an entirely new reality on Western deterrence strategy! 💣 🇷🇺🔥

Tucker Carlson warns Donald Trump may use nuclear weapons: ‘So if you’ve reached the end of your conventional power, what’s that a euphemism for? Nuclear weapons. Life in Iran won’t be possible. You wipe out a country of 92 million people. What about the 7 countries directly across the Persian Gulf who are US allies? Would a nuclear strike be followed by peace? Probably not. The US is not the only country in the world with nuclear weapons. You could have a global nuclear war.’

Lukashenko on nuclear weapons: If we approach the matter from the standpoint of fairness, does the United States of America possess nuclear weapons? Yes, it does. Okay, the United States is the pioneer of nuclear weapons and has held them for a long time. But Israel remains quiet about the fact that it has nuclear weapons. The Iranians could ask, “Why can’t we have nuclear weapons?” Especially when nearby India and Pakistan are nuclear powers. Why can’t Iran have nuclear weapons? If we want fairness, let us gradually, step by step, eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world. But if nuclear weapons are a deterrent, a guarantee that no one will ever attack you, then Iran has the right, like other nations, to possess nuclear weapons for its own defense.

🤡 Tests of the “Burevestnik” and “Poseidon” are not nuclear, Peskov claims “We hope that the information was correctly conveyed to President Trump. In the sense that this cannot in any way be interpreted as a nuclear test,” the Kremlin spokesperson hurried to explain. 📌Earlier today, the U.S. President ordered nuclear weapons tests “on equal terms” with other countries. He did not specify which states he had in mind. Trump’s statement came right after Putin’s announcement about testing the “Burevestnik” missile and the “Poseidon” underwater system. Coincidence?

Alastair Crooke: The US🇺🇸 may have signalled that it will resume nuclear weapons testing because Trump misunderstood a Russian missile test as a nuclear test ‘It seems to be based on a misunderstanding. Allegedly, Trump has proposed the idea of nuclear tests in response to Russian nuclear tests. But there hasn’t been a Russian nuclear test. The Burevestnik missile, that was publicised these recent days, like the Oreshnik. But this one has a nuclear power. It has got a propulsion system that is nuclear-based. Its warhead isn’t. There isn’t a nuclear warhead on it. It is a conventional warhead, but it is just instead of having a rocket propulsion, it has a nuclear drive that propels it. And this is why it’s able to stay aloft for a very long time, and in fact traverse the whole globe. But it’s nuclear propulsion, not a nuclear weapon. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Now, whether the Russians have been testing underground before, I doubt it…I’m sure they would have taken every opportunity to say it if they thought they had detected Russian or Chinese underground tests.’ -Alastair Crooke, the former Middle East Advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

RUSSIA TESTS YARS ICBM IN NUCLEAR DRILLS SUPERVISED BY PUTIN Moscow just flexed its nuclear muscles. As part of today’s strategic nuclear forces exercise, Russia launched a Yars intercontinental ballistic missile from its central region toward the Kura test range in Kamchatka, the Kremlin confirmed. The launch was overseen by Putin, who was personally briefed during the drills -part of what Moscow calls a “scheduled readiness exercise,” though the timing feels anything but routine. The Yars, capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads over 11,000 km, is a key pillar of Russia’s land-based deterrent. It’s designed to evade missile defenses and deliver a clear message: Russia’s nuclear triad - land, sea, and air - remains fully operational. “Routine testing”... with a little nuclear theater, and global audience.
