U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to immediately restart the process for testing nuclear weapons after a halt of 33 years, a move that seemed to be a message to rival nuclear powers China and Russia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/nuclear-testing-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #nuclearweapons #donaldtrump #china #russia #northkorea

Nuclear testing: Why did it stop, why test and who has nuclear weapons?

No nuclear power — other than North Korea most recently in 2017 — has carried out explosive nuclear testing in over 25 years.

A new catastrophe will soon befall humanity if US and others resume #NuclearTesting,which has caused 1000s of deaths

We must absolutely recreate a #MassMovement against #NuclearWeapons
Look at what the mass movement and #Gorbachev achieved in the '80s

if you haven't watched #AHouseOfDynamite, you should. It is NOT a masterpiece like #DrStrangelove, but it is worth to understand the absolute urgency to rebuild a #MassMovement against #NuclearWeapons

U.S. President Donald Trump, ahead of a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday, said he has instructed the Pentagon to immediately resume testing nuclear weapons on an "equal basis" with other nuclear powers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/30/world/trump-pentagon-testing-nuclear-weapons/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #nuclearweapons #us #china #russia #donaldtrump

Trump asks Pentagon to immediately resume testing U.S. nuclear weapons

Never mind that Russia and China are not currently conducting nuclear tests and nuclear testing is overseen by the Department of Energy.

The post came less than an hour before #Trump is set to meet with #China president #Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday morning in an effort to come to a trade war truce.

Trump’s missive on Wednesday night also arrived on the heels of him describing Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a #nuclear-powered cruise missile test as “not appropriate”. Trump made those comments after #Putin said that #Russia had successfully tested its “unique” nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile….

Earlier in his post on Wednesday, #Trump also falsely noted that the #US has more #NuclearWeapons than any other country. #Russia currently has the most confirmed nuclear weapons, with >5,500 nuclear warheads while the US has 5,044 nuclear weapons, per the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

The last nuclear test by the US, codenamed “Divider,” was carried out on 23 Sept 1992 at what is now called the Nevada National Security Site.

#Energy Secy Wright said the systems would "supercharge" advances in #NuclearPower & #fusion energy, #technologies for #defense & #NationalSecurity, & the development of #drugs.

Scientists & companies are trying to replicate fusion, the reaction that fuels the sun, by jamming light atoms in a plasma gas under intense heat & pressure to release massive amounts of energy.
