I wish this was an inflated title but no, he really said this.
America, you need to get rid of this asshole ASAP.

Thanks @notarobot@lemmy.zip
Choose one…global warming or nuclear winter. I think that is our futures only options.
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.
Even if it wasn’t for the other million reasons, this guy’s grammar alone should disqualify him from having the nuclear codes.
Secured safely in the bathroom of his golf course.
Are any other countries actually actively testing nuclear weapons?
(I don’t think North Korea counts/is.)Not really. We know they work.
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.

Ohh we got you fam.
True, but don’t tell them that, it’s better if they waste money on useless nuclears than genocide technology.
Do you mean 100 all at once? Because we’ve been averaging 26.5 per year for the last 80 years
Testing for what exactly? Do we not know enough about them already?
Gotta keep them hurricanes scared.
The real crazy people who would cause a nuclear wae are israel and the usa leaders not Iran
lol imagine simping for the irgc
I am not simping. Iran isn’t seeking nukes by american admission. I never justified Iran human right abuses.
Just shows he is desperately trying to create many more distractions from the Epstein files to see what works.
As if nuking Russia would help. They have the Dead-Hand system. No one wins here.
If it’s anything like the rest of their military equipment, I’m not too worried about it.
Given the dead-hand policy, that’s easily the most dangerous mindset I’ve read on Lemmy.
It should make you more worried, lest faulty equipment leads to another incident like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
And we don’t have someone like Stanislav Petrov literally risking his neck to save civilization.
ffs we’re still in 2025 man.
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.
No doubt but it would not include a detonation test. I think 1000 tests was enough.
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.
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.
Some Americans voted for him 3 times!
Seriously, imagine how fucking dumb you would have to be to fill out three separate ballots over nearly a decade voting for a failed reality TV star.
Now imagine those who want to not have to vote anymore and let him run forever
usa is cooked as usual
I can’t believe no one posted the source. Not even op

Sorry. Will try to do better next time.
All good. Remember that this kind of apocalyptic events should not spread as heresay to avoid things getting twisted, cofused, people claiming its fake. Etc
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.
It would make money at a country level, but does it fill his personal wallets like the oil industry?
So it’s worthless for him
It only matters if it makes money for him. Someone wealthy and interested in cracking nuclear fusion would need to be giving him a payout.
Build it in mar a Lago and pay some rent
