Trump’s appointees to run the National Nuclear Security Administration, Brandon Williams and Robert O’Brien are advocating for the resumption of explosive nuclear testing. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists assumes that his will be underground testing in the old Nevada test sites but who knows. Knowing how Trump thinks and by his past attempts at trying to use nukes for insane purpose gives me pause as to whether that is his objective here.
Given that Trump is now well into his retribution goals what is stopping him from using testing as a way to threaten blue states into submission to his agenda? Nothing apparently. Will the testing be underground or will he try to a few open air demonstrations of his power. He has demonstrated in the past his lack of understanding of the risks of open air detonations that would be completly out of his control such as the spread of radiation through weather phenomenon. Remember, he once suggested nuking a hurricane not thinking about how that would have made most of the South uninhabitable. I get this boy with fireworks vibe from him. God help us.
