Trump Threatens to Resume Nuclear Weapons Testing, Minutes Before Xi Meeting

[Hume]

In the middle of a high-stakes diplomatic tour, President Trump threatened on social media to resume nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years.

He made the threat just minutes before he was scheduled to meet President Xi Jinping of China, who is overseeing one of the fastest buildups of a nuclear arsenal on earth.

But there is no such thing as a "nuclear war" that can be "won". This brings to mind the song by Sting, "If the Russians Love Their Children Too"

There is such a thing. But it is used to scare ones domestic population.

There he is, meekly saying "ok".

What's wrong? No attention this time?

As to the OP, has it been that long since the last nuclear test?

To quote the song, "There's no such thing as a winnable war, it's a LIE we don't believe any more!"
