Nuclear weapons testing as it is now isn’t the same kind of testing that conjures images of mushroom clouds.

But what it could be in light of President Trump’s recent news, says @nktpnd.bsky.social, is “a completely different ballpark.”

President Trump’s directive to test nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” caused widespread alarm. But is the U.S. actually about to start testing nuclear weapons again?

President Trump governs by instinct – and those instincts are “unconventional,” says @stephenwertheim.bsky.social, but a lack of a coherent strategy isn’t an asset in today’s complex geopolitical structure.
