As we spelunk, we might recall that it was on this date in 1962 that the U.S. military detonated Little Feller I, a tactical nuclear weapon at the Nevada Test Site as part of Operation Sunbeam. It was the last near-ground atmospheric nuclear detonation conducted by the United States. The high-altitude Fishbowl tests concluded in November of1962 with a detonation at around 69,000 feet altitude. Thereafter, in accordance with the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty, tests were conducted underground… more holes.

It’s hard to overstate how incredibly reckless and destabilizing an idea this is: it’s bad enough knowing that there are thousands of weapons half a world away that can reach targets in under an hour, not imagine those same weapons constantly orbiting over your head, with time to target reduced to mere minutes.
Not to mention the risk of accidents or questions like how to de-orbit them, or the possibility of nuclear space junk (not so) randomly landing around the world, or what happens in the event of a Kessler cascade.

…#Trump seemed unconcerned that the last major #NuclearArms control agreement with #Russia was set to expire in 4 weeks, leaving the world’s 2 largest #nuclear powers free to expand their arsenals without limit, for the first time in half a century.
“If it expires, it expires,” he said. “We’ll just do a better agreement,” he added, insisting that #China, which has the fastest-growing #arsenal in the world, should be incorporated in any future agreement. -

#Trump shock spurs #Japan to think about the unthinkable: #NuclearArms
In Japan & #SouthKorea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American #security guarantees. This has been turbo-charged by Trump’s tough treatment of traditional #US #allies, which has some in Tokyo & Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-#nuclear policies.

Saudi Arabia, not Russia, is behind this second DOGE Trump coup:
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/112797204536848878Mohamed Bin Salman has been playing both sides of the #nuclearArms equation, supporting Putin’s mafia and bribing overtime to get the American oligarchy in line with their crime syndicates.
MBS wants The Bomb, and his dead grand-dad bragged about being THE Wall Street whale that could tank the US economy.
