Al Mayadeen English
When US President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to "immediately resume nuclear weapons testing," it wasn’t just a military decision; it was the resurrection of a horrific past. From the Trinity blast that scorched New Mexico’s skies 80 years ago to the Castle Bravo explosion that covered Pacific children in radioactive "snow", the United States’ is once again endangering lives and the environment... knowingly. Now, the same nation that irradiated its own people calls it "a crucial aspect of national security" just to "make sure it’s working properly [the nuclear arsenal]."
