Day 259 of Trump's 24-hour peace deal: nuclear tests are resuming.
Surely this will get Donny his Nobel Peace Prize.
- Can’t be passed over for the Nobel peace prize if the prize committee is reduced to radioactive slag.
  
  Won't get one either, lol
On the plus side: Building and maintaining a nuclear stockpile is extremely expensive. This will serve as yet another open, gushing tap on Russia's finances as they haemorrhage money from the war.
- Did you mean the US's gushing Tap. They racked up another trillion this year. Its now over 38 Trillion
  
  While the US budget is financially in freefall, that could be remedied very easily (with a more competent administration) and won't meaningfully impede its ability to aid Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, can be screwed by extreme expenses.
Lol, Vladdy already tried a nuclear test. Was it last year? This year? I forget... Either way, it failed.
- Are you sure you’re not thinking of a test of a nuclear-powered thruster for a non-nuclear weapon?
  That’s an important distinction.
  
  You mean a dirty nuclear bomb/rocket that can easily swap out a conventional warhead for a nuclear one.
  That is not an important distinction. It was a nuclear test.
Next announcements are coming from China, N. Korea, Pakistan, India and so on. Israel will cowardly remain silent. So much winning, so much peace.
- Israel doesn't have to say anything. The US government is under them even without the nukes everyone assumes they have.
- Israel will complain that Hamas is using human shields on their nuclear testing sites.
- Perhaps this is the first step towards a new START treaty that includes the countries you mentioned? I doubt that's Trump's intentions but that outcome seems probable if everyone starts testing.
Sure. Enough money and military available for an extra hobby. /s
