    Trump:Restart Atmospheric Atom Tests-off Mar-a-Lago

    Recent Trump decisions on nuclear weapons:

    The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. @realdonaldTrump  cheeky

    “Let it be an arms race,” Mr. Trump said, according to Ms. Brzezinski, who described her conversation with the president-elect on the morning news program moments later. Mr. Trump added: “We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all.” surprise

    Trump "does not believe" in radiation or nuclear winter. "Radiation comes from a radiator"..."we don't have them we have electric heat."..."Dust can't hurt you, it's not rocks, and if it's active on radios, seriously, who uses them anymore?"

    "Nuclear winter is like saying an ice chest will cause summer. It makes no sense."

    Trump says we had nuclear blasts in Nevada in the 50's and it helped create good jobs in America, and showed the world we weren't afraid to use them.

    Trump also said he doesn't believe any of the so called underground nuclear tests happened or proved anything about nukes. "They were fakes, I saw it on Alex Jones". devil

    To prove his point on safety and common sense, he would demand Rick Perry's first job at the Energy Department would be to set off a really big nuclear bomb. Trump wants to do it just off Mar-a-Lago in February or March.

    If it doesn't work Trump claims it would prove he was 100% correct, our nukes are old and decrepit.

    If it does work he would consider it as a fluke and would need to test more to be sure.

    Trump says if the bomb explodes it would make a wonderful spectacle and if done off Mar-a-Lago would be a fantastic sight from there and the Florida coast for residents and tourists.

    Trump has blasted the concept that nukes or a nuke war could cause a winter.

    He says the winter is cold even in Florida and he believes a successful nuke blast would have the added benefit of showing he is 100% right - nukes will WARM UP Florida, not cool it off, as environmentalists, naysayers and so called experts say about blowing up nukes.  angry

    Trump says he is a smart person knows more about this than the nuclear scientists, and he has a mandate to blow up conventional beliefs, and he is excited to be able to prove it offshore from the southern white house.

    Oh wait! Not so fast... Now looky here.

    Did you just so happen to have miss this past Friday's News Dump??

    President Obama signs defense bill that could spur new space-based arms race

    President Obama has signed legislation that, by striking a single word from longstanding U.S. nuclear defense policy, could heighten tensions with Russia and China and launch the country on an expensive effort to build space-based defense systems.

    --snip--

    Huge bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress approved the policy changes over the past month, with virtually no public debate.

    Although the White House had earlier criticized the changes, it stopped short of threatening a veto. On Friday, Obama signed the legislation.

    Congress passed the Bill with veto proof numbers. We can spend hundreds of billions on star wars but that 10 billion subsidy for health care for the working poor must go, as must the plutocracy perpetuating estate tax.

    I recall Theodore Postol from MIT leading critic of missile defense. For one thing, most tests occurred at a target coming east across the Pacific as the sun set behind the target with no decoys. 1/2 missed under ideal conditions.

    Obviously things will change on Jan 20th. All missile interceptors will be moved to Mar-a-Lago after Trump bombs some nation somewhere.
