BREAKING: The Trump admin has discussed whether to conduct the first U.S. nuclear test since 1992

Can Pakistan also test a thermonuclear weapon demonstrating our capabilities to India?

wow Trump is getting more & more pathetic every day, all the time he keeps on bringing up new topics to try to distract the American people's attention away from his major f*** up in handling the pandemic, he is now near the end of his first term yet only now did he think of the need for a nuclear test during a pandemic? you need to be a colossal dumb@ss not to realise that the one & only reason why he wants a nuke test is for distracting the people's attention.

millions of Americans are losing their jobs while the billionaires are being bailed out, Americans want to have jobs in order to provide food on their table, yet dumb@ss Trump is talking about nuke tests! just wow, how shamefull, I understand that the American members on PDF prefer to defend Trump because he is their president & they would view any attack on Trump as an attack on the US, all the time you say the Chinese members here are brainwashed when they defend their president when he screws up, yet here you are doing the exact same thing, at least have the decency to call out you president when he clearly has his head deep inside his own back.

I did some digging, and apparently, USA has a long track record of mishandling/losing/etc their own nukes. USA has lost 8 nukes so far. Some having a capability of 3.4 megaton.

There was also a case where USA dropped a nuke on its own city by accident.

In one instance, USA nukes were transported by the plane, and the crew didn't even know they were transporting nukes. When they landed, the nukes were unguarded and still active for over 36 hours before someone noticed it. This was in 2007.

Overall USA had 54 incidents since 1950s of nuclear weapon accidents/misplacement/etc. Twice USA has violated the treaty because of these incidents. One was the cold war one, and the other one was with Japan. If you include civilian nuclear incidents, the total count would be 107 incidents since 1950s.
