FOX News: US conducts nuclear test in Nevada hours after Russian move to revoke global test ban
The test came hours after Russian lawmakers said they plan to revoke the ratification of a global nuclear test ban treaty
The U.S. conducted a high-explosive experiment at a nuclear test site in Nevada hours after Russia revoked a ban on atomic-weapons testing, which Moscow said would put it on par with the United States.
Wednesday's test used chemicals and radioisotopes to "validate new predictive explosion models" that can help detect atomic blasts in other countries, Bloomberg reported, citing the Department of Energy.
"These experiments advance our efforts to develop new technology in support of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals," Corey Hinderstein, Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation at the National Nuclear Security Administration, said in a statement. "They will help reduce global nuclear threats by improving the detection of underground nuclear explosive tests.

I never thought I would ever say I miss Donald Trump. None of this would be happening.
It is said Trump is egotistical. And Biden is not? Take a look at the clip below.
1988 Road to the White House with Sen. Biden
"In this clip from 1988, Joe Biden becomes irate with an interviewer, interrupts him and proceeds to boast about his intelligence and academic achievements. He mentions how he was the only one in his class in law school with a full academic scholarship and boost about his awards and degrees."
Many if not most politicians are egotistical. My belief is that in a highly competitive endeavor if you do not have a strong or bigger than a average ego, you get squished.
I figure Trump's big ego was an asset. It make shim indefatigable. Obstacles do not stop him. Massage his ego and he will do things like Build a border wall. Ticker tape parades, statues and what not are small price to pay.
For all his ego Trump listened. When people complained about the border wall, he turned on a dime and said that we would put in "beautiful doors". I figured Trump would get amnesty to the illegals, but only after the wall a was built and effective.
If Republicans and Democrats got together for a repeat of the 1986 amnesty, we would get the quid (amnesty) part, but not the quo (wall) part. One to two thirds of Republicans would let themselves be rolled like weakling cowards. Democrats would laugh.
Trump is the only one, who could get the quid and quo done. I miss Trump, too.
Joe is Grifter. Mr. 10%. Sold us out to Romania, Russia, China Ukraine and who knows who else. Likes to sniff hair and shower with his daughter.
Test it in Moskva. Win Win.
Imagine the news if Trump did this.
ATLANTA — Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, a deal in which he will avoid jail time and agreed to provide evidence that could implicate other co-defendants, including Trump himself.
Chesebro was the second former Trump lawyer to accept a plea deal in the sprawling conspiracy case in as many days. The guilty plea came in just hours after jury selection began, ahead of an expected trial next month.
a clip[ from 1988?
oh my. can't you find something earlier. this one is so late in a man's career.
A clip from 1988.
1) The man has not changed.
2) You are going to be a real fucker. The kind that has to hind behind a keyboard. Keep hiding schmoe.
We can get them from the 1970s, 1990s, the aughts , and Obama's time.
DIM-o-crats went all the way back to Romney's high school days and family vacations.
But if you are not a punk ass Democrat, I suggest you enlist in the Russian army. A Russian mechanized brigade got wipe by Acdiivka. The Russian are going to need a whole brigade of back fill. Some German bloggers said it was the 21st of something that was on lone form the Kherson front. Well they are not on loan now. The Kherson occupiers are going to have to hoof it from here on out
