Trump Resurrects Nuclear Tests, Mainstream Media Yawns
RT reports that Donald Trump ordered the resumption of nuclear weapons tests, a move that would break a decades-long informal moratorium. This kind of hawkish escalation, if attributed to, say, Iran or North Korea, would ignite a firestorm of 'existential threat' headlines and calls for immediate intervention. From Washington? It's framed as 'modernizing' or 'deterrence' rather than a reckless
lunge toward global instability. This isn't about 'America First' exceptionalism; it’s about a deeply ingrained double standard. The United States, the only country to ever use nuclear weapons in war, consistently lectures other nations on proliferation while failing to abide by the spirit of disarmament itself. Where are the emergency UN sessions? The 'grave concern' statements from our allies?
Nuclear brinkmanship is only dangerous, apparently, if it's not made in America.
