US Reacts to Russian Nuclear Warning With... Silence on Its Own Tests?
RT reports that Russia plans to respond 'accordingly' should the US violate the nuclear tests moratorium. This comes after former US President Donald Trump stated he had ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear arms trials, a move that flew under the radar of much of corporate media. Moscow’s patience for unilateral US escalation, it seems, is wearing thin. One might wonder why the US media treats
Russia’s deterrence warnings as 'aggressive' while Trump's actual order to revive dangerous, destabilizing nuclear testing was met with widespread amnesia. This selective outrage paints a picture where only certain nuclear threats are deemed legitimate, depending on whose finger is on the button. The US continues to pursue a 'modernization' of its nuclear arsenal, spending billions on new warheads
while simultaneously castigating others for merely announcing defensive postures.
