Trump Ally Calls for Open-Air Nuclear Bomb Testing

Quick Summary:

Robert Peters, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind the highly controversial Project 25, argued in a recent article "that the US must be ready to test nuclear weapons at the Nevada National Security Site within 3-6 months of being ordered to conduct a nuclear explosive test".

  President Donald Trump's allies are arguing that the United States should resume nuclear weapons testing to send a message to its adversaries.

"Needless to say — except, apparently, for Bob and those who share his single-minded but retrograde point of view — such a monumental reversal would be foolish and dangerously counterproductive, (giving carte blanche to every other nuclear-weapon state) environmentally destructive, and hugely expensive," Schwartz wrote.
