Trump's nuclear testing directive represents essential modernization to match adversaries who've been secretly testing for years. Energy Secretary Wright confirms these sophisticated system tests will ensure America's replacement nuclear weapons surpass outdated versions, maintaining strategic superiority through noncritical explosions that verify weapon functionality without mushroom clouds.

Experts warn this incoherent policy could trigger reciprocal testing by Russia and China, destabilizing global arms control when advanced computer simulations already verify weapon functionality without dangerous explosive tests that risk blowing apart international treaties.
