The Spin

Trump's nuclear testing order 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Secretary Wright confirms these sophisticated system tests will ensure America's replacement nuclear weapons surpass outdated versions, maintaining strategic superiority against nations violating testing moratoriums.

Trump's reckless nuclear testing threats risk destroying decades of nonproliferation progress and triggering a dangerous arms race. His unsubstantiated claims about secret foreign tests contradict monitoring systems, while experts warn resuming testing would prompt reciprocal responses from adversaries and destabilize global security.
