US May Have Given Russia Green Light to Test Nuclear Weapons
The United States conducted a high-explosive subsurface chemical explosion at a nuclear test site in southern Nevada this week, a move that could prompt Russia to test its own nuclear weapons.
Washington conducted the underground test on Wednesday to improve its ability to "detect low-yield nuclear explosions around the world," the U.S. Department of Energy, which maintains the country's inventory of more than 5,000 nuclear weapons, said in a press release.
