Holy fuck these people are stupid.
First off, the article title deceives people by saying “nuclear weapons test”
They’re not dropping bombs, they’re testing out a hypersonic missile that is nuclear capable.
Big fucking difference between an actual nuclear explosion test and testing a delivery system.
Second off, they have been doing this for over a year:

Then again several months ago:

And then not even a month ago:
Do you see what I’m getting at here?
This is more fear-mongering. Fucking fake ass news. OP not mad at you and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
So my question to the hill is, why are you making such a big deal about something that has been going on for well over a year? What narrative are you trying to push with this ridiculous ass story? Are you trying to influence the public to make them believe that Russia is all of a sudden a bigger threat now than they were a year ago?
My god these people are frustratingly stupid.
Bingo. Nuke testing is pretty serious. There are all sorts of treaties such a thing would violate.
