        I need them to define years ago. Because Krasnov has been dying to nuke something, so i don’t buy for a second any “readiness” tests scheduled by him.

          GTs or “Glory tests” have been done quarterly for decades at this point, hence being on GT-255, with the first being 63 years ago when the Minuteman was new. They’re meant to show that we can pull any random sample of our ground-based ICBMs and they’ll function, along with collecting data on how the fleet performs as it ages, among many other things. They have nothing to do with Trump, fortunately.

        Maybe not world events of the last week, but certainly of the last century or so.

      They do that from time to time, so maybe it is unrelated.

      Anyway, some news org reporting it isn’t unrelated.

      Fair, I put a note in the headline, I can see how that might be a little bit of a jumpscare headline… one could argue it is the most jumpscare headline possible other than “ASTEROID INCOMING”.

    Maybe they should ha e perfected the nuclear deterrent system before starting a war with a potential nuclear power state? Just a thought…

      North Korea shit

      We’ve been planning and demonstrating launch capabilities since we’ve had them.

      We’ve always been one of those countries and we’ve been living in a Pleasantville propaganda bubble OUR ENTIRE LIVES.

        I really hope you guys receive the wake-up call and get your shit together. I really liked the pre-Trump USA, but now it’s down to one star.
