      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.
