The US fired a Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) early Wednesday, after President Trump called for restarting the nuclear weapons tests.

Air Force Global Strike Command launched the GT 254 nuclear-capable missile from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, with the test going off without a hitch.

The unarmed rocket landed near the Army’s Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site in the Marshall Islands.

Just to remind us that we're always a few minutes away from 1 billion of us dieing in the cleansing fire of nuclear armageddon and another 5 billion dieing of starvation and exposure.

That’s exactly how I felt when I opened the Waffle House Prairieville thread.

technically, we aren't.
we tested an unarmed rocket.

but that doesn't sound as cool as "testing nukes" does.

Trump flex for the rising war climate. It does look awesome.

Marshall Islands history wiki, interesting read.

We test at least one of these every quarter. Without a warhead.

This is a fake news reframe in action.

Eta: or possibly an intentional reframe by Trump.

Either way. New framing not new news.

A typo I can overlook we all do it. Misspelling "dying" twice in a post is odd. That's a first.

89 seconds to midnight.

May as well hold off on paying most of your bills.
