Trump just released a major news: He has ordered the United States to immediately restart nuclear tests! He also said, "I hate it but there's no other choice."

Don't think this is just an internal matter for the United States. Once the US starts this, other countries may follow suit and restart nuclear tests! In that case, all of humanity will face three unavoidable disasters! Today, let's clarify this issue. After watching, you'll definitely feel a chill down your spine!

First disaster: Ecological catastrophe! The terror of nuclear radiation has already given us answers in history!

France conducted nuclear tests in the South Pacific for a full 30 years! Nearly 200 nuclear explosions turned a paradise into a "death zone." From 1966 to 1974, 46 above-ground nuclear tests directly caused 110,000 people to be exposed to nuclear radiation. That was almost the entire local population at the time! The former governor once mentioned a detail: someone went fishing by the sea, and when he returned, his skin peeled off in patches, eventually being placed in a coffin for burial! Even more terrifying is that in 25 years, over 9,000 cancer cases were found in the area!

Moreover, nuclear pollution is impossible to stop; it can spread worldwide through soil, water, and air. Fish in the ocean and the vegetables we eat might be contaminated, even affecting future generations! This kind of destruction cannot be recovered for decades!

Second disaster: The risk of nuclear war soars! Is the nightmare of the Cold War about to return?

Nuclear tests are the starting gun for arms races! In 1949, the Soviet Union detonated an atomic bomb, and the US and USSR immediately fell into a frenzy of competition. By 1953, the US had 1,436 atomic bombs, and the Soviet Union caught up to 120. Hydrogen bombs became increasingly fierce, eventually reaching a point where "you bomb me, I bomb you, and we all end up destroyed"!

If countries restart nuclear tests now, the consequences would be even worse: everyone would rush to build nuclear weapons, and advanced nuclear weapon technologies would spread everywhere, possibly lowering the bottom line of nuclear deterrence! Worse still, with artificial intelligence and network technology available, if AI misjudges a nuclear signal or a nuclear facility is hacked, the nuclear button might be triggered by mistake! At that point, it won't be a joke anymore!

Third disaster: Global nuclear order collapses! Will non-nuclear states remain calm?

The 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty of Nuclear Weapons was originally a "shield" for global nuclear safety, preventing everyone from making nuclear weapons and causing chaos! However, the US is now leading the way by breaking the rules and restarting nuclear tests, which will inevitably cause other nuclear states to follow suit. Who would want to abide by nuclear disarmament commitments anymore? More frighteningly, those countries without nuclear weapons will surely panic. They might secretly develop nuclear technology, wanting to "make their own nuclear weapons for security"!

Evidently, the current nuclear non-proliferation mechanism is already weak, and if major powers break the taboos again, all of humanity will suffer! France's nuclear tests harmed so many people, and they only compensated 63 civilians. That's the terrifying nature of nuclear hegemony. Rules are trampled upon, and the lives of ordinary people are worth nothing!

However, it's worth noting that China is unlikely to follow suit and restart nuclear tests. The core reason is that we have mastered advanced computer simulation nuclear test technology, allowing us to evaluate and optimize the performance of nuclear weapons without conducting actual nuclear explosions. This not only upholds the commitment to nuclear non-proliferation but also ensures the reliability of our own nuclear deterrent capability.

Trump said, "There's no other choice," but this is a dangerous game of using nuclear deterrence as a political bargaining chip! After the Cold War, Russia and the US reduced the number of nuclear warheads through negotiations, showing that talking things out can solve problems! A retired Russian general said well: "A nuclear war cannot be won and should not be fought." If it actually breaks out, no country will survive!

In conclusion, pressing the button for nuclear tests will result in no winners! If the US really starts this, it will not only damage its own reputation but also push all of humanity into a pit of fire! Nuclear safety is never just a single country's issue; it's a matter for all of us! Only by abiding by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and sitting down to talk seriously can we prevent such disasters from recurring!
