The United States announced its readiness to conduct the first nuclear tests of its weapons, to demonstrate the strength of Russia.

According to The Washington Post, the United States of America intends to test nuclear weapons for the first time in 30 years, demonstrating to Russia and China a readiness to use nuclear weapons if necessary.

“This week, The Washington Post, citing informed sources, said the United States had discussed the possibility of conducting its first nuclear test since 1992. According to the publication, this issue was raised last Friday at a meeting of US officials from departments and ministries involved in national security issues, during which no agreement was reached on a nuclear test. One official told the newspaper that discussions were still ongoing, while another source said that "it was finally decided to take other measures to respond to threats from Russia and China, while avoiding the resumption of nuclear tests." The newspaper confirmed that the National Security Council at the White House declined to comment on this information. ", - reports the Al-Masdar News edition.

It should be clarified that at present, most of Washington’s actions are aimed only at complicating relations with the rest of the world, however, experts note that both Moscow and Beijing have enough funds to demonstrate their readiness to respond to such attacks and provocations, including including through tests of their own nuclear weapons.
