"The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country," he said in his social media post, later adding that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.”

Cheeto McFuckface can't ever not lie, or be factually correct. Ever. Even about nukes. Humanity is so fucked

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons lists Russia as having the most confirmed nuclear weapons — 5,449 to the United States’ 5,277. Together, the United States and Russia possess around 90% of all nuclear weapons.

That might not be lying though.

Cheeto might have accidentally said a quiet part out loud...

Because there's so much more to learn by blowing up more nuclear weapons .. those 1,054 already completed tests were clearly inconclusive ..

Why is "fucking" censored?

You know you can say fuck on the Internet, right? Especially when talking about the trump/Epstein files.

Fuck fuck fuckerdy fuck, it doesn't hurt anybody

Because it’s the “no king way,” it’s an additional joke

Why is "alleged" censored?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

it's a visual pun on aged. Still annoying

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 days ago

Sounds like we won't be testing anything since no one else is testing.

Just Wednesday dictator things...

I wonder if the missiles will be pointy on top

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I assure you the pointyness of the missile has no effect on its lethality
