November voters need to vote for peace in November. Nuclear annihilation won't stop SARS-CoV-2.
These tests have not been a matter of practice for 28 years. There is no reason to conduct this. The USA knows exactly what it needs to know for the national defense. Firing these bombs over Venezuela is idiocy. The same goes for Iran.
Trump is not asking about it, he is INTRODUCING it through a question.

The last full-scale underground test of a nuclear weapon was conducted at the Nevada Test Site in September 1992.
The Trump administration (click here) has discussed whether to conduct the first U.S. nuclear test explosion since 1992 in a move that would have far-reaching consequences for relations with other nuclear powers and reverse a decades-long moratorium on such actions, said a senior administration official and two former officials familiar with the deliberations.
The matter came up at a meeting of senior officials representing the top national security agencies May 15, following accusations from administration officials that Russia and China are conducting low-yield nuclear tests — an assertion that has not been substantiated by publicly available evidence and that both countries have denied....
Where is the Russian nuclear sub? It doesn't make sense that Venezuela needs oil.

The Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, (click here) warned on Saturday of retaliatory measures against the US if Washington causes problems for tankers carrying Iranian fuel to Venezuela.
“If our tankers in the Caribbean or anywhere in the world face trouble caused by the Americans, they [the US] will also be in trouble,” Rouhani said in a telephone conversation with the emir of Qatar, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported.
A flotilla of five tankers carrying Iranian fuel for gasoline-starved Venezuela is approaching the Caribbean, with the first expected to reach the country’s waters on Sunday, according to Refinitiv Eikon tracking data.
“Iran will never initiate a conflict,” Rouhani said. “We have always the legitimate right to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity and to serve our national interests, and we hope that the Americans will not commit an error.“...
Venezuela does not need domestic oil. The USA has become a menace in many countries in the world. It has the absolute worse outbreak of COVID-19 in the world and it shows no end to it in states outside the Tri-State area.

Washington imposed tough sanctions on PDVSA in 2019 and launched a strategy of “maximum pressure” this year to oust Venezuela’s President, Nicolas Maduro, extending sanctions to PDVSA’s main trade partner, Rosneft Trading, while making threats on other customers. Prior to sanctions, the United States was the biggest buyer of Venezuela’s oil.
Exports increased to 1.046 million barrels per day (bpd) last month from 960,000 bpd in January, according to the data. The U.S. Treasury gave buyers of Venezuelan oil until the end of May to wind down purchases.
PDVSA and its joint ventures exported 31 cargoes of crude and fuel last month. The country’s fuel imports decreased almost 8% in the same period to 163,000 bpd....
