“It’s just desert”
FUCK YOU
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Why do they need another one? Wasn’t the 20th century like one long arms race when a gajillion new bombs got tested? Did they lose the ones they were using in the past?
They’re not testing nukes…yet. They use it for training exercises like Red Flag (Google it).
Not defending, just explaining.
I gotcha, but I wasn’t referring to nukes, whose testing had to be stopped for the whole radioactive fallout reason. The 20th century was the age of conventional bombs - especially US bombs. So why do they need more space for testing them today than they did before??
I get they do training, but why can’t they train where they had before?
I don’t have answers for that. The NTTR is the largest range of its kind in the world, unsurprisingly.
Can’t help but think that the Dems think this is some kind of chess move that keeps this land in the hands of the gov’t, whereas the other side is probably happy to not be giving the people a public resource that they might get used to and want to defend. Also wouldn’t surprise me if later under a solidly GOP regime that the military says “we don’t actually want this land” vs the GOP goes “we tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” and sells it off like they really want.
They are bombing 8 countries now, when will it be enough? how much more land do you need to bomb?
