#Macron announces he will "order an increase in the number of #nuclear #warheads" held by #France

"The advanced deterrence proposed to our European partners strengthens collective security," the former Minister of Defense Sébastien Lecornu insists.

So far, Russian officials said, there has been no response from Washington on a proposal by #Putin to extend the limits of the treaty beyond expiry.

Arms control supporters in Moscow & Washington say the expiry of the treaty would not only remove limits on #warheads but also damage confidence, trust & the ability to verify #nuclear intentions.

Matt Korda, associate director for the #Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, said that if there were no agreement to extend the treaty's key provisions, neither #Russia nor the #UnitedStates would be constrained if they wanted to add yet more #warheads.

…The #Oreshnik is capable of carrying #nuclear as well as conventional #warheads, although there was no suggestion of any nuclear component to the latest attack.

A senior #Ukraine official told Reuters that the missile struck a state enterprise in the western city of #Lviv & was likely carrying inert or "dummy" warheads - as in 2024, when #Russia first fired it to test the weapon in #war.

North Korea displays new ICBM during parade with Russia's Medvedev in attendance

The parade, attended by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and United Russia party leader Dmitry Medvedev, featured a display of advanced weaponry.

The Kyiv Independent

In response to the #global_threats and the perceived inadequate handling of them by governments, we have decided to implement our own DIY Resonance-NE Radar for the early detection of ballistic #warheads, cruise and hypersonic #missiles and enemy #drones and #aircraft (including stealth aircraft). This will enable us to take appropriate measures ourselves.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Nuking an asteroid (2024 YR4), what an excellent idea!

It's not as if the Moon or the Earth were endangered by the asteroid, it'd pose danger to metallic mosquitoes and hominids in spacesuits that weren't even supposed to be fussing there in the first place.

...Oh noes, it'd pose danger to all shareholders investing in corporations that rely on space apparata to continue enslaving humans!! Couldn't you think of our brave shareholders and capitalists, fellow cosmos and 2024 YR4 asteroid?!

On the bright side, we would get rid of those pesky
#warheads if the practice were to be extended to whatever #asteroid, #meteor or #meteorite daring to endanger capitalist... I mean... human activities, yay! Just Don't Look Up whenever you hominids do it...

Anytime you will, Department of
#War... I mean... #Pentagon and #NASA...
