News in the MSM that Russia is 'testing' nuclear weapons, seems to be testing the credulity of its readers, such as this BBC post:

President Donald Trump has called on US military leaders to resume testing nuclear weapons in order to keep pace with other countries such as Russia and China.

It seems that the MSM wants readers to believe that Russia is actually testing nuclear weapons (i.e. by implication exploding them, which is banned by treaty) and not what it is actually doing which is testing new nuclear weapon delivery systems - both missiles and underwater drones - that apparently also happen to be powered by mini nuclear reactors. 

At least Germany is worried, according to Yahoo News:

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Thursday urged the US and Russia to refrain from conducting new nuclear weapons testing, after US President Donald Trump announced plans to restart tests for the first time in more than 30 years.

"It is crucial that all five nuclear weapon states continue to adhere to the respective test ban moratoriums," Germany's top diplomat said in response to a journalist's question during a visit to Damascus.

"The test ban moratorium must be maintained," he stressed, including by North Korea, "the only country to have conducted nuclear tests in the 21st century."

Apart from the fact that the minister's math is suspect - FNN counts at least nine nuclear weapon states (USA, Russia, UK, France, China, North Korea, India, Pakistan and Israel) - but perhaps he means signatories to the moratorium treaty not nuclear armed states?

Anyhoo, expect that worry to fade if and when Germany gets its own nuclear weapons, maybe from Israel, a jagged little pill which would be rather ironic, don't you think?
