Obama-Val-Iran-N Korea are testing their
US-taxpayer-paid NUKES.

The accursed GOP? Paid for this in advance, just like

I have high hopes that the Korean peninsula will eventually unite. Old generals die hard but they do die, kim makes sure of that,, no nappy for you.

Yep, before America becomes great again. You know "they" (i.e., our enemies) are thinking this way too. :(

I dunno 'bout that...

Looking around and found this:

"The largest underground thermonuclear tests conducted by the US were detonated in Amchitka at the western end of the Aleutian Islands and the largest of these was the 5 megaton codename Cannikin test which occurred on November 6, 1971. Cannikin had a body wave magnitude of 6.9"
