Some critics say checking the reliability of the new designs is likely to require underground testing, violating the ban and inviting other nations to do the same, thereby endangering American security.

Am I the only one here who wonders whether these unnamed "critics" really exist?

I am sure they exist, and that they are died in the wool socialists. The American nuclear arms are directly in the way of their path to a new socialist utopia.

Critics of testing, or critics of our nukes? I believe if substantial changes in the fuzing desing are being contemplated, then the underground program should be restarted too, and BTW anyone else who needs to test will do so regardless of the treaty. How else are they gonna show us that they have joined the nuclear club?
