The Kremlin on Thursday reacted cautiously to President Donald Trump's remarks about the resumption of nuclear weapons testing by the United States, saying that Russia had not tested but that Moscow would follow suit if Washington did.

Trump ordered the U.S. military on Thursday to immediately resume testing nuclear weapons after a gap of 33 years, minutes before beginning a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"President Trump mentioned in his statement that other countries are engaged in testing nuclear weapons. Until now, we didn't know that anyone was testing," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Peskov underscored that Russia's test of the Burevestnik cruise missile on October 21 and the Poseidon nuclear-powered super torpedo on October 28 were most definitely not nuclear weapons tests.

The really worrisome thing for Putin is that when Russians start to starve they turn to cannibalism. Which will likely occur this winter.

The Russian people all know who’s had the best food while they starved.

Our president is ignorant of the most basic, and critical national defense matters.

And nobody on his staff has the balls to correct and counsel him.

“Your president is Putin....”

Here we have proof of stupidity.

Now let’s examine your patriotic service:

Have you ever worn the uniform of the US? In what capacity?

Sure I do. But you can’t see it. Nor can you see a letter signed by Ronald Reagan thanking me for my service to him.

However, everyone reading this has a good idea about your cognitive capacities.
