Major Nuclear Test IslandsBikini Atoll (Marshall Islands): The United States forcibly relocated 167 native residents in 1946 to establish the Bikini Atoll Test Site. It was the site of 23 atmospheric detonations, including Castle Bravo in 1954—the largest U.S. nuclear test in history. It remains completely uninhabitable today due to high residual cesium-137 levels.Enewetak Atoll (Marshall Islands): Used for 43 U.S. nuclear tests, including Ivy Mike in 1952, which was the world's first successful hydrogen bomb blast. The explosion completely vaporized the island of Elugelab.Amchitka Island (Alaska, USA): Located in the Aleutian chain, this historically native Aleut island had no permanent population during the Cold War. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission conducted three massive underground tests here, including Project Cannikin in 1971—the largest underground nuclear detonation ever conducted by the U.S. (5 megatons).Kiritimati / Christmas Island (Kiribati): Used jointly by the United Kingdom and the United States. The British military conducted Operation Grapple here between 1957 and 1958 to cement its status as a thermonuclear power.Mururoa and Fangataufa Atolls (French Polynesia): France conducted 193 nuclear tests (both atmospheric and underground) on these remote Pacific atolls between 1966 and 1996, leading to severe geological fracturing of the coral reefs.Novaya Zemlya (Arctic Ocean, Russia): A remote, sparsely populated Arctic archipelago used by the Soviet Union for 224 nuclear detonations. This included the 1961 detonation of the Tsar Bomba (50 megatons), the most powerful artificial explosion in human history.Environmental & Human LegaciesThe Runit Dome: On Enewetak Atoll's Runit Island, the U.S. military constructed a 45-centimeter-thick concrete dome to seal away 111,000 cubic yards of radioactive soil and debris. Rising sea levels and structural cracking now threaten to leak plutonium directly into the Pacific Ocean.Downwind Fallout: Despite targeting "uninhabited" zones, unpredictable weather and massive blast yields frequently sent lethal radiation clouds over populated areas. For instance, the Castle Bravo test accidentally blanketed the inhabited Rongelap Atoll with pulverized radioactive coral, causing severe radiation sickness, cancers, and birth defects across generations.Altered Geography: Massive multi-megaton surface explosions permanently re-engineered local topographies, blowing entire islands off the map and carving out massive underwater craters that are still highly visible on satellite imagery today.
Incredible information MA., Depressing as hell...so it fits right in to all the current news. But seriously, Thank you so much for that information. I'm going to read up on this.
Oh and yes, I think sending all of them to those places would be appropriate, that said they will still be on this planet...why not bundle all of them up and I mean all of them. Use all the bazillionaires rockets and anything else that will successfully rid the planet of this virus...and shoot them all into space! And well... they take their chances on a successful takeoff, but that's all part of the excitement.
Go and Fucking colonize an asteroid with your Epstein class!
Puhleeeeze, AP, the upcoming astoundingly tacky UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn isn't part part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary; it's strictly a private ripoff, not to mention it's an illegal use of the property. I shall use my AP account to remind you of the fact.
This Celtics fan does NOT want the Knicks to lose because of bad Chump juju. However, I wouldn't mind if the game were a bit delayed because the boos are so overwhelming loud.
WOW. 46 Republicans killed an amendment to prohibit people who beat up cops or who have molested children from getting paid a reward from taxpayers. What if the amendment included "or assaulted Republicans"?
Trumps outrage and redness had me hoping he was about to blow an artery. Have been hoping to see it happen live, sad to not see it happen. Maybe next time, with any luck.
The Pratt situation (but he's so popular online! They must have cheated!) is the method they're going to use for the midterms. Pay attention. Tiedrich calls it "majority illusion". The bots and algorithms made him seem SO popular. It's all bullshit. Get ready.
I want Platner, who didn't actually touch women sexually, do you really care about texts? I care more about Collins supporting lunatic LePage and trump. C'mon guys, get real. I'd rather take a chance on him than go with the known shrewd Susan. We know who she is. After all, she did support Kavanaugh who did sexually violate at least one woman and lied to Collins about Roe. How can she criticize Platner?
Would that lesson learned re the Maine candidate be that your extreme anti-endorsement was based on a possibly fabricated story? The NY Times printed a story about a woman’s arm having been ”twisted” without mentioning that the writer (and/or storyteller, I didn’t get that straight) had been a Repub operative and former employee of Susan Collins.
Well, what did you expect, it’s the NYT. Maybe that rag doesn’t care about accuracy or bias anymore.
I thought (the day before?) you’d said something about never voting for him (or was it for someone who’ done what he did? I forget the specifics, but that was my takeaway. As I recall t was a strong statement. Then you said you’d learned your lesson. I just wondered what that lesson was. I had had a similar reversal after reading about who the writer of the Times article was. - I’m sorry you don’t like me as a reader. I’ve been a fan, so I’ll be sorry to break up wth you. I do have different newsletters, but they’re just not the same.
I’ve been known to say that Ivanka was a Temu Gwyneth Paltrow but maybe I had it turned around. Actually I can’t tell their rich, nepo, entitled bleach blonde asses apart. The only diff may be that Gwyneth is married to a decent person not an alien robot.
Maybe Alcatraz would be the perfect island for all of them.
Eewww. No. I don’t want them in California. Find somewhere else. How about Alligator Alcatraz?
We don’t want them here either! 🚷
Is there some uninhabited island somewhere, perhaps one that was used for nuclear testing in the past, that they could use?

Woah!
HAHA! Take your pick!!
I was thinking the same thing- you got to it first!!
Oh hell no! We don’t want those idiots anywhere near San Francisco Bay!!
I think you nailed it again, what a bad look that the president gets outraged when he’s faced with the truth
The truth to trump is equal to kryptonite to Superman or water to the wicked witch in The wizard of oz or holy water to the evil one! POOF!
That's a great one. He would vaporize

Boo him loudly until he leaves the game! 😡
Preferably BEFORE the game starts.
I agree. Delaying the game would be much better. Maybe even get Trump to leave early.
WOW. 46 Republicans killed an amendment to prohibit people who beat up cops or who have molested children from getting paid a reward from taxpayers. What if the amendment included "or assaulted Republicans"?
Guardians Of Pedophiles , I’d expect nothing less.
Hey D., They'd kill it anyway. So long as nothing directly touches them, they could care less.
If raping children, trafficking children, abusing, hitting, stealing, trafficking children is not a problem for them...nothing is.
So basically I'm being rather delusional to think they possess an ounce of humanity?
No D., Not delusional...rather big hearted. Nothing wrong with that!
Trumps outrage and redness had me hoping he was about to blow an artery. Have been hoping to see it happen live, sad to not see it happen. Maybe next time, with any luck.
Yea C., Kinda like that blood clot...it's taking too much time...I think we need to look into how the Borgias dealt with the problems that arose. lol
🙏🏼🤞🏽⚡️
Why doesn't he????
Pratt can barely wipe his own ass let alone lead a city like LA. He does not belong in such a role.
Hey AP., Neither does anyone else in the Regime...sigh
The Pratt situation (but he's so popular online! They must have cheated!) is the method they're going to use for the midterms. Pay attention. Tiedrich calls it "majority illusion". The bots and algorithms made him seem SO popular. It's all bullshit. Get ready.
They should be reminded that bots can’t vote.
Hopefully, but maybe in the world of musk & trump they can!

I am a lifelong Oregon and remember how awful the Packwood scandal was. Dude fell from grace at 90,000 feet without a parachute.
Finally, a reporter stands up to that assh-le. Thanks, Kristen Welker. Why is it always the women?

Salesman Ashley furniture- bahahaha
Trump ended the Knicks' winning streak (followed by a Popeye laugh.)
Thanks guys, great news page today!
Everything trump touches dies, including the Knicks win streak. Yje man is a curse to all that is good.
