The U.S. conducted a high-explosive experiment at a nuclear test site in Nevada hours after Russia revoked a ban on atomic-weapons testing, which Moscow said would put it on par with the United States.

Getting closer, can you feel it?

The test ban is basically a running joke at this point anyway. We spend billions simulating, exploding, compressing and studying. Might as well go a wee bit further and get the job done right.
