Pentagon conducts 1st test of previously banned missile

This Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019 photoprovided by the U.S. Defense Department shows the launch of a conventionally configured ground-launched cruise missile on San Nicolas Island off the coast of California. The Pentagon said Monday the U.S. military has conducted a flight test of a type of missile banned for more than 30 years by a treaty that both the United States and Russia abandoned this month.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has conducted a flight test of a type of missile banned for more than 30 years byThe test off the coast of California on Sunday marked the resumption of an arms competition that some analysts worry could increase U.S.-Russian tensions. The Trump administration has said it remains interested in useful arms control but questions Moscow’s willingness to adhere to its treaty commitments.

Defense officials had said last March that this missile likely would have a range of about 1,000 kilometers and that it might be ready for deployment within 18 months. The newly tested cruise missile recalls a nuclear-armed U.S. weapon that was deployed in several European NATO countries in the 1980s, along with Pershing 2 ground-based ballistic missiles, in response to a buildup of Soviet SS-20 missiles targeting Western Europe. With the signing of the treaty, those missiles were withdrawn and destroyed.

We’re all gonna die!

This can't be good.

Arms race in full effect...Cold War 2

Yet insulin still costs $600 a vial

Wonder how much $$$ Raytheon has already made out of that treaty pullout... And how many drump branded hotels they stayed at before it was done.

Yes keep improving! We have a new technology use it

What could go wrong !!!!!!!

If you’re worried about a recession don’t worry, a new Cold War begins

Did it have a laser beam?

World war three anyone ! Trump pulling out of and not renewing nuclear prevention deals is putting the world at risk of accidentally starting a nuclear war.

At least Reagan wanted to get rid of the Cold War

KOLDNews not good....

Gotta keep the economy going some kind of way......

May as well pull out those old Pershing IIs while we are at it. I like Stranger Things and all thing, but I didn't need the shadow of nuclear armageddon returning from 1985, too.

Outstanding!!!! Huahhhh!!!! ✊🇺🇸

These people have made the world immeasurably more dangerous.

This is great news 🙄

Want do we have missiles that are banned for 30 years? How did wer find one so fast to test? Answer: wer always had them in defiance of the treaty.

Maybe we can all die in a trump fantasy, he is crazy stupid

Joy to the world for war is come

Well God said the world will end by fire. I know I'm headed to Heaven so bring it on! KeepAmericaGreat2020

And I was just saying to myself, 'I sure miss the Cold War.'

It just happened to be ready to go, huh

Wow right off the shelf....

Sweet, the cold war is back. This should be fun!

We're all gonna die. Now it's just a race between nukes & climate. And all self-inflicted by white nationalism.

Science: climate change will kill us all. America and Russia: not if we do 1st
