This announcement came on the same day the United States of Amerika dropped the Mother of all Bombs on Afghanistan, another "non-nuclear" test. You probably didn't hear much about it over the war propaganda against North Korea.

"The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and the U.S Air Force completed the first qualification flight test of the B61-12 gravity bomb March 14 at Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.

The non-nuclear test assembly was dropped from an F-16 based at Nellis Air Force Base. The test evaluated both the weapon’s non-nuclear functions as well as the aircraft’s capability to deliver the weapon.

This event is the first of a series that will be conducted over the next three years to qualify the B61-12 for service. Three successful development flight tests were conducted in 2015."

Maybe when they "qualify the B61-12 for service", they'll test it in Afghanistan, if Afghanistan is still there.

"Moreover, the West’s (non-existent) anti-war movement remains mum; nobody is challenging (or threatening) Washington for testing the functionality of America’s latest addition to its US nuclear arsenal of more than 7000 nuclear warheads: The new B61-12 (guided) gravity nuclear bomb, heralded as an instrument of peace and global security.

Needless to say, the development of the B61-12 is part of a multibillion dollar nuclear weapons modernization program funded by US tax payers.

The B61-11 and 12 are bunker buster (gravity) bombs with a nuclear warhead, slated to be used on a first strike basis under the doctrine of “pre-emptive” nuclear war against both nuclear and non-nuclear states."

We have three years to live, this proves it.
