Nuclear Hypocrisy: The U.S. and Atomic Tests
June 10, 1998
In May, India detonated five nuclear bombs underground. That country’s neighbor, Pakistan, followed with several nuclear tests of its own. The United States, along with many other countries, reacted swiftly to denounce the blast. But even as U.S. officials scold India and Pakistan, the United States military continues to spend billions of dollars on nuclear weapons research and technology.
