2 nukes tested. 1 agreement broken.

Not 1, but 2 hydrogen bombs exploded today over the Kara Sea. The Soviets are testing their weapons, hoping to build a bomb 4,000 times more powerful than the one used by the US over Hiroshima in WWII. Along with 4 other countries, the USSR agreed to stop testing five years ago. Why start again now, Soviets? Is it because we Americans have way more bombs than you?
