In a televised meeting with his Security Council in Moscow on Wednesday, the Russian leader responded to the announcement that the U.S. would "immediately" resume tests.
On the plus side: Building and maintaining a nuclear stockpile is extremely expensive. This will serve as yet another open, gushing tap on Russia’s finances as they haemorrhage money from the war.
I don’t think this is a good deal for the US. It costs them equally much, and China will also gain the “official” opportunity to make nuclear tests, a field where they don’t have as much experience as the US the the regional power Russia.
While the US budget is financially in freefall, that could be remedied very easily (with a more competent administration) and won’t meaningfully impede its ability to aid Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, can be screwed by extreme expenses.

China wolnt waste the money. They’ll have all the US test data and probably most of the Russian.
Did you mean the US’s gushing Tap. They racked up another trillion this year. Its now over 38 Trillion
