Russia Accuses US of Violating Treaty With Nevada Nuclear Test
Russia Accuses US , of Violating Treaty With , Nevada Nuclear Test.
On October 20, Russia told state media outlets that
it is closely monitoring experiments conducted by
the United States at a nuclear test site in Nevada.
'Bloomberg' reports that the Department of Energy (DOE)
said the October 18 tests were conducted in order to , "validate new predictive explosion models." .
According to the DOE, the models can be
used to help detect atomic blasts occurring
in other countries, even deep underground.
Corey Hinderstein, deputy administrator for
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation at the National Nuclear
Security Administration, said the U.S. test was meant to , "advance our efforts to develop new technology
in support of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals.".
Russia's Interfax News Agency said that Dmitry Peskov,
the Russian presidential press secretary, told the press
that Moscow was aware of and monitoring the situation.
Russia's Interfax News Agency said that Dmitry Peskov,
the Russian presidential press secretary, told the press
that Moscow was aware of and monitoring the situation.
Earlier, the Federation Council [of the
Federal Assembly of Russia] stated that
the underground tests on October 18
in Nevada should be given an international
legal assessment, since the United States
is a signatory to the Comprehensive Nuclear
Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and is obliged
to refrain from violating this agreement, Via Interfax.
Fox News reports that the timing of the U.S. test is notable, as it
comes directly after Russian lawmakers announced their plan
to revoke Moscow's ratification of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
.
While the treaty, which bans all nuclear explosions
across the entire planet, was adopted in 1996,
it has never been fully enforced.
In a recent address to reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred to the United States as an âenemy,â signalling a potential hardening of Moscow's rhetoric. While it remains uncertain if this language reflects an official change in policy, Peskov emphasised that only President Vladimir Putin can make such determinations. The Kremlin spokesman's comments were partly in response to Washington's refusal to allow former US Marine, UN weapons inspector, and RT contributor Scott Ritter to travel to St. Petersburg. Peskov described this as âthe latest manifestation of the rabid campaign to prevent US citizens from interacting with the Russian Federation.â He suggested that such a refusal would only be âunderstandableâ if it were related to Ritter's former intelligence status. âWe are now an enemy country for them â much like they are for usâ Peskov stated, noting that travel restrictions on former intelligence officers to hostile countries are common worldwide.

Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense

subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,

The Russia-North Korea defense pact signals a significant shift in global power dynamics, challenging stability in East Asia. This alliance complicates U.S. efforts to isolate North Korea and may accelerate Pyongyang's military capabilities. China faces a dilemma, potentially losing influence over North Korea to Russia. The pact's ambiguity raises concerns about miscalculation. International responses must balance firm resolve with openness to dialogue, prioritizing diplomacy to address root causes of tension while maintaining commitment to denuclearization and UN resolutions.

The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonmentâs security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.

How You Can Cut Energy Costs , With a New Reflective , 'Cool Roof'.
LifeHacker recently reported on the benefits
of installing a new cool roof, including
keeping monthly utility costs down. .
A cool roof reflects more sunlight from the
surface of your roof, which helps to keep
your house cool when temperatures rise. .
This is usually done with lighter
colored materials, but can also
incorporate materials designed
to reflect infrared light without
changing the roof's appearance. .
According to the U.S. Department of Energy,
this type of roof can bring the exterior temperature
of a roof down about 50 degrees on a hot day.
This can help bring the interior temperature
of a home down to safer levels,
even without air conditioning.
LifeHacker points out that the price of installing
a new cool roof is similar to a traditional roof,
which is already a costly investment.

This includes everything from shingles coated in an
IR reflective coating for steep roofs, to light-colored
single-ply membranes for low-slope roofs.
Other approaches involve reflective mineral
coatings or layers of reflexive marble.
Green roofs, or living roofs, which are one of the most
sustainable types of roof, are another option for reducing
interior temperatures, however, the cost can be prohibitive

The Group of Seven âlikelyâ abandoned the US plan to expropriate Russiaâs frozen central bank assets due to a âveiled threatâ from Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg has reported. The US and UK had been pushing for outright seizure of around $280 billion in Russian sovereign funds, which the West had frozen in 2022 citing the Ukraine conflict. The EU, where most of the immobilised assets are held, was reluctant to see the euro endangered by the possible backlash.

The app will be revealed at the

While Apple already offers password
services via the iCloud Keychain.
it can be tedious to find
or change passwords with it.
A dedicated passwords app would make the whole process easier and likely encourage some people to stick with Apple.
Similarly to subscription password managers 1Password and LastPass, Apple's app will
