1. Good!

I wonder what they will substitute for the test? Or if they ever needed it at all, and it was just meant to be a demonstration to the international community?

At any rate, good! For the people who live in the area, and for all of us. The wind carries that dust everywhere.

2. Thank GOD! Let's hope these fuckers aren't lying like before...

when they said this wasn't a simulation to predict how RNEP would affect a bunker.

3. "Divine Strake"?

It strikes me as very chilling that bomb tests by the United States would carry such an overtly religious name. Against whom would such a weapon be used? No metaphor of the Crusades there, right?

And what is a "strake," anyway? I rather imagine an air strike that rakes the ground clean for many miles around. :shiver:

4. A strake is a part of boat (planks or plates)

Nautical. a continuous course of planks or plates on a ship forming a hull shell, deck, etc.

5. They say the test is canceled.

I hope they aren't going to use it in a live test elsewhere. That thing is probably packed and on it's way. I don't trust them at all.
