#1 It does not matter if you have the means if you lack the will.

#2 It's a good thing that the results were shared only with friendly nations; would not want the word to get out that the test was a success. Not like anybody would read this presser and understand that they need to beef up the sites so if it really happens it might not be a success.
Is there no limit to the stupidity of this administration? (rhet question, infinity also works in the negative direction on the number line)

#3 Depends. When we were in drawn out negotiations with the Chinese and Norks over the conflict in Korea, Eisenhower let leak the successful test firing of the atomic cannon, May 25, 1953. Armistice agreement 27 July 1953.

#4 BTW, Eisenhower had 'will' and 'backbone', which is somewhat in question with the contemporary Beltway managers.
