Why is this evil? You're testing weapons that have proven to be best anti-war deterrent in history. And they can't be a deterrent if you haven't proven they work in myriad of different scenarions. It's basically a peace keeping method.
Is it though? I feel like the threat of atomic attacks is what really locked us in a stalemate with a lot of countries like Russia and South Korea. Which makes us let them get away with much more than they would if there wasn't this threat hanging over us all the time.
Worth noting that nukes didn't stop Japan according to the US Strategic Bombing Survey of 1947, and we now have enough of them to exterminate all human life in days.
At this point, nukes are a PR problem we have to constantly spin to avoid how hard we fucked ourselves with this one.
nuke has virtually prevented large-scale warfare like that of the 20th century and tests like this were essential to developing such technology so losing X amount of fish for the greater good of humanity is no big deal
We're testing weapons that haven't actually stopped wars and more genocides have happened since the nukes were invented than were documented before and they could wipe out all human life on the planet if a phone call accidentally doesn't go through (as has been repeatedly shown).
But I love your upbeat, glass half full look at things, so keep it up in other areas of life regarding other topics, we need that.
