Santa Barbara, CA \u2013 The U.S. Air Force launched an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile Tuesday morning, August 4, at 12:21 a.m. PDT from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The missile traveled over 4,200 miles to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Air Force Global Strike Command asserts that missile tests are scheduled years in advance, it is difficult to ignore the timing of this test \u2013 less than 48 hours before the 75th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Wayman, CEO of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, a non-profit based in Santa Barbara committed to solving the most dangerous technological, social, and psychological issues of our time, including the abolition of nuclear weapons, commented on the missile test. He said, \u201cThis week, the majority of the world is solemnly remembering the 75th<\/sup> anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and vowing that such a thing will never happen again. Hundreds of thousands of our fellow human beings were indiscriminately slaughtered by two primitive U.S. atomic bombs in August 1945. The weapon that was tested this morning is designed for far greater damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayman went on to say that \u201cThe unnecessarily provocative test by the U.S. today is an important reminder that the nuclear threat remains very real, and that there are people in this country \u2013 along with a few other countries \u2013 who are willing to sacrifice us all in a battle that can never be won and must never be fought.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
