Just like the title says, I don’t understand how they can test nuclear bombs in the desert, or Bikini Atoll (in the ocean) without permanently irradiating the ecosystem (and consequently, Earth) beyond repair.
They’ve tested dozens and dozens of nuclear bombs throughout the years, and I’m confused why that hasn’t messed our world up?

The don’t.
Any human action has impact on the environment, and nukes are pretty significant.
At the same time, radiation is not the comic-book effect that we are lead to believe in by tv and movies.
In general when you are doing military experimentation, preserving the enviroment is not a priority.
Probably if people thought that preserving the planet is more important than exercising military pressure…
Nah i’m joking, it’s obviously more important to keep your neighbours in check with offensive prowess, keeping them underdeveloped, afraid and full of rancor. It’s not like we have experienced the fallacy of this strategy for the last five to ten thousand years, nor is it reasonable to think that we are all on the same boat, with the same needs and more opportunities to change for the better if we work together.
