But if nuclear testing does restart, it would in a very perverse way solve nuclear policy world's funding crisis.

However no testing by DPRK since 2017 has kind off taken the wind out of old nuclear twitter. A lot has happened to be honest.
And I'm telling a very incomplete narrative.

Absolute peak years of old nuclear twitter (where many non pro and nuclear policy people became very active) coincided with much greater tempo of testing by North Korea now under kim jong un, it's slow attainment of ICBM capabilities.
Iran was also there in the background.

Intermittent tests by North Korea under kim jong il kind of kept non pro NGOs busy, however it was Iraq war and especially it's aftermath that gave us non pro crowd that we know today.

For example India's testing 1998, just when household internet was taking off was a big moment for non pro NGOs.

CTBT sort of took that away (without taking away the nukes)
Paul Musgrave once said that Nixon abolishing draft took the wind out of American anti war movement. CTBT did something same to non proliferation movement.
I'm not saying it's bad thing.

CTBT didn't get rid of the bomb (more countries have theme now than in 1996, and many more still want it) but it kind of pushed it into the background in mind of most people.
Nuclear testing (people forget how insanely regular it was) used to keep it nukes in front & center of people's mind.

Pakistan had more than a little bit to do with that failure. Somehow for some reasons pakistan convinced itself that Afghanistan as a failed state would be good for it.

This is true for great deal Bluesky discourse as well. Things have become so fragmented across social media now that unless one is ultra hyper online, you're not going to know what right/left/centre is on about most of the time
