The arm of the U.S. military responsible for America’s nuclear strike capabilities apologized for a Twitter message saying it was prepared to drop something “much, much bigger” than the New Year’s Eve ball in New York after the tweet sparked outcry.
In the tweet, which was posted as revelers around the country were preparing to usher in 2019 and was deleted three hours later, the United States Strategic Command said the nation was “ready to drop something much, much bigger” than the famous New Year’s Eve ball, and showed a clip of an aircraft releasing bombs.
