An official Twitter account run by the United States military posted and then deleted a video on Monday bragging about dropping massive bombs.
The tweet, which was posted as Americans get ready to ring in the New Year, noted that the ball was set to drop in Times Square when the clock strikes midnight late Monday.
The tweet by U.S. Strategic Command then goes on to brag: ‘If ever needed, we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger.’

The video in the tweet cuts to a shot of a stealth fighter jet dropping what appear to be two thermonuclear bombs
The B-2 Spirit, which was manufactured by the defense contractor Northrop Grumman, is a strategic heavy bomber capable of deploying both conventional and thermonuclear bombs
The B-2 Spirit is the only known aircraft in the world that is capable of carrying large air-to-surface weapons in a stealth configuration. The image above from the clip shows one of the weapons dropped by the aircraft
While it is unclear what it was the tweet meant by ‘something bigger,’ many on Twitter interpreted it to mean nuclear bombs
The video in the tweet cuts to a shot of a stealth fighter jet dropping what appear to be two thermonuclear bombs.
The clip includes flash words describing the jet, which is ‘stealth, ready, and lethal.’
The tweet includes the hashtags ‘peace is our profession,’ which is the slogan of Strategic Command.
The video then ended with the logo which read ‘Whiteman’ - a reference to Whiteman Air Force Base.
Users on Twitter were angry for what they said was the military’s making light of the use of such a destructive weapon during a festive time
'Strategic Command helpfully reminds world it could still annihilate everyone before midnight,' tweeted Gizmodo
Sam Vinograd, a national security analyst for CNN, tweeted: 'US Strategic Command should be strategic about its communications, especially when other nuclear armed countries are itching for a fight. Who approved this tweet and then it’s deletion?'
Another Twitter user wrote: 'Such an irresponsible tweet. Tweeting about a nuclear bomb drop.'
Tim Miller wrote: 'If you missed it since the tweet is now deleted, US Strategic command decided to tweet about war and death on NY eve with a ww3 masturbatory fantasy video.'
Another Twitter user thought the post was 'disturbing' and 'terrifying'
Doug Saunders sarcastically tweeted: 'While you’re celebrating with your family and friends, we’d like to remind you that we can and would end all life on earth. Love and kisses, Strategic Command.'
The base, located near Kansas City, Missouri, is home to the 509th Bomb Wing which operates the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
That was the plane seen in the video.
The B-2 Spirit, which was manufactured by the defense contractor Northrop Grumman, is a strategic heavy bomber capable of deploying both conventional and thermonuclear bombs.

Robert Boyle thought it was inappropriate for the military to be tweeting 'jokes about starting nuclear Armageddon on New Year's Eve.'
Another Twitter user wrote: 'Such an irresponsible tweet. Tweeting about a nuclear bomb drop.'
USSTRATCOM later apologized for the tweet. 'Our previous NYE tweet was in poor taste & does not reflect our values,' the command tweeted in response to the Twitter backlash. 'We apologize. We are dedicated to the security of America & allies.'

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
