They've been doing this for a long time. Subcritical experiments
Trump administration turns its back on global public opinion with first subcritical nuclear test
We get mini earthquakes.

If we get a modernized deterrent force out of it... but does it even matter when they let armies of illegals across the border.

As Kiteh said, subcriticals are not out of the ordinary.

I don’t really understand was it a nuclear test ? On the twitter of defconwarningsystem they said it wasn’t and might be dumb but can someone explain me how can we determine if it was with seismic reports ?

There was no nuclear explosion. They where testing the implosion device from my understanding. Which is just conventional explosives shaped into a sphere.

It's what triggers a chain reaction but no core was inside the implosion device which means no chain reaction = no nuclear explosion.
