Wasn’t there reports a few weeks ago saying most of US nuclear weapons are unstable/unpredictable?
I don't know the extent of it, but it's been known since at least the Obama admin that US missile command is understaffed and has massive morale problems. Inspections have found vault doors propped open because they've been broken for months, many systems still rely on computers from the 1960s to function, random tests have a high failure rate which might be a coincidence or it might mean that the whole missile fleet is falling apart. It would be better for us and the whole world if we just dismantled the whole program before something tragic happens.
The US hasn't had the plutonium reserves necessary to maintain or replenish nuclear weapons since 1989. There's only one uranium enrichment facility in the US and nearly their entire output is already booked for nuclear power.
The basic design of nukes haven't changed since the early 1960s. The only things new are guidance systems and how they can toggle yield before detonating. They're also bigger
God, knowing that would make me sleep better at night if not for the fact that
has nukes and is probably willing to take the whole world down with them
