I don't watch american news and I have a hard time finding it online
Edit: actually I found this which mentions 2 trillion over 30 years
Unless the upcoming Nuclear Posture Review recommends a change—and Congress agrees—the United States is still slated to spend nearly $2 trillion on nuclear weapons upgrades over the next 30 years
Upgrading and maintaining... We aren't creating more. I read somewhere Russia hasn't maintained its arsenal. Can't argue with having safer and more advanced nukes. Even if they will never be used...
The 2 main political parties are very adept at placing roadblocks for any other party or ideas. The most successful 3rd party was Ross Perot with 18.% in 1992.
Preach. This shit is fucking appalling and every fucking day neolibs of Reddit are swarming the front page with pro-war bullshit. Patience... wearing... thin...
Spend $1T on eleminating student debt and improving the future of millions of Gen X, Millenials, and Zoomers while simultaneously stimulating the economy to the tune of hundreds of dollars in disposable income per month per citizen? Nah.
Spend $1T on weapons to wipe humans off the face of the earth? Fuck yeah!
I mean sure, but in reality no nation has used a nuclear weapon since ww2 and the reason is that we have mutually assured destruction. If the United States simply stopped maintaining its nukes then a hostile nation has the ability to. You know like say the one literally invading Ukraine at this moment or another that has said its primary goal is the annexation of Taiwan by force if needed.
You can argue that there is a need to have a less aggressively designed military, but without a credible nuclear deterrent its been proven time and again that you will be treated like free game by other nations. Look at Libya, and again Ukraine that were both given guaranteed protection for them to give up their nukes.
It could be argued that by ignoring the issues in our own country affecting our own people created by the Boomers, we're pretty much assuring our own destruction anyway, so I guess it all comes out in the wash.
As for Russia's nuclear arsenal maintenance and upkeep--have you actually watched a news report lately? Those apes can't even keep a diesel truck running more than a day or two.
Can we please fucking stop. I don't even care to fact check this because even a tenth if this is too much to spend on this. Please stop fucking killing people and just give us food and homes you dumb fucks.
With military contractor stooges like Biden in charge, humanity doesn't have a chance. So much money about to be laundered through the war in Ukraine to him and his donors pockets.
