Sure, I "get" that you may well be suffering some form of moral dysphoria, where you've lost contact with natural distinctions between right and wrong.
It happens, sadly, far too often these days, especially amongst our leftists, socialists, nihilistic communists, and such.
And as with gender dysphoria, moral dysphoria can lead a person to seek therapies and even moral-affirming surgeries, that can transition you from whatever nihilism bollixed your life into something more meaningful and purposeful.
Sadly, those affirmations don't always work and can leave a person stranded betwixt and between anything recognizable as consistent moral principles.
So, in case you are still confused -- Americans wear "white hats" while the New Axis of Evil Dictators (Russia, China, Iran, NoKo & others) wear "black hats".
Owen: "No, it’s not 1/3 “deployed”.
It’s 9400 in stockpiles ready for use.
That’s 2/3, and the remaining 1/3 await dismantling and retirement.
Stockpiled and ready for use means not already loaded on a nuclear capable jet, but could be in however long req’d.
Something like an hour or so."
Here are the numbers I'm reading.
"Deployed" is 1/4 to 1/3 of the total.
Those we can assume are in top condition.
"Reserve" & inactive numbers could be in pretty much any condition, since they don't have to be ready at a moment's notice and may never again be deployed.
Here's another look at those same numbers:
Owen: "This indicates acknowledgement of the need for replacement and the political obstacles to it.
This is not a matter of opinion.
It is delusion.
It is very dangerous for the US inventory to be doubtful, and replacement is the answer to this."
Sorry, but to me you sound confused.
So, I'm only guessing that you want to tell me: the US should always maintain our nuclear arsenals in tip-top ready-to-go condition, with technological upgrades and replacements as needed.
If that's your point, then of course we agree 100%.
