The US Airforce has a plan to replace the current ICBMs in the 2030s. There is time to negotiate this

Chip making is a dirty process using lots of toxic chemicals.

STANDING next to lady in black/white checkered dress....

I wasn’t the Strategic Reserve refilled.

[Reily]

I assume you are asking “ Why wasn’t filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.” On the list?

Good question!
That seems important to me!

[ridesthemiles]

I WANT the reserve refilled

[dpetty121263]

5 years is a long time, the Minuteman 3’s are very dated technology as we are approaching old Soviet era systems. If the Peacekeepers had been kept in service then we would be in a better spot...The payloads granted have been maintained but that is all as nuclear material does expire.

[Palio di Siena]

Is that why he wants rare earth minerals from Ukraine

[ETCM]

That one worries me slightly. Unless you know for sure that your enemies aren’t doing it, why voluntarily put yourself at a disadvantage?

In context, he wasn't offering unilateral disarmament, but as a multilateral deal with Russia, China and the USA. I follow Libs of Tik Tok for funny memes and their trashing of unhinged leftists. They are a horrible source for hard news.

“No need for producing or stockpiling new nuclear weapons“

Implied: we may need to get rid of the old inventory first - the quick way.....

[PIF]

- Not concerned about countries shifting business to China [ Made in America now art thing oft the past

- Wants talks on military spending cuts with Russia & China [ US comes out the loser since we spend many times what they do ]

- No need for producing or stockpiling new nuclear weapons [ both Russian and China are ]

47 is now officially off the deep end and sinking fast.

DU is calling you home!

[freepersup]

WHICH press conference? LOL!

[freepersup]

HELLO? McFLY?

P Trump is a pragmatic thinker.

He surmises that China is spending 400 million on defense, Russia is spending a known but undisclosed amount on defense, and the US is spending 950 million on defense, per year, and if THEY could reach some agreements and take it down a notch or two, then maybe... they all 3 could spend more of that money on their own country’s citizens and well being.

Just saying... THIMK! [ sic ] LOL!

The first implosion device was at the Trinity site in NM.

I’ve been at the White Sands Momument a number of times, I lived in NM for 14 years.

I never went to the Trinity Site.

"I disagree on the nuclear weapons produce\stockpile comment.

Nuclear weapons age and go from ready to not useable to possibly dangerous to store over time. They need to be kept ready and be replaced on an as necessary basis.

I suppose you only need as many as required to be absolutely certain they accomplish what is required at their designated target. If you're only confident that one in three will succeed, than you might have to set aside and maintain a few spares.
