I would sure like to know how many nuclear warheads we have today, and how many are actually ready to be used in case of an attack.

The warning signs with this guy are full on red alert.

The US military should OWN outer space so no other power on this planet can threaten our country. To unilaterally abdicate this position is treason. No more need be said.

The hot ones are probably pointed domestically at red states.

There is a program to refurbish the aging U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal. But many experts argue that the reliability of renovated warheads is unknown without testing. Russia faces the same problem. The nuclear test ban treaty forbids testing. Under Bush (43) the plan was to create a new generation of warheads which could be tested by computer model but some scientists argued the results would be questionable.

The problem with refurbishing old warheads is that the tooling for building the warheads no longer exists so the reliability of the refurbished product is unknown.
