"It won't be replaced since the B-2 line was shut down a long time ago. The Air Force has much more pressing needs than replacing a single airplane with a 40% operational readiness rate."Just pull one of these out of the boneyard to replace it:

I think we only got 90 or so B-52s left, many of them were scraped and destroyed under the disarmament treaty we had with the Russians......

There wouldn’t be any B-52Hs at AMARC (Boneyard). Minot AFB has an attrition reserve of B-52Hs.

Just pull one of these [B-52s] out of the boneyard to replace it... No problema! Cuanto? We have dos or tres of las bombas down here in Tucson, amigo.

Just pull one of these out of the boneyard to replace it: I think that's an -H model. None of those in the bone yard, AFAIK. However about 1/3 of the B-1s are in the bone yard, pull a couple of those, assuming they haven't all been too cannibalized for parts, to replace the lost stealth.
