Will Shufflin' Joe keep the deterrence?
Doubt it.
What happened to the sub launched Tomahawk missile?
Bush give that away too? He stripped the rest of the navy of nukes.
“Will Shufflin’ Joe keep the deterrence?”
Probably not. There seems to be a pattern in this Administration - they continue to DESTROY our military, with cancellation after cancellation, overrun after overrun, yet ABSOLUTELY INSIST on getting us into as many wars as humanly possible (with Taiwan about to blow this week, thanks to them).
Of course, to the Chest-Beaters here, it doesn’t matter at all, because we are America, and therefore WE ARE INVINCIBLE!!!!
But to normal people - yes, this is something to worry about.
The REAL secret is retired weapon designers are worried about the W76 warhead.
The Pit was so small it was right on the edge of not working.
Instaled in Trident I 8x MIRV
Nuclear missiles on Trident submarines, the Ohio class seemed to be state of the art not that long ago. Did they scrap them all, and turn their capabilities into launching sun tan lotion, and butt plugs?
Don't have the credentials to debate the point, but for how long will the location of that leg remain unknown?
It is easy to imagine oceans flooded with submerged, difficult to detect loitering drones guided by informed satellites.
We had time to man up after Pearl Harbor, but perhaps not the next time. Is it possible that we may reach a point in time when it will be too late to fight a WWIII?
What will be first on the chopping block to pay the interest on the debt?
So we’re to pretend that there no door #4, nukes in space?
It is good that VADM Wolfe jr provided a refresher on what has been 50+ year old deterence policy; especially for those Congress who have never had anything other than their own corruption$$ in their minds.
However he needs to stop with the deepState delusion/idiocy that SEAsia/muslim GreatBritain, Sunak/Khan can be a part in US nuclear policy.

Burn the planet twice, yeah that’s a GREAT idea.
