Nuclear weapons have a built in shelf life. They are only reliable for so long.
journalists are retarded and don't account for this, so every nuclear weapon ever is kept in the count.

Well, during the Cold War, one of the general expectation for both sides was a massive first strike, which could wipe out the enemy. The solution the military came up with was to have as many weapons as possible so even if you lose 90% of your force in a hypothetical attack, you still have enough nukes left over to make the other guy truly regret his actions.
Thats why concepts such as second strike capability and SLBMs exist

From this article (archive):
*bolded highlights by me
The United States has embarked on a wide-ranging nuclear modernization program that will ultimately see every nuclear delivery system replaced with newer versions over the coming decades. In this issue of the Nuclear Notebook, we estimate that the United States maintains a stockpile of approximately 3,708 warheads—an unchanged estimate from the previous year. Of these, only about 1,770 warheads are deployed, while approximately 1,938 are held in reserve. Additionally, approximately 1,336 retired warheads are awaiting dismantlement, giving a total inventory of approximately 5,044 nuclear warheads. Of the approximately 1,770 warheads that are deployed, 400 are on land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, roughly 970 are on submarine-launched ballistic missiles, 300 are at bomber bases in the United States, and approximately 100 tactical bombs are at European bases. The Nuclear Notebook is researched and written by the staff of the Federation of American Scientists’ Nuclear Information Project: director Hans M. Kristensen, senior research fellow Matt Korda, research associate Eliana Johns, and program associate Mackenzie Knight.

Truthfully, I don't have enough insight to game-theory the scenario to determine what is actually necessary. Then there is the politicking and dick-measuring. I'd post a Dr Strangelove clip, but I'd rather think about the Trump admin takings W's then nuclear armageddon.

6.2 mil from the government, and est 99% of their budget coming from taxpayers

their photos page (A) doesn't even show any of the work they've been doing. there's only two things and it's a statement by a guy who has "esquire" in his name and them receiving more money from utility companies

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which will be led by newly confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Fox News Digital exclusively learned. The commission will be chaired by Kennedy and will be "tasked with investigating and addressing the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis, with an initial focus on childhood chronic diseases," the White House explained to Fox News Digital.

The commission, Fox Digital learned, will focus on four policy directives to reverse chronic disease, including providing Americans transparency on health data to "avoid conflicts of interest in all federally funded health research;" prioritizing "gold-standard research on why Americans are getting sick" in all federally-funded health research; working with farmers to ensure food is healthy, as well as affordable; and expanding health coverage and treatment options "for beneficial lifestyle changes and disease prevention."

The commission initially will focus on childhood chronic diseases, such as autism and fatty liver disease, and also investigate adult chronic diseases, such as asthma and the U.S. average life expectancy compared to other nations.

Within 100 days of the commission's founding, it is expected to publish "an assessment that summarizes what is known and what questions remain regarding the childhood chronic disease crisis, and include international comparisons." Within 180 days, it is expected to "produce a strategy, based on the findings of the assessment, to improve the health of America’s children," Fox Digital learned.

I dont mind disagreement, I dont mind if you call me a dumb nigger while you disagree with me, What I think is counterproductive is trying to shut down the whole conversation just because the questions being asked or the discussion seems to call into question "established facts"

Nobody called you any names or tried to "shut down" your conversation, you fucking dolt (guess I just blew that :story: ). People are disagreeing with you and explaining why they think you're wrong. Also, this is the wrong thread for that conversation anyway.

I honestly love the approach Trump took to this issue. Obviously letting them figure Gaza out themselves was getting nowhere, so Trump saying "Ok well I guess America could take it over, plop down some military bases, maybe have neighbors take temporary refugees, it will be great"

And now suddenly all the Arab neighbors are climbing over each other to solve the problem themselves. THIS is soft power on display. It wasn't a threat, it wasn't a promise, it was an option floated to show everyone how Trump wants this problem solved, and fast. This is Trump telling the roughhousing kids in the next room that they really don't want him to come in and solve the problem to spur them to handle it themselves. More of this, please, Mr. President!

The Right Wing also did a 180 too as they were all for "muh business, if you dont like it don't buy it". I feel that was a tad more organic political persuasion though, and also a bit of a backlash to the Covid health mandates. Exact opposite of Sheep behavior

It took a long time, too long, to get to this point. The previous conservative position was to disregard politics in the marketplace and just buy the best item. The right was naive and thought that corpo would just carry on making good products and in turn ignore politics.

The problem was that the right signaled they would keep buying products if the products were good while the left was saying they would only buy product if the product supported globohomo. The obvious winning strategy here was to embrace globohomo to capture both markets. This was part of the reason why there was a huge dei faggot push the past decade.

The right effectively lost on this issue. They wanted to shop without worrying about politics. The consequences of surrending the culture war was that they had to deal with dei until they wised up and started a bifurcated economy where they would only support right wing companies.

Former teacher here, I put in my 2 weeks last week, f1/soccer streaming will keep me afloat for a while. Quit once the two nigger gangbangers showed up into my class high as a kite and security did nothing. Then a half spic and nigger sophomore Chonga threatened to make up an assault claim against me by “pushing her.” My faggot admin did nothing because Niggers ruined it. Once we put funding for niggers graduating education died

I was so proud of Linda McMahon. Kill the doe. Destroy unions. Burn public ed to the fucking ground.

Actually Autistic and other retarded group like "Big D Deaf" are the ultimate form of retarded coping.
You have a defect. Nobody else needs to live with it if it can be avoided. You fighting to ensure people keep having that defect is you doing the work of the Devil.
Step aside.

I too tire of it being schrodinger's malady. Somehow both a quirky replacement for having a personality, and simultaneously being a socially isolating life ruining condition depending on the time of day from the same people.

And in both cases according to them neither should be cured because reasons. Because CURING people of a disorder or condition became as bad as killing them somewhere along the way.

Apparently a DoD friend of a friend of mine got fired by the DOGE crew because he legally couldn't disclose what his department did because the zoomer didn't have clearance.
And it does bring up a good point. I get 99% of the people getting purged, but they can at least try to defend themselves. Clearance people can't simply because they face major repercussions if they compromise that secrecy to those who aren't cleared. So that begs the question on if DOGE is acting as smart as is being said.
