“Hey, investors are demanding a higher return this year due to inflation. You’re gone if they aren’t satisfied.”
“Ah shit… alright get Lindsey Graham on the phone. Tell him I need him to write In another $100B to the defense budget…”
They literally just print money and no one in congress is ever gonna question it or say no for fear of being reported as “not supporting national security” or whatever
Putting aside morals and such of nukes, the terrestrial ICBMs are totally unnecessary when subs already exist and are out in the oceans carrying warheads that can devastate any country on earth. Just scrap the dickwagging missiles and stick to the subs. But boomers love nothing else more than dickwagging, so, here we are.
And again, the entire premise is stupid, just saying how they take a stupid idea and exponentially make it stupider
Yes, but for example the ICBM project is currently so far overbudget and overtime that it’s near the cancellation. Sure they will pump as much money as they can but the effect is unknown and rather dubious considering the long string of failures plaguing their R&D for last 2 decades. Same with the retrofitting - it’s a country that had problem decomissioning their old nuclear aircraft carrier recently.
Imagine if a nuclear exchange happened, but none of the warheads went off because of some unforseen flaw from the material degradation that arises after sitting in a silo for thirty years.
And it’s a projection too, since idk about Russia’s but USA nuclear arsenal is getting old and unreliable, with no replacement in sight.
It’s also a projection in that the rabid american dogs are probably going to use nukes anyway
State that not only have first strike policy but also already used nuclear weapons against humans.
That can’t be, they pump so much money into that department and it would irresponsible to misappropriate that
The US expects to replace their minute men some time after 2031 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGM-35_Sentinel
Can’t wait for it to go billions over budget
Already is!
In 4 years, projected budget increased by 37% (30 billion) timeline got pushed back 2 years.
If it continues to extend 2 years for every 4, and budget increases by 37% every 4 years, it’ll be done by ~2040 and cost 380 billion.
Comrade Lockheed execs
Must be amazing heading one of those companies

Trump did see through a program that increased a lot of funding for retrofitting and even designing new warheads
