The ultimate irony will be when the US starts a nuclear war and finds out most of that 50B$/yr arsenal maintenance just gets spirited away and there's only a handful that function.
I mean, you're probably right, but the main threat of nuclear war is nuclear winter - that is, if a major (or several major) city(ies) get nuked, the smoke plume from the concrete and charred remains will blanket the Earth for years to come, thereby preventing crops from growing and decimating agricultural production. Same shit happened with the dinosaurs (but this would be self-inflicted)
We have absolutely no idea how nuclear warfare and fallout will interact with the already unstoppable climate change trend. Maybe its just me but IMO those old theories about how someone in New Zealand is going to survive in a bunker is just extreme copium, borderline delusion.

Unless the bunker-dwellers have a foolproof air supply independent from surface construction, they were always high on copium anyway. Some concrete down the vents will end their secret-bunker fantasies real quick.

A handful is still enough to end the world.

I mean they haven't had much luck with testing launching the nukes, I think only one out of four actually launched?
