Let's say the US balkanizes, becomes decentralized and finally stateless. What to do with the nukes that were left over? Who controls them if there's no central power? Obviously, there should just be no nukes, but let's say other countries that are still states have them, so would it be prudent to denuclearize?
Yeah I've no idea there, speculative history isn't my forte lol.
Ive also no idea how to safely/responsibly deal with fissile material, let alone picture how we get to an anarchic society from here.
What conditions need to be met for the present USA to lose control/possession of their nukes? Would they even relinquish that control?

Rerouting military expenditure into public infrastructure works, could you imagine?

Yeah, it's probably not very realistic to even assume that there won't be the USA but there will still be the nukes. They'd probably rather detonate them before losing power.
