    The US hasn't had the plutonium reserves necessary to maintain or replenish nuclear weapons since 1989. There's only one uranium enrichment facility in the US and nearly their entire output is already booked for nuclear power.

    The basic design of nukes haven't changed since the early 1960s. The only things new are guidance systems and how they can toggle yield before detonating. They're also bigger

      God, knowing that would make me sleep better at night if not for the fact that isntrael has nukes and is probably willing to take the whole world down with them
