If the new weapon systems are about as good as the old ones then what’s the point of building them? Presumably there is a significant threshold for spending 100’s of billions of dollars on a significantly improved nuclear stockpile.
Justifying it to the American taxpayer is meaningless when it’s hidden from them. But, justifying it to Congress was just a question of pork spending which is really what the excessive nuclear stockpile was. It’s no accident that all 3 major branches of the military had Nukes, though currently that’s down to Air Force and Navy.
