Advocates of nuclear abolition spend far too much time wringing their hands about the cost of modernizing the United States’ nuclear triad.
These detractors are loathe to put the cost of nuclear weapons into any real context because doing so only weakens the false narrative they seek to create. After giving the disarmament community three decades to convince Russia, then China, and now North Korea that America would lead them to the promised land of a world free of nuclear weapons, their failure is evident in the complete modernization of the Russian nuclear arsenal and the more recent dramatic increase in both the Chinese and North Korean nuclear arsenals.
