State of the stockpile
Trump, on Twitter, sought to project American strength, trumpeting on Wednesday morning the modernization of the U.S. nuclear arsenal that began under the Obama administration. “My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before,” the president tweeted. “Hopefully, we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!”
Despite Trump’s boast, the nuclear arsenal takes decades, not months, to modernize.

It's probably not helpful to threaten NK with nukes, however. That sort of talk only makes Mr. Un more powerful, and getting those threats is his reward for making empty threats to us. There's nothing we can do that plays into his hands more stupidly than reacting to his threats with threats of our own.
With the for profit model it is hundred or tens time more powerful, well worth the risk to make a few bucks for Bechtel. During the cold war when the things actually mattered UC ran the labs. Now the question is do the labs actually matter, well we may find out. But hey the world is a very different place now so does anything matter...ca ching!!!

You are undoubtedly correct, but you shouldn't expect such fundamental understanding of human nature, or anything else, from Trump. By the way, it's Mr. Kim, not "Mr. Un."
anybody else puckered....
