Do you really think every nuclear bomb America has produced our nuclear capacity is zero?
if only 75% work that is still a huge number.

AI Overview

As of late 2025, the U.S. has an estimated total of around 5,177 to 5,400 nuclear weapons, including deployed, reserve, and awaiting dismantlement warheads, with roughly 1,700-1,770 strategic warheads actively deployed, holding the second-largest stockpile after Russia.

Breakdown of the U.S. Arsenal (Estimates for 2025)

  • Total Inventory: ~5,177 (FAS) to ~5,400 (UCS).
  • Deployed Strategic Warheads: ~1,770 (ready for launch on ICBMs/SLBMs).
  • In Reserve: ~1,930 (strategic).

  • Awaiting Dismantlement: ~1,477 retired warheads.

  • Non-Strategic/Tactical: ~100 bombs deployed in Europe.



Key Details




  • Deployment:
    Weapons are on ICBMs in silos (Great Plains) and SLBMs on submarines, with ~100 bombs at bases in 5 European NATO countries.




  • Alert Status:
    About half of deployed weapons are on "hair-trigger alert," ready for quick launch.




  • Reductions:
    The stockpile is significantly reduced from its peak, with over 12,000 dismantled since 1994.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
am imagining that the collective Nato (US + Canada + UK + much of Europe) needing to remilitarize, reindustrialise, re-backbone grafting, starting at elemental periodic table, graduating through electrification, rejuvenate K1-K12, etc etc and navigate across demographic-flip, bridging fourth-turning, etc etc and surviving AI hiccup, requires unfathomnable amount of moolah at whatever yield, all without triggering devastating price hyper-inflation, sidestepping crippling debt diaper-deflation - seems a tall ask?

how tall is the asking amount, in round-up numbers close-enough for government work, and how much needs to be spent buying from the Foundation in terms of resources, parts, components, and finished good, be they capacitors or heavy trucks ?

will such effort keep the Foundation growing at 5+% per annum for 2026 - 2042 ?
