50 Facts About U.S. Nuclear Weapons
The U.S. Nuclear Weapons Cost Study Project was completed in August 1998 and resulted in the book Atomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Since 1940 edited by Stephen I. Schwartz. These project pages should be considered historical.

Fascinating.

Those are some huge numbers!! 

There's no way the Soviets could match us $ for $.

Yeah...no denying we need some bunch of weapons,, but this is/was dead end spending by the MIC-nwo uncontrolled spieling threats and war. Imagine where the USA would be today if the spending was entirely cycled in the economy, citizens, environment, energy, various infrastructures, positive things, and so on and on.  Would be one heck of country and place to live.


..TM7

Yes it would be and without the protection the expense provides just how long do you think it would be ours?

TM7-so the arms race between the US and the Soviets was ploy to build up each others arms as if we were "fighting" each other, but in reality they were secretly working together to build up arms against some other enemy they had in common?
Interesting thought if it's true. Is that what you're alluding to?
.
Lot written on this 'agreement' actually...and notice how the soviet experiment was stopped after about 70 years. Not exactly a third enemey,,,firstly just to make enormous money, scare people, keep control of things and edge toward the nwo one world of their design.. The nwo guys have always had a problem with the USA holding things up...due to individualism and spirit, the Constitution, the equality ethos, democracy, sense of fair play, wealth and success, etc...this they have pretty much degraded and shredded while opting to shunt to a new enemy,  i.e. radical muzzie naziesque extremism which necessitates creation of the American security state (they tell us!)...seems the american easily buys into this stuff with adequate stimuli and the dichotomy or Hegelian method of herding public consciousness....a form of mass mind control or mass hypnosis...

Be careful of what you read. The Brookings institute is liberal driven,and supports total disarmament by the US.

[Bob Riebe]

TP...did you read the article..? Pay attention to Fact #44. And I said no doubt we need a bunch of weapons...do we need enough weapons to incinerate the planet 50 times over! And bought by the US taxpayer at swindler pricing. Also brings up a little known topic about a deal the US-MIC had with the Soviets...now projected on the moslem menace....a ploy as old as the hills of time.


..TM7

Hmm, in the Falklands War, the British Navy sand the Agentine cruiser with a WWII topdedo, yet they had current versions in stock.
So the ship was sunk by the evil "new world order." Things get curiouser and curiouser.

Huh?  Don't have the slightest idea what you're getting at Bob... The article is about renown Brookings Intitute and Foundations 50 facts on the US nuke arsenal and cost.  So what's your point..?
If you're a nwo denier start a thread and we can discuss.

..TM7

but this is/was dead end spending by the MIC-nwo uncontrolled spieling

You are the one who seems to put the onus for darn near anything on the nwo or some other cockamayme conspiracy bugaboo.
I am just replying to your dogma

[Bob Riebe]

Yes, I often do refer to the nwo (as a label for a world consolidation movement.... the same term Herb Walker Bush Sr used over 2000 times in his adminstration and most notablely used in his address to the United Nations while pldeging to its s'sacred principles'.),,,that is because an understanding of such a movement serves to explain all that is going on...That is unless you have  a better explanation...if you do please explain or start a thread and we can discuss. This thread is about the history and cost of our nuke program, which some people might consider over done and wasteful to a large degree.
TM7

Yours is not an explanation, it is an opinion. It kind of reminds me back when scientists spoke of the canals on Mars.

.
Well you might be right, but what is that based on or what article.?  It is one of the oldest foundation think tanks around respected by all political spectrums in the country.


TM7 It is well known among people with political saavy that Brookings is liberal bent,just as Cato Institute is Libertarian leaning,as The Hoover instituute or Heritage foundation is conservative leaning. No secrets of conspiracies here As far as respected,it might be by CBS,CNN or any of the other left leaning organizations. It's like saying the ACLU is well respected,or the Communist party is well respected. It may be by a small minority, but that is about the extent of it

It may be considered an opinion by some, but is supported by causal events, references and testimonies by reputable men. If you have a better explanation for the events and trends/direction of this world please state your opinion. Surely, you don't think all the happenings and consolidation on the planet are just unconnected random events.

Deliberate- action = result- absolutely not;  mankind has shown that it self-destructs out of its own arrogance.
You give mankind far more credit than it deserves.

No, it is like I posted back on a religion forum, as all would stand there pointing fingers at ones called servants of the devil, Satan would be standing right amongst them pointing and shouting condemnations louder than anyone.

There are theories and that is all , any supposed evidence is wishful thinking for those with preconceived ideas.e
Will mankind's greed and desire to play god eventually lead  up to the concentration of  power over the huddled masses that Satan has been waiting for to play mankind for the fool it is, absolutely.

Amen, Bob!
