Ironic, in light of the fact that our Congress refused to do the same with the aging US arsenal.
Scourge of New Left inhabiting U.S. congress should be wiped out. "Money-is-good" Republicans are their best friends.
I believe I read that the statement on declining an upgrade of our own nuclear arsenal was that it served no purpose without first coming up with a new comprehensive nuclear strategy. I thought that was a sound basis for denying further money to upgrades. If they haven't found anything better than the current plan and the current weaponry meets the needs what would be the point? Unless our current strike capabilities have been compromised I don't see a need here.
As for China, they say that those are nukes, but if they were manufactured by the same idiots who provide food products then they are probably full of lettuce or something.
