i always found the nuclear umbrella argument to be flimsy. the enemy of today is not nuclear hungry soviets. russia/china, is not going to attack us, or try to rule us. the only existential threat are islamic terrorists. they are not deterred by nuclear umbrella dogma. not even close.
time to scrap the cold war toys & build the army to fight the enemy of today.
PS communism is more a threat to USA now, under the guise of social justice. free college for all!
