Will The Nukes Work ???

Some interesting thoughts from Jim's Blog:

Do anyone’s nukes still work? My guess is that Global American Empire nukes stopped working a long time ago, but some Russian nukes still work.

Nukes were and are made out of components that deteriorate over time, and have to regularly refurbished, reconditioned and sometimes rebuilt. And if you are not testing, your maintenance process is likely to go off the rails when the men that built those bombs retire. The test ban treaty was a stealth slow motion nuclear disarmament treaty.

In a former life, my roommate at US Navy Officer Candidate School and classmate at Nuclear Power School is now a retired Captain who, among other things, was one of the managers of our Stockpile Stewardship Program. He is a VERY intelligent and capable guy. If he believes they'll work, they will.

So don't get your hopes up that the test ban treaty has disarmed anyone. The nukes are ready to go, and they'll do a bang-up job if used. They are nowhere near as decrepit as our current Commander in Chief.
