According to this report, US nuclear weapons are down 85% from their Cold War levels because of disarmament treaties:

One of the real main reasons they are down and will stay down is that the US no longer has a standalone tritium production facility. Tritium normally is required to boost the output of H-bombs, and we just don't have a lot of it anymore. The tritium we are producing now comes from civilian nuclear power plants:

And lo and behold ... the federal government recently awarded loan guarantees to build two new civilian reactors at Plant Vogtle in Georgia:

Plant Vogtle is just across the river from the DOE Savannah River Site (SRS) where tritium can be harvested from the lithium target assemblies which the new plants will irradiate.
Surprise, surprise !!!
No, Virginia, the US is not going to fully disarm.
And yes, Virginia, Obama ad-Dajjal is a liar.
By the way, the last time I worked at SRS my office was in the basement right next door to the New Tritium Production Reactor office. I never met my neighbor(s) and I have no idea what they were doing ... but building a new production reactor does not seem to have been part of their agenda.
