The warheads and their accouterments do degrade over time, so scheduled replacements (probably with “modernized” designs) are necessary. This does not require breaking the mutually ratified limits on nuke warheads, however.
Trump’s statement might be intended to give Putin a “reason” to abrogate current restrictions on Russia’s nuclear arsenal. In return, Trumpeteers will have their own “reason” to do the same. In our present “brave new world order”, agreed-upon collusion with Putin should always be considered.
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday abruptly called for the United States to “greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability” until the rest of the world “comes to its senses” regarding nuclear weapons.

Trump: “I think – I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me.”
Hat tip to Digby, who is currently passing the hat. She deserves anything her readers can afford to give.
Mrs Von Holst just told me that, according to the American Guild of Variety Artists, the Rockettes, themselves have been ordered by MGM to perform. Not the dancers’ choice here.
Since genius Trump is an expert on the nuclear triad, Trump Tower will be remodeled into a missile silo. Make sure Sarah Palin explains to Trump which end points up.
