Ke hoʻolālā nei ka US e hoʻolimalima ma kahi o $ 1.5 Trillion ma luna o 30 mau makahiki e kūkulu hou i kēlā me kēia wāwae o ka triad nuklea a me kāna ʻoihana e pili pū ana, me kahi papa hou o nā submarine ballistic missile, kahi pūʻulu hou o nā missiles intercontinental intercontinental hou, kahi moku nuklea hou. missile, he umekaumaha i hoʻololi ʻia, he mea hoʻoheheʻe hoʻokuʻu lōʻihi hou - a me nā poʻo kaua, me nā lua poʻo kaua hou i hoʻololi ʻia, no kēlā me kēia ʻōnaehana hoʻouna.[3]
ʻO ka FY 2024 Department of Energy budget he $32.4 Billion no ka mālama a hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā poʻo kaua nuklea. Aia ka waihona kālā FY 2024 Department of Defense i kahi hou $37 Billion e hoʻololi a hoʻololi i nā ʻōnaehana hoʻopuka kaua nuklea, me ka B21 Raider hou loa, stealth intercontinental strategic bomber (contractor: Northrup Grumman), he ʻauwaʻa o nā submarines ballistic ballistic hou i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Colombia (contractor: General Dynamics), a me ka ʻōnaehana "Sentinel" hou, e pani i ka Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ʻo Northrup Grumman pū kekahi).[4]

Me nā alakaʻi Lūkini 'a me kekahi mau luna o ka ʻIseraʻela i uhi ʻia a ʻaʻole i uhi ʻia i kā lākou mau kaua kūʻē iā Ukraine a me Hamas, ua hoʻohana ʻo Rūsia a me ʻIseraʻela i kā lākou mau mea pale nuklea ma kēia ʻano - a hiki i kēia manawa.

I ka makahiki 1946, ua kākau ʻo Lewis Mumford, "ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio e like me nā kāne maʻemaʻe a puni ka papaʻaina a ʻo ka pōkā atomika ponoʻī ma lalo iho. Mai mālama i ka pōkā atomika i mea kaua no ka hewa; mai hana i mea hana na ka makai. E mālama i ka pōkā no ke ʻano o ia: ʻo ka pupule ʻike ʻia o kahi moʻomeheu i pau i ka hoʻomana i ke ola a mālama i nā kānāwai o ke ola. "[7]
