"You mean to tell me that the US doesn't mean to use these as needed after spending that kind of money not to mention the resources, they have every intention of using them "when & if". "

So, PLEASE give me the examples of the nuclear weapons USED by the US after 1945..... Since we developed so many, SURELY we used a whole bunch of them...

Or could it have been their development AS A DETERRANT that kept us from HAVING a nuclear war????????
