With USA military and unsupervised services, the primary goal is spending money. They DGAF about security of nuclear weapons in Europe.

Or it could be something else. From some sources, the signal-to-noise ratio is infinitesimal.

Situation is pretty dire, seems like you need someone to save the day.
