Hear me out. Let's make a few nukes. Sure we cut back on military spending, but if you try anything... nuked. We have the uranium.

  1. Nuclear maintenance is very expensive.

  2. Nukes are actually terrible for defense purposes, since starting a nuclear war is a very 'all or nothing' affair, which means your choices are reduced to "Armageddon" or "Let the other side have their way" whenever a crisis comes up.

Nukes are a good deterrent against attacks on civilians. There's a reason Ukraine hasn't started lobbing rockets at Russian cities.
