You really don’t need 500 warheads for deterrence, and there’s plenty of uranium outside Mali
How many warheads would be needed?
France has 290 for Russia with essentially 2 cities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction
Would that be enough for the US with their Starshield that will be able to shoot down ICBMs?
290 is plenty enough to reduce the USA population centers to rubbles I’d think. They may be developing interceptors against ICBMs, but multiple countries, France included, are also developing things like hypersonic glide delivery vehicles that are even harder to intercept, so I don’t think it changes the equation much.
