Of course, because with European countries having their own nuclear deterrence, neither the USA nor the current US government’s handlers in the Kremlin can’t blackmail them into submission anymore.
The USSR collapsed because they invested in weapons and not civilian infrastructure. This is another space race, another SDI.
Putin doesn’t control Trump but the US controls EU politicians. The US don’t need nukes to influence Europe. Wasting engineers on those nukes prevents them from developing better batteries and other critical infrastructure and prevents the population from demanding an end to the more direct influence.
The EU doesn’t produce CPUs or memory. That’s a much bigger threat.
Having a credible nuclear deterrent is existential. We’ve seen attack after attack from countries armed with nuclear weapons only against ones that don’t.
