The missiles hidden on Oahu probably need testing first. Is anybody going to miss North Korea?
You don't know the MIC then. That would be a perfect reason to have to rebuild or restock
Here you go again -- pretending your sources say what you want them to.
Every weapons system goes through modernization updates. The nuclear arsenal is one that's been neglected since the end of the Cold War and the need to fund the wars in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan. That's 3 decades that the systems have been static in terms of modern technology. That doesn't mean they are nonfunctional.
"it's probably save to assume that we are wasting a bunch of money maintaining non-functional equipment."
Do you realize that statement you made is an oxymoron? If it's being maintained, the better assumption is that the equipment is functional.

Unless you know fo a fact some percentage of our nukes are nonfunctional, then believing so offers no path to a solution. You're just worrying over something without an ounce of actual evidence or justification
Missiles are like matches in a box. You can test one, and if the others were produced and maintained the same way, you don't have to light them all to see if they work. Doing so would be ridiculous, right? Missiles are also single-use AFAIK, just like matches.

Facebook uses your likes and follows to target ads to you.
Sometimes, the increase in ads is simply because you match a particular demographic that advertisers are targeting. Your age, location, interests, and even your job can make you more valuable to certain advertisers.
