Vladimir Putin could secretly be baiting America to bankrupt itself by spending hundreds of billions of dollars on nuclear weapons that won't ever be used

So many times it has been said that the development costs of the F-35 fighter aircraft are too high. They complain about wasted tens of billions of dollars on this white elephant. And then, all of a sudden, they go out and commit between 1,200 and 1,700 billion dollars for modernization/overhaul of nuclear weapons. In comparison, the complaints about F-35's "steep" costs start looking rather childish. America's military-industrial complex now has its ambitions in the trillions. Billions won't wet the tongues of these big guys anymore. The milking of the public must be in trillions now. But could it be a calculated move by Vladimir Putin? To "force" America to spend trillions on atomic bombs [that won't ever be used]? Perhaps implying a zero return on investment? Thus making America hollow from within and eventually imploding and bankrupting it? If Mr. Putin can pull this one off, it will be one of the greatest contributions to mankind by anyone in the world's history. Just imagine how much peaceful this world will become without America's never-ending wars and bombardments and drones and missiles and fighter aircraft.
