Having a giant arsenal of nuclear missiles is pretty pointless. The entire defense budget is ridiculous anyway, wasting good money on building super weapons that won't even be aggressively deployed anyway.

It doesn't matter if you build a giant wall around the country with super guns on every square inch, the terrorists won't be fazed, if they want to attack they will attack, it's a matter of whether counter-intelligence can avert it or not and certainly several thousand nuclear missiles doesn't change a thing.
The reason having a giant arsenal of nuclear missiles is important, is because you scare off other countries. The reason North Korea hasnt set off any, is because they know the US will retaliate with full force. Theres a special word for it but I cant remember it.
