The U.S. uses nuclear weapons as a deterrent by maintaining a credible and survivable nuclear arsenal that can respond to any nuclear attack, thus discouraging adversaries from launching such attacks. This strategy, known as "mutually assured destruction," relies on the threat of devastating retaliation to prevent conflicts from escalating into nuclear war. Additionally, U.S. nuclear policy emphasizes extended deterrence, assuring allies that they are protected under the U.S. nuclear umbrella, further stabilizing global security dynamics.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
