I would hardly call this 'science and technology', more 'keeping the public terrified and our paychecks coming'. It must be exceedingly frustrating for those poor {bleep}s that they have the world's most powerful military, yet cannot do anything to prevent them from being cast back into the stone age. Unless of course every other country on Earth pledges not to use nor research nuclear weapons. Save for the US themselves, of course, because they have the right to defend themselves.
