We want to because it's a good deterent and prestige thing, what we need to do is to make sure that missle gap is closed relatively together with our economic gap to avoid to much expenses and to have braganing power with USA without being under pressure by expenses of it.I mean do we really want to fix the nuclear gap? Making more nukes and missiles is just going to increase our expanses which are practically going to be worthless since unless we get into an actual nuclear war will never be used.
I mean mutual assured destruction is basically useless unless you are planning to actually use it.I merely want enough to ensure mutual deterrence/destruction. I would take 800 to 1,000 nukes.
I mean the problem is if we put to much into the military we will have a harder time putting resources into the economy which will hurt our military performance. At best something like 500 nukes with most of them being missile based would help us out.We want to because it's a good deterent and prestige thing, what we need to do is to make sure that missle gap is closed relatively together with our economic gap to avoid to much expenses and to have braganing power with USA without being under pressure by expenses of it.

Also if the US is doing worse in general then nuclear performance will not matter as much since losing allies, wars, and influence would hurt the US prestige more than any attempt to gain parity with the US which the Soviets never did OTL. Any increases we make will be meet with a counter increase of the US anyways.
Honestly putting more resources into say creating more weapons/supplies to anti-western actors make more sense than fallowing the nuclear confrontation.
