Bad analogy, there’s a very significant difference: excessive warheads above the genuine deterrence requirements can’t contribute positively to economy in any way (they can only do so if they contain HEU and it is converted to LEU for the power plants), while even ancient GPUs can be used for some good civilian use (and destroying them irreversibly harms the economy)
I don’t think that makes the analogy bad? I agree that’s a helpful distinction to track, but for people who don’t know about START etc, I think it’s more helpful for them to know than not.
