If the US and Russia are in some crisis and we're at DEFCON 2, is it really smart for us to have a weapon in our arsenal that will make the Russians think that some slightly suspicious signal on their radar screen is a B-2 bomber on the way to a decapitation strike? And end up launching their nukes because of a flock of birds or something?

yes, the entire point of nuclear deterrence is that you can never know so everyone keeps their powder dry, there could also be a sub sitting in position to launch a faster and more devestating strike at any moment too
