    It still enough to cause a nuclear fallout if both side launch at each other, and they’re targeting 1.5k, the same amount that US has which is ready to deploy.

    I thought we’re cutting down on nuclear weapon but ehh, this global warming could makes one wish for a nuclear winter.

      Oh, definitely, I was just surprised because I figured China would be closer to both Russia and the US.
