    Russia’s nuclear arsenal is bigger than US, so your comment falls flat.

      While the numbers are wrong, the argument still stands that with a 4th of China’s population, the US has more than 10 times the Chinese nukes count

        Right, but the number is pointless, as any use by a nuclear power will result in total world destruction.

        Alternative perspective: anyone increasing their number is concerning, any nuclear superpower increasing their number indicates intent to use. We have too many but they’re ones we haven’t gotten rid of. We aren’t making more, we’re using ours mostly as trading chips to disarm others

      In fact, US and Russia combined own around 89% of all the nuclear arsenal.

        Unless you know something that we don’t, Russia actually does.

        It’s reported that Russia has a few hundred more than the US. We had treaties that allowed inspections up until a few years ago, actually.
