    After seeing Russia’s non-nuclear weapons, I honestly don’t believe they have that many nuclear weapons.

    I’m not saying they have none, but I don’t think they’ve kept up the maintenance required for 7,000.

      I mean, the actual number they have is irrelevant because there’s no way of knowing which ones are duds until it’s too late. If they were to launch a nuclear attack, the countries they’re attacking wouldn’t wait to see if it was a dud before responding. Because even if there’s only a 10% chance it detonates, that’s still 700 nukes detonating.

      Mos likely a lot of them are really old and not ik workikg conditions but they like to keep up the illusion that they could just nuke the whole globe

        I think that “subpar” are slightly different to US and Russia though.
