Says the country with, like, 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal.
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.
Officially
No it most certainly is not
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.
Are you saying the US is a hypocrite for monitoring other combative countries, enemies, and super powers for their nuclear arsenals, especially as they near world ending numbers?
Should we not be paying attention to that?
Do you propose the whole world just take each others word on whether or not we still have nukes and just agree to turn them in? Pinky promise?
Do you think everyone would honestly do that?
How many people do you think would die from a move like that.
Please tell me what your solution is to the problem of nuclear weapons having been discovered 80 somethin years ago (close to a century now).
You think nukes are scary? Try on biological warfare + AI gene editing for size. If you and people like you are serious about nukes and why they’re bad then you need to pony up and start making some actual points instead of throwing childish insults and quips. Times running out
