Apparently they have 6,000 nukes. I hope the United States is just downplaying how many we really have and its alot more than them.

After you have like 100 it doesn’t really matter who has more.

because it is a much bigger part of their political culture/propaganda than ours. the nukes are a big point of pride for russian militarism.

strategically it is a big waste because you don’t need a big nuclear arsenal to deter invasions or even to confront other states. china doesn’t have anywhere near as russia and nobody is gonna invade them. and it costs a lot of money to maintain them that could be going to other, more practical military investments (russian military budgeting is a big part of why they are doing so badly in ukraine)

because you don't really need more than a few hundred well maintained and ready to go. russia can't even maintain tanks, you think they're maintaining thousands of nuclear warheads?

Dont always need the missiles can still do damage with nuclear materials in other ways :manny:

I frankly doubt they have as many as they claim to but as other people have already pointed out it doesn't really matter


At the end of the day it is crucial the nuclear states implement severely limiting nuclear warheads if not entirely eliminating them
