    NATO nukes are fully operational. China’s nukes are operational. Russia’s nukes are likely broken and sold for parts. Pakistan’s nukes are largely broken. India’s likely are operational. Israel’s nukes are fully operational.

    How many? Too many.

      Yeah but on paper Russia has more nukes than the US.

      While this is highly unlikely, especially if we’re talking about functional nukes. But, also equally unlikely that they have less than 10. That’s plenty

        And nuclear weapons being broken up and sold for parts is not especially reassuring.

      I believe Israel has never officially admitted to having nuclear weapons, although its a very open secret that they do. But that increases the problem of not knowing how many are out there.

        They won’t openly admit it, because then they might be held to standards.

        But they leak evidence that they do so surrounding countries know if any of them attempt to hold them accountable, Netanyahu will turn the entire Middle East into glass.

        Which is why Republicans support Israel. Part of the Evangical “end of times” starts with Israel having a massive war with their neighbors, and they want the apocalypse because they think they’ll all get sent to heaven without the whole dying part via rapture.
