U.S. Declassifies Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Details

[nonaCbarC]

5,113 nukes yr 2009 vs 31,255 yr 1967; quality vs quantity. There are only 1/6 of nukes now compare to 60s, however, probably each nuke from 2009 is 10 times more powerful than the one from 60s (it's just my guess), so..... . At least it's certain that they have been pretty busy since 1940s.

And how do we know this figure of 5,113 nukes that Amerika released to the public is actually true? It's not as if any independent third party verified this, right?

This reminds me of Dr. Strangelove "I wish we had one of them doomsday devices"

@Somai82 I was thinking it was rather interesting that Hulu has it up for viewing when all this is being discussed. I like their sense of humor.

[Reggie757]

I know a guy in Iran who would love to have some nukes.

Oh, and I'll take 2 also.

In a world without atom bombs the one with such a bomb can rule the entire planet.

@VariusMayhem In the land of the bombless, the one bomb nation is king.

Well the US doesn't have to worry about that .... they have well over 15,000.

[bluedragonrrj]

@elvgero15 I wonder what person (or people) decided that 15,000 nukes was necessary to have. Talk about overkill.

[elvgero15]

Like Don King loves to say "Only in America"

[ShadowSandy]

Did anyone else notice the term "arms control" in there? I wonder what the hell they are going to do next.

[im1greatman]

@ShadowSandy They comes after the guns sooner or later.  They will only succeed with control over the peoples mind.

[raazstone]

America is going downhill.

[Winterfairy777]

@raazstone true

[Duobitdezo]

@raazstone Not really, the GOV is lying as usual.

[dankbot420]

[DominoChild]
