That's 87% of the world's stockpile.

A reminder that both these countries have first-use policies.

A reminder that the treaties that existed between these countries (INF and NewSTART) are now dead, due to the hubris of both nations.

So those figures would already be out of date cause they're beefin up that stockpile on account of there being no limits and no observation of either.

A reminder that their systems allow for unmitigated all-out no holds barred very short and extremely deadly war on the say-so of an extremely untrustworthy hierarchy.

A reminder that their 'testing' of such weapons on marginalised communities has caused untold horrors.

A reminder that only one of these nations has used nuclear weapons during a war.

And continues to make excuses for these war crimes.

A reminder that these nations 'share' their nuclear weapons with their allies, spreading them about further.

A reminder that both are european colonies on other ppl's land.

A reminder that neither of these entities have been prosecuted for their crimes.
