re: #88 jamesfirecat

But what about the fact that Russia has to actually give up more actual warheads than us?

We give up more launch vectors they give up more nukes, we both give up more of something than the other…

Not to mention if Russia wants those 100 launchers it will have to shell out the rubbles to buy them… its not like we’re giving them our hundred…

Your points are good ones.
I asked previously (#57) if anyone knew how many of those 2,787 Russian warheads are actually in good working order - I personally wouldn’t be surprised if only 1,550 of them were serviceable, in which case they might not be giving any real warheads up at all. Call me a cynic.
