4. Russia and the US both built around 10,000 warheads at Cold War's height

That's just long-range weapons. Each nation also built tens of thousand short-range weapons, but both long- and short-range arsenals were partially dismantled after the cold war. As of 2000, Russia possessed about 20,000 nuclear weapons deployed or in storage, while the United States had 9,000.

So no, to answer your question.

8. But nukes don't last.

How many of Russia's stored nukes were still operable?

6. I think we're at least

in the top five. Funny how we're going around bossing people around telling them to disarm but we don't either and we have so many wmd's in our own country. And here we go invading and occuping countries spreading "democracy."
