The Federation of American Scientists and other organizations keep track of these nuclear stockpiles and regularly release updated weapons counts.

Below is a map that shows the best estimates of which countries have nukes and how many they have. http://www.businessinsider.com/nuclear-weapons-stockpiles-world-map-2017-8

Status of World Nuclear Forces
The number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly since the Cold War: down from a peak of approximately 70,300 in 1986 to an estimated 14,900 in early-2017. Government officials often portray that accomplishment as a result of current arms control agreements, but the overwhelming portion of the reduction happened in the 1990s. Moreover, comparing today’s inventory with that of the 1950s is like comparing apples and oranges; today’s forces are vastly more capable. The pace of reduction has slowed significantly. Instead of planning for nuclear disarmament, the nuclear-armed states appear to plan to retain large arsenals for the indefinite future. https://fas.org/issues/nuclear-weapons/status-world-nuclear-forces/

Well, judging by the actions of US diplomats in the last several months, one can conclude that US and NATO has been preparing for set date and time for some sort of large scale invasion. Again. And again, only symbolically.

>The senior Russian senator warned that Russia is capable to arrange a decent response if US leaves the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Apparently, current lack of international policy in US (a direct consequence of Trump controversy) has been already exploited by some influential parties with their own separate interests. Weither it is a realistic scenario, or will it be put in action at all, is entirely different question.

I don't think you ever really can have enough nukes

>>111102
Eh, then you pay for them.
Just to do a factory refurbish of an old B61 nuclear bomb (upgrading the fixed air fins for movable ones, exchanging the vacuum tube electronics for a microprocessor board, installing new data plugs, etc.) costs twenty million dollars. If that 750 lb bomb was made of solid gold, it would not cost that much!
An example of a defense contractor turning a simple upgrade job (they do nothing to the actual nuclear weapon within the bomb casing) into a nine billion dollar swindle.

lol

Sniping the world series and these digits.

(And look what it GOT you)
(shitposting to get a GET outside of the Zone)

yeah, giving money to the republican party which is in favor of passing more gun control or giving money to the gun rights activists groups who are backing the republicans who want to pass more gun control is really going to help us out.
there is the possibility of a senate filibuster stopping whatever happens, that seems to be the only hope. i'd say keep your money on the sidelines until you see someone worth supporting with it, you might end up feeling foolish giving money you could have otherwise used to drink yourself to death to some fork tongued devil who will turn around and screw you over in a second if it happens to be politically expedient at that moment.
politicians are really the last people who you should be fronting money to

Years ago, I was introduced to these bump-stock attachments in a gun store. "It turns your semi-auto AR-15 into firing like a machine-gun as a legal work-around to the gun laws against full-auto weapons," was the pitch. I replied that shit like this will be used to murder a whole lot of people some day and that will be instrumental in laws getting passed to take guns away from everybody else.
So fuck bump-stocks.

Can't wait for times when people like Paddock will start to bust into arsenals of chemical weapons. Because freedom shall be free for everyone.

>What do you folks recommend for cheap small guns to keep in your car and that you would not really miss if they were stolen?

Colt 1903 .32 for one, Colt Detective Special .38 for the other.

  >>110975
Seems like alot of people use Hi Points for car guns. I remember someone here mentioning way back that they worked at a car auction and most of the guns they found when going through the cars before selling them were Hi Points.

As a former owner I'd say they are pretty reliable. Ugly as sin, heavy as fuck to the point I think it would be excellent to beat the shit out of someone with, and apparently bordering on Nokia levels of indestructible going by Demolition Ranch.

>>110978

>tossing classics in your trunk
>any year

I'm not even a Colt fanboy, and ultimately, you can do as you please, but what the fuck bro?

>>110980

>[T]hey are pretty reliable. Ugly as sin, heavy as fuck to the point I think it would be excellent to beat the shit out of someone with, and apparently bordering on Nokia levels of indestructible...

That does seem to be the consensus.

>>110993
The consensus of anyone who has handled them with an open mind atleast. Too many gun snobs will either never give them a chance because they look like Frankenstein's monster's big black cock or act like its a total piece of shit even when they do handle it even if it runs flawlessly.

I mean I can't blame people for thinking the Hi Point is crap just by looks, its like a Deagles short bus cousin. It looks so shitty, like you'd think cheapo Lorcins and Raven Arms pot metal pieces of shit would be better quality. But like a meh girl with a big heavy sweater that makes her like like a fattie, whats underneath makes up for the outside.

While it might not have a slim waist, big ol titties and a mouth that could suck your dick so hard you gain a few inches, its a pretty solid bitch that does a fine job putting bullets towards the general direction of targets reliably while not raping your wallet.

>>110993
The 1903 is not US Govt stamped and no I would not use a M1908 the same way.

The revolver was not my call, but again cheap reliable and all purchased privately.

>my stolen gun was just used in a triple homicide, that would be troubling.

>What do you folks recommend for cheap small guns to keep in your car and that you would not really miss if they were stolen?

Pic related, it is that conversation.

End of the day though, be a big boy about it and do the needful.

We no longer keep firearms in the vehicles permanently when parked at the house.

  >If anything, the situation in Venezuela is even worse.

Quite a understatement, as you can see from this video of people cheering and clapping after a firework gets used as a IED against police.

>In 2002, I immigrated to the United States from Venezuela, one of the most dangerous countries in the world today.
This isn't called "immigration", it is "asylum". I would not expect anybody to know what happened 15 years ago in Venezuela, so there:

>Before leaving, the Venezuelan government took away our guns.
No government really should keep guns in the hands of dissidents, terrorists and foreign mercenaries, lest such government wouldn't take long to collapse.

>>110958
>russian bot supports gun control because anybody who doesn't support moderate socialist head choppers and mass starvation is a terrorist

gee nobody expected this!

>>110963
>democratic head choppings are better then socialist rebellions because they are democratic!
>and democratic starvation is always justified!
>also democracy is useless and we never really wanted it but let's pretend we are good guys anyway
Okay.

lmfao spoken like a true tankie

>I overheard some of them talking about long term storage. They didn't seem smart enough to know it spoils and to add stabilizers.

Kinda depends on what they meant with long term storage.

So Texan operators, what was your barbecue count during Harvey?

Also Caseless, orange you glad you came to Arizoner?

For 26 and ⅔ butt sexes. Literally expecting people to get butt-fucked for $38.10-worth of fuel. Hopefully he's one of those Craigslist users who gets murdered.

Absolutely. Most chill hurricane season ever. For me, at least.

I sass you, hoopy frood. You're clearly a man who knows where his towel is.

Sounds in line with the politics

for some reason I always think of Burma. It's the color scheme I think.

Looks like you got a counterfeit flag, there.

Sad that its a thing but very true.

Used a rosewood knob as on off and volume control.leds for power, Bluetooth, and charging

That's pretty fucking cool.

Neat. Does it mine bitcoins as well?
