I am NOT saying you are wrong, I am saying you can not have enough information to make the statements as facts. And enough people making those statements aides Putin in what he is doing.

Well said, we both have more than enough to bring about nuke winter. And, we, the public, only have general numbers and no idea of readiness, or accuracy, or much of anything.
You just AGREED with Mike who provided actual numbers for weapons from Russia and the US. THOSE aren’t my numbers, I didn’t provide numbers.
I provided a source, radiofreeeurope, for the nuclear preparedness of Russia versus the US. Do some research, reading and check in on reliable news sources, the US didn’t perform the latest scheduled exercise lest Putin be upset. It’s not brain surgery.
