Wonder if China would use 'em.
Within five years Russia and China together will have the ability to deliver all those weapons to target, Russia in a matter of months.
I suppose we could hope that China won't blow up what they already own.

Merely reporting how many warheads you have can be as effective as having the warheads.
You are as strong as your enemy perceives you to be.

Sadly, our nukes require more maintenance, preservation, upgrading, and modernization than our conventional weapons.
They require constant attention, and are not getting enough of it.

And that we bow to foreign kings, and give ipods to queens. Yes.

We stopped training college kids and grads in fast-neutron physics and basic nuke stuff so long ago! And we have no domestic source of tritium. I’m not sure we can manufacture plutonium any more. All deliberate steps in unilateral disarmament.

Intelligence from China is difficult and problematic.
While the Chinese will certainly lie for effect, there are a number of factions and some legitimately don't know they are lying, while others won't tell.
Still, it is a good bet that the Chinese will not in any way suspend the manufacture of weapons, and modernization will result in many more, smaller, higher yield ratio warheads, rather than a stabilization.

Nobody wants nuclear war but staying armed keeps rational enemies at bay.If you want peace, prepare for war.

China is likely two full decades ahead of any country in the world in developing weaponized nano technology. This will have far more dire consequences. There are a great many open source articles available.

I hope they don't have a grudge against me, I have a Chinese cell phone.
It would be kinda like an Islamic terrorist having an Israeli cell phone.

True, but sometimes it backfires. I’d suggest you ask Saddam about that one but....

Do a Google search on 'ring gyro' and you'll find all the writings on the topic are from China.
It's an interesting gizmo.

Why the surprise? China has been making nukes ever since they set of their first shot at Lop Nor in the fall of 1964... They have had nearly five decades to build their arsenal.
