5,113

The exact number of nuclear warheads in the United States, 5,113. At least not counting those in deconstruction or already in pieces. Regardless this new open policy endorsed by the Pentagon is a great shot at the Iranian nuclear weapons ambitions. It follows up the START treaty with Russia to decreased the total amounts in both countries and commit to non-nuclear aggression against non-nuclear countries; excluding Iran. Both times President Mahmoud Ahmandinejad threw a public fit, but I think it is a great show of strength by Obama. It may not be possible to stop nuclear technology from continuing to spread to dangerous countries, but we can make our displeasure and poweress known as a method of prevention.
