As much as I'd enjoy hearing the Scotsman fart Dixie, my innate cynicism rings pretty clearly when I read about how the US and Russia are decreasing our stockpiles of nukes. We've been talking about doing so for decades now, and still have the capability of ending civilization. As the above posts show, there is really no clear and simple way to even determine just what capabilities each nation has, short of an actual nuclear war.Whether or not we actually have nuclear superiority, it is important that the world think we do. That way, it is unlikely that anyone will mess with us, at least with nukes.Meanwhile, the human race has two choices in the long term: Get a grip on weapons of mass destruction and shoot them up into space for a world wide fireworks display, or plan at some point to go back to the stone age and start over.
