After seeing Russia’s non-nuclear weapons, I honestly don’t believe they have that many nuclear weapons.

I’m not saying they have none, but I don’t think they’ve kept up the maintenance required for 7,000.

Same goes for the US. Most launch facilities are in subpar condition.

I think that "subpar" are slightly different to US and Russia though.

Yup. It's actually fascinating to read up on how the US maintains and tests nuclear weapons.
