More than two decades (click here) after the Cold War ended, the world’s combined inventory of nuclear warheads remains at a very high level: approximately 15,700. Of these, around 4,100 warheads are considered operational, of which about 1,800 US and Russian warheads are on high alert, ready for use on short notice....
The Cold War started in 1947 and is considered to have ended in 1999. I think that is an optimistic point of view. The nuclear threat to the world actually increases with every baby born.
