Plus only warheads 60 on bombers, being 2400 for Moscow. For all these years we’ve been treading water. Pakistan, India, North Korea, et al., aren’t parties to the treaty. If __ threatens use of nukes, the US will back down and the other guy will win. Dangerous to have any agreement with Russian Federation on arms control, as China is not a party and Russia and China work together. Not only does China go free, but via the Khan network in Pakistan has been the world’s most important proliferator. Russia has built 21 types of new nuclear weapons; US: zero. “If we don't modernize, . . . The FAS says, “Let’s talk with Russians and see what they say” before making our own plans – totally crazy fairy tale. Land-based missiles are critical: least likely is Russian attack on our 400 silos; most likely is attack on our ICBMs. Arms-control community said to get rid of ICBMs--- totally wrong. Peace through strength, not appeasement. Biden Adm may get rid of one element of the triad—and we absolutely need the triad. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3119913/china-may-seek-close-nuclear-gap-after-us-and-russia-agree
