The State Department released newly declassified information Tuesday about the number of nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile, reversing the position it took under former President Donald Trump.
The total number of nuclear weapons in active status and in long-term storage was 3,750 as of September 2020, the department said in a press release. The number is a roughly 88% reduction compared to its maximum of 31,255 warheads in 1967 and a roughly 83% reduction compared to 22,217 warheads near the end of the Cold War in 1989.

It seems that every article you read today must include the word "reveal". Can someone please find their thesaurus. Sorry for the rant.

Oh, good. Give them the launch codes while you are at it.
This used to be called treason.
Gen Vanilli Milley promised advance notice if we decide to launch.
Why not just disband the military?
We don't need them. Everybody will be nice.

Did they tell China the location of these weapons?

They are misleading, intentionally. They say "... in active status and in long-term storage was 3,750".
OK, how many of those are actually ready to be used? WAY less than that number. The number of ready-to-deliver nukes, is, last I knew, classified.
They have been steadily disarming us in front of our enemies' rapid increasing their deliverable number of nukes. I don't call him Traitor Joe for no reason.

The current regime will stoop to any disastrous low as long as it is a reversal of anything Trump.

Those who should not know have ways of finding out. This makes little strategic difference. There must be some other reason.

If I remember correctly, and I'm old, but I seem to remember reading a column stating that Bill Clinton actually gave launch code to the Chinese. He also let some Chinese guy go through the place in Mexico were classified records and such are kept. Clinton opened the door to all of this.

In the 60's Europeans laughed about stupid Americans and how they leaked secrets. They would tell you if you want to know a secret just look at the front page of the New York Slime. Well, I guess that's about right.
Did Milley buzz his good old friend and tell him where the weapons are, what the codes are and anything else he wanted to know. After all, they have been such good pals for 5 years. This jerk and even jerkier Pelousi referred to President Trump as 'demented'. Would love to know what they call the word salad vegetable in the WH!!!

The number active and ready to deploy immediately is the only important number.

Isn't it interesting that this information is quickly declassified, but the documents regarding Russia, Russia, Russia and the plots against President Trump are still buried deep in the bowels of the Deep State dungeons?

Our ballistic missile submarines can carry over 4 thousand warheads alone. If this 3750 number is correct, we have seriously disarmed.

While I am all for transparency in government, things like military secrets, nuclear capability, missile locations, and troop readiness are not among things that necessarily need to be "transparent". The Biden administration has to have the biggest bunch of morons running the military and State Department (and just about every other department) in history. The information regarding our nuclear weapons being made public in the name of transparency is about as smart as General Milley telling China that he would warn them if an attack were imminent (probably to be transparent also). Why don't we just contract out the running of our government to other countries. The military to China; social policy to Russia, Cuba, and North Korea; fiscal policy to Venezuela; and in the name of equity, let some small African nations run the rest of the government.

Don't forget, Gen. Milley promised to give a courtesy call to China (and who knows who else) before any of these weapons would be used. Son now Blinken and Milley are both traitors.

Re #12. The correct number is FAR lower than 3750.
ALL our missiles have been De-MIRVed, now have only a single warhead per missile. The Ohio class boomers have 24 tubes, and each of them has a Trident D5, which USED TO have 8 indipendently targetable warheads. And we have 18 Ohio boats.....but, due to our self-disarmament, four have had their ICBM tubes replaced with cruise missile launchers, and of course, we got rid of ALL the nuclear warheads for our cruise missiles, too. So those four boats are conventional land attack only, a serious loss of capability for a ship that used to have 24 x 8 nuclear warhead capability for each ship.
So, originally 18 boats X 24 tubes X 8 warheads each = 3456 warheads on boomers.
NOW, 14 boats x 24 tubes x 1 warhead each = 1,152
The number of nuclear bombs is VERY small, but classified.
About 1/3 of our land based ICBMs have been de-MIRVed, too. Down to one warhead each missile, there, too. These Minuteman III missiles can carry three warheads, but we converted to one warhead each about 1/3 of the 500 missiles. Had 500 missiles X 3 warheads = 1,500 warheads. Now have about 1,200 or so on the Minuteman missiles.
We have removed 2/3 of our submarine launched nuclear warheads and 1/5th of our land based warheads OURSELVES. Lots of one sided disarmament going on. All this is from available public sources of information.

While Sedition and Treason are mothers milk to the Democrats, #8 is correct that Klanton, along with Loral Aerospace allowed Chinese agents into our facilities because “Secrets cause mistrust” and can’t have that……..now look at Madeleine Albright’s neat diplomatic pin choice…..oooooooh, she is really giving it to them with that pin’s intent…..”
Democrats Delenda Est.

Good job guys. If we're going to lift our skirts to the enemy, why stop there? Let's just tell them where they are, how they work, and what the codes are.
