The US having "more" is largely irrelevant because if these numbers being in the thousands; the UK alone has enough nuclear firepower to effectively end civilisation as we know it. That's just 120 active warheads.

Basically if more than a few dozen high-yield nukes go off, the fallout and environmental damage would be catastrophic. Russia having 1600 active warheads and the US having over 3500 means nothing. If either fired just 10% of them, the world would be over.

Anyone interested in the actual stats by the way, Russia has about 6000 nukes and the US has something like 5500, but as the numbers above show, the US has far more active (meaning, ready to fire). Most of Russia's 6000 are inactive in storage and not in actual bombs or missiles.

But again like I said... Doesn't really matter. They have 1600 and a small percentage of that is global game-over.
