12,331. That is the approximate number of nuclear warheads currently in existence. Only 9 nations belong to this "nuclear club."
Is the gap between the top two and the rest of the world wider than you expected? Which of these stats is the most eye-opening to you?

South Africa also had nukes...

The only country in Africa that had some under the apartied regime... but were destroyed a few years before Mandela's ANC party government was handed power.


Also Ukraine inherited a significant portion of the old Soviet nukes. But handed them over to Russia and signed the nuclear non proliferation treaty.


So there... that completes your list op!

A country like Pakistan (aka Islamabad) is not supposed to have nuclear weapons. They're one of the chief sponsors of terrorists and Islamic extremism...

UN is weak and useless, they advocate nuclear disarment to smaller countries, while allowing stronger countries to stockpile nuclear weapons
