The United States has announced it has 1,419 deployed nuclear warheads in its arsenal, as it urged Russia to release its data.

The US Department of State said it was releasing the information publicly as part of its commitments under the New START Treaty, appearing to reverse an earlier decision not to share the data.

“The United States continues to view transparency among nuclear weapon states as extremely valuable for reducing the likelihood of misperception, miscalculation, and costly arms competitions,” a spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.

The new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty came into force in 2011 and was extended for a further five years in 2021.

It caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads that the US and Russia can deploy, as well as the deployment of land and submarine-based missiles and the bombers to deliver them.

But in February this year, amid a sharp deterioration in relations since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was suspending Russia’s participation in the agreement.

The US said that Moscow had not made any disclosures in March and was “not implementing other key provisions of the treaty” but did not elaborate.

“The United States calls on the Russian Federation to comply with its legally-binding obligations by returning to full implementation of the New START Treaty and all the stabilizing transparency and verification measures contained within it,” the State Department spokesperson added.

The latest figures show that as well as the deployed nuclear warheads, the US had 662 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and heavy bombers.

In total, it said as of March 1 it had 800 delivery systems both deployed and non-deployed, the maximum allowed.

Under New START, the two countries agreed to limit the deployment of nuclear warheads to 1,550 and long-range missiles and bombers to 700.

Inspections were also part of the agreement but were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions on resuming inspections were supposed to have taken place in November 2022, but Russia abruptly called them off, citing US support for Ukraine.

The US and Russia account for about 90 percent of the world’s nuclear warheads.

Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, with close to 6,000 warheads, according to experts.

Firstly, the heading is misleading.

Secondly, this isn't first time USA is trying to get Russia to do this and Russia has come out openly to tell them they were suspending the TREATy which they stated their reasons.

Also who knows if this isn't to USA benefit, maybe so they know more than they already do about the Russian weapons.

USA knows it End is near the Great harlot that sit on the throne about to be burst open.

Do you know he's grammatically correct?

"beg" can be used in the place of "urge"

Let me explain.

"beg" and "urge" both convey a sense of strong desire or persuasion, they have different connotations and levels of intensity.
Now, "beg" typically carries a stronger(higher) sense of pleading or desperation compared to "urge."

On the other hand, "urge" generally suggests a strong desire or inclination, but without the same level of desperation or pleading.

"beg" - higher level of desperation and pleading (emotional)

"urge" - lower level of desperation but it tends to be less emotional and more rational.

The reason "beg" can be used in this case is because, the u.s is showing some level of desperation, since the suspension of the NEW START TREATY, the u.s has been so desperate to know how many nukes the Russians has prepared for action.
Remember Putin has been ordering it nuclear force to stay on high alert.

The reason "beg" is not been used in place of "urge" at times is because of politics, no one wants to appear less powerful in the global stage.

Politics aside, kingsnairaland is absolutely correct.

So many unlettered folks in this forum.

But it was same USA that withdrew from all the Nukes agreements with Russia including open sky, because the USA planned to build more nukes but since the projects have been failing too much.
USA now want Russia back to the same agreement, the USA withdrew because it can't keep tracks of Russia nukes program any more since.
