Nuclear Weapons - Essay

I think that the countries that have nuclear weapons should be changed. There are five countries that have nuclear weapons under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Those countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, China. There have also been for countries who have made nuclear weapons and are not under this treaty.

Russia has about 2500 active warheads and about 11000 total nuclear warheads. There are other countries like France, United Kingdom, and China that have nuclear warheads but the most of those countries is France with 290 active warheads and about 300 total nuclear warheads.
