The expiration of the New START treaty has left America's nuclear arsenal completely unconstrained for the first time in decades, with more than 10,000 U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons now operating without international limits—a sobering reminder of the dangerous world President Trump inherited from the failed Biden administration.
While the mainstream media focuses on manufactured controversies, this nuclear reality exposes the catastrophic foreign policy failures that defined the previous four years. Biden's weakness on the world stage didn't just embolden China and Iran—it allowed critical arms control agreements to crumble while he was busy pushing green energy fantasies and woke military policies.
The Nuclear Landscape Patriots Need to Know
Currently, nine nations possess nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea. But here's what should terrify every American parent: China has been rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal while Biden slept at the wheel, and rogue regimes like Iran continue their march toward nuclear capability.
Russia alone possesses an estimated 5,580 nuclear warheads, while the U.S. maintains approximately 5,044. But numbers don't tell the whole story—it's about leadership, deterrence, and the respect America commands on the world stage.
"Peace through strength isn't just a slogan—it's the only language our enemies understand," a senior Trump administration official noted, speaking on the critical importance of nuclear deterrence.
Under Trump's leadership, America is already moving to restore the respect and fear that keeps nuclear weapons in their silos rather than in the air. The President's proven track record of facing down nuclear threats—from North Korea to Iran—demonstrates exactly why American voters chose strength over the previous administration's appeasement.
While Trump works to rebuild American deterrence and secure our homeland, one question remains: How many more Obama-Biden foreign policy disasters will this administration have to clean up before America's enemies remember why they used to fear us?
