That's misleading at best. W76-2 began production a few years ago. B61-12 recently began production with B61-13 on the way. The current US stockpile may be down from its cold war height in bare numbers, but that's not the point. The US is always improving its nuclear technology and refitting, upgrading, or re-manufacturing its existing stockpile. Clearly "wiping out humanity" is not enough.

If it was that simple, the US would have stopped producing missiles and warheads a long time ago

In any case, you still shouldn't drink the water in Cancer Alley or East Palestine

They are not nearly as large or as capable as what the US has though

The US getting held accountable for it's war crimes? Sounds too good to be true.

Wow, it’s almost like you made a claim without evidence that started this whole chain.

No, when pressed for evidence I provided. See: https://lemmy.ml/comment/8132725. And this claim I made that the media backed Iraq WMD claims is common knowledge, so I suspect most people wouldn't contest it. However, even after pressing you for any evidence, you have provided nothing. So if this conversation is going around in circles, that's clearly on you.

sweaty basement dwellers

It's easy to deduce from your profile that you comment on Lemmy 3x more often than I do. While I was enjoying my Friday evening offline as I do, what were you doing? Demanding that I debunk all 6 of your gish-galloped points. I don't know much about you, but everything I do know suggests calling me a basement dweller is a heavy example of projection. Stones in glass houses.

Thought you had better things to do than argue with a liberal?

I did, and now I'm back :)

Did you?

Ok, what's your main point? That I believe Chinese media over the West's media? Strawman. I believe in investigating the facts of a situation firsthand and not taking anyone's word for anything. That makes debunking your bullshit significantly more time consuming, which is why I said I had better things to do, especially when you don't provide first or even secondhand evidence for any of your claims. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Now I have addressed all of your points inasmuch as they demand addressing.

I won’t address your points

I didn't say that. I did address your points. More than you have addressed mine.

enjoy your downvotes

I always enjoy downvotes when they come from bitter liberals who have never thought outside of the ideological box they were put inside

You want me to debate you on six different gish-galloped points? Dude, you are way to self important. I have better things to do than debate you on China all day. Maybe try addressing my first and second rebuttal and I'll get to the other ones. Veggies before dessert.

Nah, they hyped up the weapons of mass destruction claim same as everyone.

Meanwhile suspicion is growing that Iraq might actually be actively producing mass weapons of destruction.

The German daily, "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung" reported recently about a new nuclear programme. Relying on trustworthy reports of the Federal German News Service (BND) from January, the newspaper said that Iraq was buying "nuclear relevant basic chemicals".

Intelligence sources had also found indications that Iraq is continuing with its "Bio-Toxin-Programme" and is "building a mobile B-weapons capacity", the newspaper said.

This could mean that Iraq could achieve the high nuclear status of 1990.
