@wellerstein It is interesting to compare post-Cold War dynamics — US makes changes in big spurts, Russia more constant & gradual.

@spkr4thedead51@wellerstein Great irony that liberals would like to forget is that GOP presidents reduced stockpiles way more than democrat -
@curiouswavefn@spkr4thedead51 In general liberal Presidents have trouble cutting things back because they get accused of being "weak."

@wellerstein What's your source for Russian stockpile size? -
@pfc_joker This is coming from the Norris/Kristensen Nuclear Notebook estimates. -
@wellerstein I see, not sure these estimates are quite accurate. P.S. Have you checked my earlier tweets about Fat Man explosive lenses? :)
