this might be long but the number of nuclear weapons in the world is actually down from 70,000 in 1986 to around 14,000 today. The US, UK and Russia have all been reducing their stockpiles, but China, Pakistan, India and North Korea are believed to be producing more, according to the Federation of American Scientists
As the world is moving ahead. And gradually each nation is developing financially and in military powers as well to secure their nation's prestige.
And as most of the countries have already gone through the brutality of two world wars they will try to be prepared for the third one. And each country dreams of being a super power one day.
If this movement continues then there will surely be a day when all the nations would have developed enough to build nuclear weapons to protect their country.
