Our government, of course.And just what authority is "allowing" us to have them?
Our government, of course.
It depends on which political side is in power. If we went straight Democrat in all three branches for the next 50 years, we wouldn't have any nuclear warheads. Just a hate-filled media with a bunch of adulterous, foul mouth politicians.The US government is who is allowing the US government... sounds to me like a poor check on that power, should a cap on nukes be law.
Zero, the same as everyone else. Every nation in the world should have enough conventional forces to gang up and massacre any nation that stockpiles WMDs of any kind.
But unless we can get the world to agree, and enforce compliance, then we need to have more than the rest of the world put together.
How many nuclear warheads should the U.S. be allowed to have?

My personal preference would be swords and bows, but no one has ever had any luck putting a Genie of Technology back into its bottle.
"Those who beat their swords into plowshares, soon end up plowing for those who did not."
No nation should have any nuclear warheads, so in turn the US should have none. If someone is stupid enough to launch a nuclear warhead on us, we should not fire a nuclear warhead back, no matter how much it would feel good, because that would doom the entire world.

I have to agree with Ronald Reagen on this one:
“We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.”
Ronald Reagan, Inaugural Address, 1985
Nonetheless, at our current position, I'm not looking for any major reduction.
No nukes in the world would be nice, but with all respects to President Reagan, that is a La-La Land wish that needs to stay with the Lollipop Guild and the Unicorns and other imaginary creatures.
