US Military Strategy Command is responsible for overseeing US nuclear arsenal .
International military experts said that Russia has the world's largest nuclear arsenal and has nearly 6,000 nuclear warheads. Together, Russia and the United States have a total of about 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, which is enough to destroy the earth many times.
