Is this total figure including MIRV or independent warheads?
MIRV is independent warheads from one missle. I surmise the 4800 number includes all warheads. Still, enough after a first strike to wipe out any nation, including Russia.
This is the main reason why I would like to see Bill Clinton behind bars or hung for treason. He, along with his biggest campaign contributors (Loral, Hughes, Riady, Chung) is responsible for giving China its current missile and nuke technology.
Without his Executive Order (or is that now a Memo according to Obambi?), to change multi purpose technology from the State Department to the Commerce Department, China would be far behind. They couldn't even figure out how to stop their ICBM's from blowing up until Clinton and the above gave them the answers. Also, he and Mad Albright gave so many concessions to the Norks and got nothing in return. Who knows how far they've advanced in their nuke program since? Sorry, off topic.
