Critics of the agreement say it lacks teeth because it allows each country to stockpile warheads instead of destroying them. It also allows Russia to retain Soviet-built missiles equipped with multiple nuclear warheads. They were to be scrapped under the earlier START II arms reduction treaty, which Russia never ratified.

I remembered reading somewhere that we were going to actually destroy our weapons instead of stockpiling them even though the stockpiling option is in the treaty. Can someone who's familiar with this provide the information? Also why is it that the Russians specifically can keep missles with multiple warheads? Are we prohibited?
