There's no argument that the US alone has enough nukes already to blow up the world many times over, and have been able to for at least a decade or two.
The biggest problem I see with the whole thing is that a single country (in a world that's supposed to live in peace and harmony, just the way they want the streets of any country) has a "defense" budget that is more than 11x larger than second place, and clearly stirs shit halfway across the world by injecting $50bln dollars in weapons a year to a war-torn region.
Furthermore, the average American believes this is fine and dandy.
So if you lived in any other country on earth, how would you view that attitude?
Americans: Why do you need 12x the world's war budget? You have no scary neighbours even, and two oceans full of nuclear submarines, and skies full of planes, and the space full of satellites, all protecting you.
