Question:

How many intercontinental neuclear missles does the united states have online and ready to launch?

will people even be around much longer as weapons get even more powerful as technology advancess?

Answer:

The exact number is a highly classified state secret, but best estimates by those in the know is around twelve hundred...down from more than three times that thirty years ago. They continue to lose credibility among the world's military forces as technology increasingly enables selective killing. We don't need to kill thousands of enemy soldiers when we can selectively take out just their high command. That weapon's name? Predator. You've heard of it...
They have 733 active ICBM,including 288 Minuteman Silo Launched Missiles and 450 Trident Submarine Launched ICBM.
