Regardless if they are nuclear capable or no longer, it doesn't detract away from the fact that thousands of those warheads still exist in the US stockpile. There's roughly 10,000 of them in the US stockpile, give or take a thousand. A comparable number is still in Russia. Many of the weapons treaties only were aimed at decommissioning them. Only some of them were completely dismantled or destroyed. The rest of them lay in nuclear weapons bunkers for storage and can be brought out again if desired--in a future world war, for instance.
