Not one single one of those figures are anywhere near accurate, for any country...
As for nukes, Russia has 8k tactical + 6k non tectical
USA has 8k tactical + 2k non tactical.
Russia has approximately 5,830 operational nuclear warheads in its active arsenal. This includes about 3,500 strategic warheads, a decrease of some 300 from last year's level due to the withdrawal of approximately 36 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) from operational service. Our estimate of operational nonstrategic nuclear weapons is 2,330 warheads

As of January 2006, the U.S. stockpile contains almost 10,000 nuclear warheads. This includes 5,735 active or operational warheads: 5,235 strategic and 500 nonstrategic warheads.

No its not because a single country wouldnt fight such a force NATO would fight any such force. NATO was designed to deal with just a alliance of this type. Russia+Iran+China wouldnt attack the US and NATO just stand by with their fingers up their bums
So it would be Russia+Iran+China vs US+UK+Germany+France+etc etc..
This would pretty much be WW3 and would come down to nuclear weapons. And between these countries there is more then enough nukes to send all members back to the stone age.
