Why did the Americans not attempt to contain the soviet expansion immediately after wold war two?
For a few years after World War 2, the Americans had nuclear weapons, and the Soviets did not. It was agreed before the war ended that the Soviets would administer Eastern Europe, and it was hoped that these countries would be given their freedom, but the Soviet acquirement of the nuclear secret changed everything.
How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.
What nation announced in 2003 that is was giving up nuclear weapons of mass destruction?
It was Libya. They had been seeking, but had not obtained nuclear weapons. They also agreed to give up chemical weapons of mass destruction. However, 10 years later, they are still holding 800 tons of chemical weapons- "waiting destruction". Right. Sure.

Does Cuba possess nuclear weapons now?
As part of the agreement between the United States and the former Soviet Union that ended the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States agreed that it would not invade Cuba so long as Nuclear Weapons of any type were not deployed there. President Kennedy went further to quietly remove older missiles aimed at Russia from Turkey several months after the crisis was resolved as another concession. Privately it was seen as a weakness on Kennedy's part to remove those missiles, since the U.S. had the Soviet Union outgunned on all nuclear weapons fronts.Russia continues to honor that agreement, and Cuba hasn't been willing to test U.S. resolve since. In essence, the placement of nuclear weapons of any type in Cuba is an intolerable situation for the U.S. that cannot go without severe response since there would be little, if any, warning if a missile were launched. Flight time for a missile from Cuba to the U.S. coast is just a few minutes.The entire event spurred the Soviets to new heights of Nuclear Weapons production. They were essentially forced to back down in 1962 because they were overwhelmingly outnumbered by U.S. ICBM's and other weapons in the Nuclear Triad. The Soviet leadership resolved that they would never again be in that position again, and ultimately achieved nuclear weapons parity with the U.S. and NATO.
How did people feel about the discovery of nuclear weapons in Cuba?
Actually no nuclear weapons were discovered in Cuba by the US in 1962, only ongoing construction work on missile launch facilities and some strategic missiles (without warheads). The concern was to prevent the USSR from transporting the warheads and the rest of the missiles.The thing that was not discovered was that there were low yield tactical nuclear weapons already on Cuba that would have been used to repel any invasion. When the USSR agreed to remove the strategic missiles they also secretly removed these tactical nuclear weapons that the US had never been aware of.
