Which country has the most nuclear weapons?
The United States currently owns 9,600 nuclear weapons, while Russia currently owns 16,800. But Russia actually always had more nuclear weapons than the United States. Russia was lacking in nuclear warheads from beginning of time to 1975. For various reasons, the USSR (and now Russia) have pretty much always had more ICBM weapons than the US, while the US maintained a larger stockpile of gravity bombs, SLBMs, and cruise missiles. Currently, as nuclear-tipped cruise missiles were forbidden under the START I treaty, only bombs, ICBMs, and SLBMs are in existence, with the number of 'usable' weapons varying over time.

Why did the US and Russia become enemies after World War 2?
The US was distrustful of the USSR and their leader Josef Stalin after the war because he refused to allow certain agreementsto be carried out. While there is considerable disagreement over who is at fault, even to this day, their is no question that President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt he had a different understanding of what the USSR would live up to than did the USSR at the end of the war in Europe, in April, 1945. For example, the US had thought Poland was to have free elections, but the USSR refused to allow this. As a result of this and many other disagreements involving many of the eastern Euroopean countries (Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Germany...which was split into East and West Germany, Czechoslovakia and others)...the US and USSR entered into what became known as the Cold War. Meaning it was a war of words and not weapons...so cold not hot.

Who says the Cuban Missile Crisis is the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war?
Most people that know anything about it. Anybody with access to classified documents on it that were only declassified in the last few years (both US and USSR papers). These documents show the USSR had battlefield tactical nuclear weapons already installed and ready, the Soviet soldiers in control of them had orders to use them on invading US forces without needing any additional approval. Had Kennedy chosen to send in troops, as most of his advisors wanted, they would have been wiped out by these weapons, Kennedy would have had no choice but full nuclear strike, then Khrushchev would have had no choice but full nuclear strike back, etc. It was sitting all on this hair trigger and US was unaware of the USSR battlefield tactical nuclear weapons until USSR was removing them after the crisis was over.

How many weapons are there?
Assuming you mean nuclear weapons, at the peak both the US & USSR had well over 10000 warheads each with yields averaging in the low megaton range. After START this was cut to a bit over 1/3 that number with yields averaging just below 500 KTons. Russia has more total warheads than the US and usually higher yield, because they claim their missiles are less accurate than US missiles (probably true). If you were referring to weapons in general, there are many billions. Maybe even more than the human population of earth. Which gets us first will always be a big debate.
