Most countries have them. USA probably has the most or maybe Russai. Indian and Japan and china too.

Eight countries, Russia & US, each of which currently has a little over 5000 active weapons and parts from a similar number dismantled under treaty agreements; the other six countries none have more than a couple hundred active weapons. I do not have exact counts for any of the eight. Weapons yields are also unknown, and they can be more important than counts.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?

Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
