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.

Maybe 7 countries. USA, Russia, UK, France, China , India and Pakistan. Note: I am very sure USA, Russia ,India and Pakistan has nuclear missile.

How serious was the Cuban missile crisis?
yes and no. Russia placed the missiles in Cuba for two reasons: Russia feared an American invasion of Cuba, and America had missiles in turkey that were aimed at Russia. Some people speculate that the missiles were placed in cuba so the Russians would have something to offer for the removal of the missiles in Turkey. Having said that, russia had no intention of starting a war, and in fact was more afraid of us than we were of them. even then, we were perceived as trigger happy cowboys, and keep in mind that we were then, and remain today, the only country to ever actually use nuclear/atomic weaponry against another country. needless to say, they were petrified that we'd actually use our nukes first, and that is why, in the end, they agreed to remove the missiles. an interesting side note: America agreed to remove the missiles they had in turkey, but they still had missiles within striking range of russia placed in Italy.
