Americans accused many nations to have nuclear weapons (i.e. Iraq, Iran, China, North Korea and many others) and want them to be destroyed. But do you think America have their own nuclear weapons? If so, what justify them for making it seems like when other nations have it then it's wrong, but when US have it, it's okay?

To those who try to teach me history : I said "have" not "had" as in present time.

And by the way, I'm not American. So why bother studying American history.

Yes, the United States has nuclear weapons and we are not the only country that has them. The problem that the US (and the UN) have with countries like Iran and North Korea having the weapons is the fact that these are countries that are not stable.

Its like the difference between allowing a sane, stable person a gun and giving a bipolar person who is currently pissed off at their neighbor one.

(And BTW, it was the ATOMIC bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, NOT a nuke. The nuclear bombs were made during and for the Cold war. )

The USA, Russia, and China should work towards reducing their arsenals of nuclear weapons to as close to zero as possible.

These three nations (along with Europe and Japan) should work diligently to encourage a nuclear free zone in the Middle-East and in East Asia (Israel, India, Pakistan). To do this, would require exceptional efforts on the part of the economic and military powers of the world to make sure that a stable and enduring peace was established in the Middle-East between the Israelis and their Arab neighbors. The same would be necessary for India and Pakistan. Massive efforts would be required to solve border disputes, water & mineral rights, etc. Also likely would be massive econmic aid to these nations. This would be a decades-long process to build good will and make a viable peace happen.

Britain, and France should be encouraged (as part of this global effort) to eliminate their nuclear weapons completely.

Europe is an excellent example of economic growth, stability and peace. They had (in the past) long fought each other. WW2 alone killed two hundred million people.

It is possible.

Yes the United States has nuclear weapons.

You should really read some articles on this subject. Your question indicates that you are unaware of the history behind the nuclear arms race.

The reality is, the USA could rather decide upon that nobody had them. The USA constructed the A-bomb on the finish of WWII on account that the Nazi's have been running on one (and received near) and I feel we will all agree that we do not desire Nazi's to be the one ones with nuclear guns. Now we are caught with them. But we do the whole lot we will to maintain them clear of risky international locations wherein those terrible guns would grow to be within the flawed palms. Like Kim Jong Un's.

Yes. The US has nuclear weapons (check my source). They are saying that other countries such as N. Korea that have them are not "responsible enough" and may use them for their own purposes in terrorizing local neighbors. Having the most nuclear weapons, the US is able to decide which countries are "responsible" and which aren't to have nuclear weapons in stock.

The reason we try to keep other countries from getting them is because most of those countries seem so likely to use them. we used ours once, realized our mistake, and now our country is determined to stop anyone else from using any nuclear weapons.

Yes, the USA does have nuclear weapons. Just look at what happened to Japan... And as for your other question, I have often wondered that myself...

The US has about 2500 nuclear weapons, land-based and on planes, ships, and submarines.
