I'm sure you don't want to let facts get in the way of anything, but this site, for one, would tend to disagree with you (looks fairly reputable):

USA---------------------------10,656 weapons

Russia-------------------------10,000 weapons

China----------------400
France---------------350
India-----------------60+
Israel----------------200+
Pakistan--------------24+
United Kingdom-------185
Non-"superpowers" total---------1,219 weapons

Yeah....you're right....they have 100 times (!) the arsenal of the rest of the world combined!!! Oh...I don't suppose their huge number of weapons had anything to do with trying to outdo their cold war enemy eh? Nahhhh...I'm sure they were just trying to **** everyone off by showing off.
