I kind of agree. But agreements on nuclear weapons with NATO countries despite security measures to keep their locations secret are likely quite true it is not likely whatesoever that nuclear weapons are on all "US has military bases around the world". There would be no purpose to this and present a security nightmare for the U.S. It is likely that the only NATO countries that have U.S. (or British or French) nuclear WMD are Britain and Germany. The other country is Japan but it is not on bases, per se, but U.S. fleets that call to that country. In fact all U.S. carrier groups likely have some form of nuclear WMD, mostly in the form of cruise missiles.

Russia, unlike China, Russia doesn't have bases in other countries. The exception likely is Belarus and the countries/nations it occupies in central Asia. But I've never read anything about Russia have the same sorts of nuclear weapons in these countries. Doesn't mean they are not there, just that I'm ignorant of their existence if are deployed there.

Russia is the largest nuclear weapons state in the world today, bigger than even the U.S. Even with the 1990s down-blending of older smaller nuclear weapons agreed upon by the U.S. and Russia. Russia is the only country that has raised the issue of it using such weapons in the current conflict in Ukraine.

I knew there was some navy and air bases that were exclusively U.S. run/owned. Not all of them of course have nuclear WMD, there would be no point to doing this and make it secure. I've worked on some U.S. navy bases, but in the U.S., in the past.

WMD cruise missiles are generally on extremely well protected ships, FYI. Ships like battleships, aircraft carriers and some guided missile destroyers. They are only in packs with other ships for protection. A U.S. "carrier group" usually has one aircraft carrier with nukes onboard and maybe one of these destoyers/cruisers.
