> Most of our rockets use liquid propellants.

Which ones? As far as I know the US only has solid fuel nuclear armed missiles. The Minuteman and the Trident.

> others on mobile launchers, shorter range missiles deployed in Europe (eg MRBMs in Turkey),

The US only has aircraft dropped bombs in Europe. The US retired their nuclear capable rockets and cruise missiles under the INF treaty in 1988. They retired their nuclear artillery etc at the end of the Cold War.

The (liquid fuelled) Jupiter missiles were removed from Turkey in 1962 after the Cuban missile crisis, in exchange for the USSR removing their nukes from Cuba, though there are still US nukes in Turkey.

> Also, a lot of these weapons will be thernonuclear

All of them are.
