According to the chart USSR has a linear increase from the beginning while NATO decrease starts from 1967.
Maybe you considered the linear increase of USSR as starting from 1970 because after that the bars align to form a line?

So the number of NATO bombs was growing exponentially, the USSR started to increase its number linearly and maybe this was a message like "we can do it too, so what now?"; NATO: "OK, understood", Russia: "nice, we will decrease too".

It's the Western countries depending on BRICS, not the other way around.

It doesn't matter for my point if USSR's increase was linear or exponential
