So, you believe their nuclear weapons don't work?

Probably not, with insufficient confidence to assume that is the case

That's a strange assumption when many countries were able to independently verify nuclear tests between 2009 and 2017. The largest of which had a bast yield 4 to 12 times the nuke dropped on Nagasaki.

These tests happened. Most experts suspect that their success rates were far below claimed outcomes. But the important question is can you put the bomb on a weapon, launch it, and detonate it at the target. I think probably not very successfully. I also suspect they’re not stockpiling these things as claimed.

I also don’t think it matters because they would be pretty dumb to use them. I’m of the mindset that they will most likely simply collapse at some point and the nukes will become unmaintained and useless.
