What world do you live in where there are no Minuteman-III multi-BUS delivery systems packing 750 Megatons of warhead per missile?
...and that's just US-side.
There are plenty of nukes to wipe out all life on earth...if the blasts don't get you, the radiation will, followed by the nuclear-winter fallout.
Between nukes, MOABs, viral, biological and chemical payloads...yeah, we could kill ourselves off with ease.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were measured in KILO-tons. That's thousands of tons of TNT. Today's nuclear arsenal is measured in MEGA-tons per
warhead. That's MILLIONS of tons of TNT equivalent.
We are literally talking about blast craters approaching five miles. That's just the vaporization threshold.
While we can not physically destroy the Earth, we can certainly cause our own extinction.
On a side note, nuclear detonations have to be one of the most beautiful things on the planet.
