“Russia is still the biggest Nuclear power on earth.”
Sure. Just like they have 12,000 tanks. LOL
Well, I don’t think that’s disputed anywhere seriously. Pretty much we and Russia are about equal, them 5500, us 5000. And between we two, that is about 88% of the world’s arsenal.
People do argue abut qualitative differences, but that’s about the state of things.

Battles -- plural -- between USSR and Imperial Japan which lasted four months until September of 1939. Your Ukraine-sourced editorial cartoon pictured Hitler (not Hirohito) with Stalin, while the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact fell apart a little less than two years after the Khalkhin Gol battles ended. The Anti-Comintern Pact of November 1936 was between Japan and Germany, quite more "allied" than the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact which was about 'nonaggression.' Dirty games played out all across that era, as the USSR ended up allied to the US for some few years.
Nonetheless, it was a very modern Ukranian-sourced graphic used to illustrate your point that "History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme!"
I find it interesting that a population which increases by millions is proof of genocide against that population, while actual genocidal statements of political and ideological belief are dismissed as the modern equivalent of "boys will be boys." The world's press is stymied by this....
More Zeeper and globalist wishful thinking.
Russia’s Mayak plant, the one that makes and reprocesses nuclear cores, has been closed since 2017. Russian nukes have a short life of about ten years.
Add to this that their budget for maintaining a nuclear stockpile is woefully short of supporting 5,000+ devices and it’s not hard to conclude they’re far weaker than they let on.
I’d estimate they have 200-250 devices with a 90% expectancy of function and another 1,000 or so of various capabilities. The rest are useless.
This is still serious, but in no way are they the #1 nuclear power anymore. That ended three decades ago.
WWII began with Japan’s invasion of Manchuria, it just took ten years for it to spread globally.
Why? How?
It's roughly 1.4 billion people (China) vs 0.14 billion people (Russia). China has industrial capabilities these days (thanks to Western idiocy) that are waaaay beyond what Russia has.
Russia has very embarrassingly failed to dispatch with Ukraine in a timely manner - a country of less than ~1/30 the population of China. China has a large surplus of military aged males with few chances of female partnership.
If they both turn to nukes there will be no winner.
So, how?
And you know this how?
I guess it's to sway the population(s) against the nation committing the "genocide". Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, and Russia is committing suicide against Ukraine, according to the presstitutes.
What a load of malarkey. In your dreams, Madam Writer.
Tabulating deaths, then, means the sovereign state of Abortion Rights, looking at the Guttmacher data, is a far more effective "genocidist" in the multiple millions than any of the "press" would report.
Which recent government has managed millions of deaths with the approval of "law?"
See: https://www.statista.com/statistics/185274/number-of-legal-abortions-in-the-us-since-2000/
At least it is decreasing, which surprises me.
Given Blikens words about China supporting Russia’s war effort, and the curious timing, I’d say this is more propaganda attempting to push a wedge between China and Russia. This ham handed story will likely push China away from the west as they take note.
