You can't blame Russia for our stupidity, or for our bread-and-circuses mentality that would result in a massive blown social gasket if we went about building a real civil defense infrastructure. (Even in the darkest days of the cold war, our national "civil defense" system was a joke, capable of nothing more than providing a bit of feelgood propaganda -- "duck and cover" for grownups.)
I think Russia is anticipating the likelihood of a major war -- with China.
