Thank you for being one of the very few people on this site who appreciate the fact that nuclear weapons require constant and ongoing maintenance. Not to mention the delivery systems that have to carry them.

I don’t believe Putin is universally hated by Russians.

I’ve heard too many speak highly of him.

Inside or outside of Russia? Cellphone and internet streaming conversations are monitored in Russia.

We, as ordinary people don’t know whether Russia adequately maintains their special weapons and delivery systems or not. Maybe intelligence services know, but they didn’t seem to have any special insights on conventional weapon upkeep. I would assume the nuclear payloads are fully operational and that the ballistic missiles are as well — their space delivery systems work pretty well.

"You have NO reason to side with Russia against the United States.

"Especially when they threaten to attack our territory."

"Otherwise you are a traitor."

What if DC totally trashed the Constitution? What if the states were no longer united? What if Putin swore he was battling a one world government and pledged to help us with Obama's invading army coming up from the south.?? What if.??

Crazy, says you.! But, how do you explain what you are seeing with your own eyes this very day..?? What he's done at the border? How about the kids in the public schools.? He's calling the parents terrorist because they're upset and speaking about the gay agenda being taught to the kids.!! Do you really think The Joe Biden administration is something you could defend.?

I thing You should excuse us a little bit if we're UPSET with the lose of our kids to the fagots, our money to inflation, our jobs to foreigners and the safety in our homes and streets to the marauding street apes. AND OUR CONSTITUTION TO THE STINKING ONE WORLD COMMIES.!!!

Personally, at this time in our history, I think Obama (Biden is nothing but a tool) and his irk (the deep state) are the greatest enemy America EVER faced.. Our enemy is standing right before us, and we have yet to take the field..

You jump to unwarranted conclusions

I’m not on anyones side “ in this war”. I don’t even know what war you are fighting

The fact that I’ll take a constitutional republic over any communist govt is rational

Wrong. Russia’s Mayak nuclear weapons plant has been offline since a major disaster in 2017. A new plant is still under construction and construction has all but stopped due to sanctions.

Russia has not built a new nuclear device since 2017 nor have they refurbished an old one.

As to how well they maintain their dwindling stock of functional weapons I’d be very surprised if they were doing all the costly things required. That kind of money is too tempting for corrupt Russians.

I guess, according to you, Russia is incapable of launching a nuclear attack.

Hint: A ten megaton weapon that explodes with the force of, say, only 4 megatons would still be bad for your neighborhood.

I didn’t say that. Even if 80% of the remaining Russian nukes fail there will still be horrible devastation. But it will be worse for Russia because our nukes are all functional. We spend quite a bit of money to make sure they work.

NATO will take serious damage in a nuclear exchange but Russia will cease to exist. In the days after the initial exchange missiles and bombs will continue to pummel Russia.

Russia will commit national suicide if they go nuclear. There will be no other outcome and they are deluded if they think otherwise.

That’s not how these things work.

They work or they ‘fizzle’. Or they come apart during launch. It happens.

But they never ‘kind of work’. It’s a pass/fail event.

Of course Russia with around 140 million is going to abort fewer fetuses at around 50 per 1000 than a country of 330 million at 20 per thousand. The difference is we still have a growing population and Russia is loosing population. I suspect US has a higher percentage of people of reproductive age.

Shows how RuSSia operates... The US bought Alaska from RuSSia a century ago. RuSSia gave up all claim to ownership when the payment was made. Or so it would seem.

But, in RuSSia, being paid for something doesn’t cancel their supposed “ownership” of it. They reserve the “right” to take it back whenever they feel like it.

This is a clear example of why NO ONE can ever truly have “peace” with RuSSia. You can’t even BUY peace with RuSSia.

RuSSia is ALWAYS governed by lunatic madmen who say/do these things. There is virtually no exception to the string of madmen who have ruled it.

No one ever “volunteers” to join RuSSia. That’s why they have to always invade and annex by force.

Completely FALSE. There is NO official US government policy to attack, invade, or annex parts of Russia. Fringe groups with a map don’t count.

I’ll grant that this guy probably holds a fringe view and that there is no official Russian policy to do this.

However, this guy is the equivalent of Nancy Pelosi speaking publicly about the US annexing part of Russia. A major government representative saying it is quite different from a silly fringe map in either country.
