You guys can measure cock size with nuke counts all day long. It really doesn't matter if one side has 50 or 2000.. Once you hit a certain number it's "mutual assured destruction".. Meaning no one wins..
You can launch 2000 at the other side but those 50 headed at you are still going to end your day.
On top of this it's very unlikely that all of Russia's nuke stoke pile is still launchable. Really, you think they actively kept them in shape during those years after the USSR crashed and continue to do it today?
You have any idea what the costs are? The current count of "active" nuclear weapons is 1,950 for the US & 2,430 for Russia. Really does it matter a few hundred here or there when probably 50 would end any country on earth?
Now as far as war if it's nuclear it really doesn't matter because no one wins except those tribal fucks in Africa that no body will give a fuck about bombing.
As far as any sort of conventional war.. Russia is just like China.. They simply can't wage a conventional war out side of driving distance of their own boarders. Unless it's against a smaller country but certainly not against the US or any of our allies that we would protect.
You can have all the troops, tanks & jets you want, but if you can't get them to the theater they are worthless.
This is why the US continues to be the Only real world super power today because we are the only nation that can project it's power by actual force rather than idle threats. When Russian or China sends a few Naval ships somewhere like this current deal. it's essentially a idle threat and a flap fest because it's not like it would win if there is an engagement. Added to this if there was an engagement they just lost their only aircraft carrier and most of their Navy.
I'm sure eventually China will step up to the plate if their economy doesn't crash and burn due to inflation. Russia on the other hand will likely never be a work power that can once again project it's force anywhere in the world.
Russia will likely end up like France or England. In the list of countries that once had world wide projection of power but the times changed and that power and need for it no longer exists.
Hell the US will probably eventually be on the same list at some point if we don't get out shit in order. One thing is certain history has proven that no world power has ever stayed on top.. Eventually they all fall down.
