If Russia didn’t have nuclear weapons, it would have already happened. They don’t stand a chance in a conventional conflict with NATO.

Unfortunately, Russia does have nukes. However, the West can still transfer the $245 billion in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, allowing them to arm themselves to the teeth. This drip-feeding of support really needs to stop.

I really want to believe that all the nukes that Russia has are actually just as run down and broken as the rest of their military.

Once Russia inevitably implodes post Putin, we’re gonna find out they have 3 or 4 functional nukes, and for some reason MS-13 or some Mexican Drug Cartel has like, 12 they accidentally bought ages ago

I swear to God back when WikiLeaks was big I read about nukes in Mexico.

I mean, a Russian Admiral nearly sold the cartel a fully loaded and function nuclear submarine. The cartel was the one who backed out upon realizing that the missiles would be included, hilariously enough

Something something not wanting to attract unwanted attention (e.g. a CIA's SAC/SOG team blackbagging the cartel leadership at night for extraordinary rendition, or outright assassinations) when they're already raking in billions of USD annually from their operations.

Oh that’s definitely why, I just think it’s peak non credibility that a cartel is more credible at risk assessment over a Russian Admiral. IIRC he got caught because the fucking cartels ratted him out
