    Looking at WW2 numbers, they still have some way to go and I suppose you don’t need to worry too much about defending other borders, as long as you giver a finger over the nuclear suicide button.

      Why should we suppose that the current Russian military is as resilient as the Soviet one was?

      Come to that, why should we suppose even their nukes are in similar condition?

      It’s been decades of essentially government by organized crime and kleptocracy in Russia. Their shit is wack, in the parlance.
