[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to laugh when Russia said they were putting sanctions on Biden - as if Biden had accounts and loans with Sberbank 🤣[/quote]

Would not recommend laughing at the criminally insane leader of Russia. He controls the majority of the world’s nukes - the US a distant second …[/quote]

Huh?
Russia has about 6200, 2k are tactical.
US has 5500.

Of russias 6200 maybe 2000 would actually launch.[/quote]

How do you know that? The US’s nuclear arsenal is also quite old and out of date.[/quote]

The US routinely looks at the old weapons and supposedly keeps them up to date.  It's possible that some of them would fail - but it's more likely that they wouldn't launch.

During the Cold War, there were many stories at the time about near misses where faulty intelligence, misunderstandings, or miscommunication led to the order being given to launch, but the weapons officer failing to do so.  (My father was a weapons officer and it was widely known that most of them would refuse to launch, given an order.)  Recently, stories have come out about the same thing happening in Russia, that when given an order to launch, the order was not followed. [/quote]
