[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who is in control of the nukes pointed at the USA? Seems like a good time to launch and blame it on chaos.[/quote]

Nukes are a different story.  The Strategic Rocket Forces are generally very professional, low-humor types.  Just like in the US, there are safeguards against unilateral actors launching or detonating a nuke.  That said, there was a point in the 90's where senior commanders looking for a score did a bit of mischief.

The missile shot in 95 or the uranium in a suitcase in 92-93 type of thing:

The time a nuclear sub was almost sold to a drug cartel:

This is why whomever is in power in Russia needs to be given unconditional, no-questions-asked, no-monkey-business support to help keep their nuclear arsenal safe.  They need to understand that NATO and the US are not really their enemies at all and to cut it out.
