agreed. "having nukes" and having reliable, functional nukes with reliable, tehnologically advanced, accurate weapons systems to deliver them are two entirely different things. people can't seem to understand that russia is today, what it always has been... a 4th world country struggling desperately to become a 3rd world country.
russia couldn't stop a handful of chechens armed only with small arms in two wars... they are hardly a world player as far as military might goes. militarily, they are completely irrelevent in the world. they can't even afford fuel for tank exercises, training flights or to move a navy ship... much less the costs to maintain or even deploy them.
