Yep, Russian military forces can't be compared to the US ones even close, because they are much (incomparable) weaker. On the other hand, Russian military doctrine does not presume any other way of fighting NATO than using nukes. Russia has about the same amount of strategic nukes as the USA for the guaranteed mutual destruction + incomparable larger amount of tactical nukes targeting the EU NATO countries.
