    Seriously, short of a nuke, how much can he actually escalate? He’s basically thrown what he can at them without risking any other front. This is an empty threat.

      Imagine if Russia had any nukes with plutonium left in them!

        I imagine they still have fissile material in them, since that is hard to move without intelligence agencies catching wind. Other parts, rocket fuel, etc. very well may have been stolen.

        But we should treat them as though they still have nukes, even if we think our defenses could overcome them.
