    They could still win (and lose) in three days. It all depends on who gets the first nuclear strike.

      There are enough warheads on both sides that no “first strike” could get all or even most. It’s lose/lose any time.

          I just watched the British film ‘Threads’ about a nuclear exchange. Idk, how much nuclear winter will we need to counteract the global heating over the last 50 years?

      It also depends on Russian nukes not being made of cardboard. Or Trump selling him the US arsenal.

        The Military Industrial Complex is more powerful than the oligarchy, I’m sure they’ll coup before they lose the nukes.

          • they are part of the oligarchy
          • do they car about “loosing the nukes”? As long as they continue to build replacements and are allowed to continue their maintanace in Russia they will not care who sits at the launch button. They want to get paid.
