Buying one way tickets to hell for Russian soldiers by selling off Russia's gold and treasure... What will be left when all the humans and gold have been carelessly traded away by Putin to power the mindless Russian war machine?

Let's hope the old soviet nukes doesn't work any more, they are insanely expensive to maintain, are supposed to never actually being used or even tested any more (by international treaties, and when donald said he'd do testing, the ruskies were not on the forefront wanting to "test too") and russia is one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

It's like having inherited 6000 wheels of old cheese in 1991. "Maybe one of them works?"

Abd if they launch one, be it dirty, their whole country will be melted to glass so ...

Additionally, three persons must "turn the key" to launch a russian nuke so maybe everyone isn't insane over there.

Well, russia has done some nuclear tests recently. But I suppose that these were freshly manufactured bombs just to show off the "existing threat" from russia itself. So, I suppose that it has a few working nuclear bombs that can be used. But, agree, most of others probably are just so called dirty bombs by now.

Are you sure about that? I can inly find they tested very small yield bombs up to 2019, no termo nukes or so.

Maybe, not 100%. I read in news that they started nuclear trainings. And I supposed that that also meant that they nuked some deserted area in their country for training purposes. I suppose that I may be incorrect then and they simply doing even more showing off.

What I have seen (read) is only sabre rattling with different nuclear launch vehicles (so only the rockets, missiles etc. not the nuclear payload itself), and one of them being nuclear driven for some bizarre reason.
