you keep referencing the U.S. as the largest arsenal in the world when in fact its Russia
I guess you say this for impact
Do you know how Russians count their nukes? They count everything they have.
They still have Topol's and Iskanders, not to mention Satana - 40, 30 and 20-years-old missiles respectively. Effective service period for Soviet nukes is 10 years, then nuclear charge loses stability and should be replaced with new one, while old one serves as fuel for Russian nuclear stations. The last plutonium-processing plant in Russia was closed back in 2002, because they had no money to upgrade it. Therefore, since 2012 there are NO STRIKE-READY NUKES IN RUSSIA.
In case Putin presses the red button he will launch empty tubes. They can be filled with toxins, bacteries or mines - but not with nukes.
And just to make you laugh a bit more... Military should test their weponry regularly, right? Russians also test their nukes, by launching them to strike the practice target while evading their anti-missile-defense systems, so that both nuclear fore and nuclear defense force get a training. I know the results of these tests for the last 6 years... and they are unbelievable....
Nearly 9 of 10 missiles DON'T EVEN FLY WHERE THEY HAVE TO. 2/10 fail to start, 4/10 explode in flight and 3/10 fly IN WRONG DIRECTION. Only 1/10 is able to hit the target and is easily intercepted by their anti-nuke defense forces.
This simple statistics effectively cuts RUssian nuke force to 1 000 missiles against 9 000 the US currently fields.
And to finish - Soviet union made details for their weaponry all over the union. Tank hulls and engines were made in Kharkiv, turrets and barrels at Yekaterinburg, missile hulls at Dnepropetrovsk, missile control units in Kharkiv, aircraft hulls in Kiev, aircraft engines in Zaporozhye. Do you get what I say? RUSSIA RECEIVED 40-70% OF MISSILE COMPONENTS FROM UKRAINE.
Till 2014. Till the Crimea annexation. Tillthe war in Donbass. Now they receive only a big bag of dicks from Ukraine. What the results are? You can review the results of their space program for the last year.
18th of May - launch of Proton, explosion after a minute of flight, secret satellite falling in China and Xi JingPing fucking mr. Putin to the face and to the ass for a permission to take it back.
August launch - explosion in flight
November launch on Canaverol of Russian-Ukrainian-American complex - explosion on start, during the ignition of Russian module.
Launch this May, postponed 3 times - and they lost the Progress ship with food for the astronauts and their Victory banner... Oh my fucking God, that banner was sacred for the nation and they burned it down because their space industry is in shit now...
To add some more - they tried to replace Ukrainian components with their own. Result - Angara, 100% Russian missile could not ignite for 3 times!!!! 3 times, Carl!!! And then it exploded in flight...
Here is another footage of Russian missile launch. I think all of you have seen it, but if somebody did not -
here you go.
Russia has 10 000 missiles. 0 of them are nukes but can carry other weaponry. 9/10 will not even fly where they should with a risk of unleashing toxins and bacteria over Russian soil. The rest 1000 will be shot down with anti-nuke defense long before reaching US coasts.
Do you still really believe that Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal? phew...
Why do politicians say otherwise? Because they want you to believe that only their efforts stop Putin from pressing the red button.
As for Trump - I watched the video above - I really cannot take this clown seriously. As for election results - time will tell. I hope Americans have brains.
