   @jalefkowit @malwaretech @aiefel All of which was before we found out that Russia is a paper tiger. If they did have the capacity to attack other countries in Europe, which seems doubtful, they certainly don't now.

     @todwest @jalefkowit @malwaretech @aiefel Sure, but there are still always the nukes.

     @todwest @jalefkowit @malwaretech @aiefel Hard agree, but that "don't want to find out the hard way" part is what dominates the calculus. Believe me; I wish it didn't.

     @roadriverrail @jalefkowit @malwaretech @aiefel They won't use them. And if their nuclear arsenal is in the same shape as their conventional stuff, do any of them still work? Nuclear warhead triggers are extremely expensive and difficult to maintain even under ideal circumstances. I certainly don't think we'd want to find out the hard way, but tritium doesn't grow on trees.
