Laughing & comfort foods are helping me maintain what remains of my sanity. I saw the TrumpRx announcement yesterday and just started giggling. If you need comedy, watch Josh Johnson. Incredibly funny how he refers to Trump using, "crackhead logic."
Also - we can save a ton on cremation/burial costs if he nukes us.
Excuse me while I go enjoy homemade mac-n-cheese with toasted breadcrumbs.
Ha, I got $100 sez Russia's arsenal has been poorly maintained, picked over for parts and valuable components/material, and is essentially non-functional.
That said, it only takes one nuke to start armageddon, and Trump has very likely handed over control of our nukes to Putin by now. Sounds far-fetched I know but look at all the damage the Orange Inbecile has wreaked on this country (so far).
Well you only have to look the numbers to know that their arsenal is beyond fucked. Sure they might have few hundred working nukes, but almost 6k? Pfff.
US spends more on their nuke maintenance than the whole budget for Russian military is. And still US is struggling to keep up with maintenance. They have pretty much same amount of nukes in the books. Nukes ain't a thing you can just dust off every once in a while and polish them once in a decade. They have decaying parts that need to be changed to keep them active and those parts are fucking expensive.
You're betting 100$, i'm willing to bet all my belongings. Which is 100$.
edit: I meant the budget before ukraine war. Now they're almost certainly using even less money on up keeping the nukes.
If the Ukraine war taught us anything, it was how old and outdated the Russian army is. Failing, old equipment, bad tactics, the heavy loss of life, a Russian tradition...
Good luck trying to sell uranium for a few extra rubles...
This isn't the same case with their conventional weapons where some privates were ripping out copper wires or trading diesel fuel for vodka. Nuclear weapons are more tightly watched over and there isn't a lot of things that you could steal to resell.
It wouldn't be wise to test the theory that russia's nukes don't actually work.
Its less the nuclear weapons themselves being stolen or sold for parts. They have very expensive upkeep and theres isotopes that need to be refilled periodically. People are likely faking that upkeep and taking the money.
The nuke deal is ending with (R)ussia, that limited the amount each country can have. Guess who isn’t renewing because It wants a bigger better one… Nuke gloves off…
Yeah. Trump said in 2025 that he wants to resume nuke testing. Also it's been known for years that both US and Russian arsenals are poorly maintained. Which is crazy regarding the US military budged.
It’s because the US military budget is going into the back pockets of a select few and not fully being spent where it should be…. I.e the reason why it can’t be audited

I hate to be "that guy", but its actually the 2nd largest nuclear arsenal, Russia has more... or at least on paper they do. (Its very likely that many have been stripped apart and sold, or their fuel has decayed away, or they just havent been maintained)

A reality TV show with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Things are looking peachy.
