I do wonder about the intelligence of military officers if this hasn't occurred to them. They still seem to think we're living in the 1940s and that the number of troops you have is it at all relevant to your military success in a third world war conflict.
I suppose it's possible that Russia has select all of the corrupt generals sell off all of the nuclear weapons, and they actually don't have any left, but it would be a bit of a risk to take.
