Russia is broke and full of derelics, Remember when they shelled turkey, completely missing Syria, oops. Here, have some more vodka.
Russia has plenty of nukes to destroy the northern hemisphere so even if they miss most of us won't live to tell the story. Money is nothing but paper gold is nothing but a soft metal. A nuclear arsenal is much more valuable because it can have an actual use and that Satan 2 missile can basically destroy England a miss will still be horrible.
Not to mention they are pretty close to American troops on the battlefield in conventional war. I believe it was on CNN I saw it they are just as bad ass IMO. We can't beat them but they can't beat us in chess they call it a stalemate in real life it's called Mutually Assured Destruction.
Have some more Bourbon why don't you?
