Content: The more nuclear toys you have, the bigger your problem over time. If you don’t use your nuclear arsenal, you have to maintain it. The problem: with oil and gas prices plummeting, I doubt that Russia has sufficient economic muscle to maintain its rapidly rotting nuclear infrastructure, but will never admit how bad its problems have become, until each revelation cannot be covered up any longer. Perhaps the Russian government have their own definition of what honesty means (reference: Chernobyl, 2016 Olympics doping scandals, etc). A leaking nuclear infrastructure over much of Europe can make a mockery of the traditional definitions of what power means. Remember, we are not in 1943. The world is massively different! Today’s toys of war can be planetary in nature, and historically, Europe is where the action seems to happen.
