Yes, Russia's economy might be 1/10th the size of the US economy, but Russia still has a larger nuclear arsenal than the US, and can end the war by utterly destroying the US, while being destroyed itself in return, in far less time than it took for the Japanese to conduct the first of the two bombing raids against Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941, or for the Germans to seize the first polish town after crossing the frontier on September 1, 1939

I wonder what would happen if Putey pushed the button?  Maintenance does not seem to be a big Russki priority.
