Russia and Ukraine

[Leonardo17]

According to Wikipedia, Russia has 5,977 nuclear warheads. And of course modern ones are more powerful than the ones they had during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

God knows how many of those are functional considering the state of other Russian equipment 

Remember that Kennedy convinced Russia to stand down by standing down US missiles in Turkey. The USSR didn't want enemy missiles so close, just as the USA didn't want them in Cuba. 

Yup which is irrelevant really 

Nearby nukes are considered a provocation. Fortunately, both Sweden and Finland have announced that even if they join NATO they will not accept nukes being based in their countries.

So Russia's justifications are even weaker then 

Still, I believe they must go and become fuel for our clean energy transition.
 
China, India, Israel, that’s fine. Pakistan doesn’t look too dangerous for now. But Russia no. Not because they are not a democracy. They are too unstable. What if he decides to sell those weapons to some nations. (Who can say he wouldn’t do that?).
 
So I think they must go or be greatly diminished after this war.
