Russia decreased their budget ... leaving them fewer options to choose from if things get dicey ... making nukes a choice they would be +x% more likely to make.

Even for tiny values of "x" I still can't call this a decided improvement on the nuclear risk.

Thats true, but they would not attack then in the first place, like they did in the video. And given that allmost no one from the mainstream media wrote about the budget cut and that they rather make fictive attack dokus, makes me allmost count this piece as propaganda.
