On the mid/long term they want Taiwan back into the fold. And the US and oddly the EU seem to be ready to start a war over that. Which, like I’ve said we can’t win.

The US and Russia were inspecting each-other’s nuclear stockpiles and are/were part of several disarmament treaties which are falling apart one by one. Is there any credible authority claiming that the Russian nuclear arsenal does not fulfill its deterrent role?

Inspecting the stockpiles doesn't verify if the warheads are in operable state, does it?

No, only getting nuked with them does with 100% certainty.

And you really believe that a country that can’t even make ordinary cars is able to refurbish nuclear weapons?

Reminder: Russia is not USSR, it’s USSR’s retarded offspring. It’s only got a minor fraction of capabilities USSR had.
