This seems very odd considering for the last 10 years we’ve all been repeatedly told that Trump is a “Russian asset” and “Putin’s puppet”

Yes but the very important difference was when Russia armed Vietnam to protect it from US invasion it wasn't giving them weapons to strike US oil facilities on US soil.

And you are just a neocon bot. If you feel so strongly you can volunteer and go sit in a trench in eastern Ukraine. Until then you are just an internet coward who wants someone else to fight and die for your cause.

Ukraine hitting Russian military and energy targets connected to Russia’s invasion is not the same as NATO attacking Moscow, and it is not the same as Russia attacking American facilities inside the United States. That distinction is exactly why Russia bitches, threatens, and escalates rhetorically, but still stops short of openly striking NATO territory.

But going from “Russia’s nuclear capability is degraded” to “there is nothing left” is fantasy. They do not need a perfect arsenal to cause a catastrophe. They only need enough working weapons and delivery systems to make direct war with NATO a possibility.
That is the whole point of nuclear deterrence. It does not require Russia to have some flawless Soviet superweapon stockpile. It only requires enough surviving capability that nobody sane wants to test whether the other 90% rotted away.
And, dude, your ESL is showing.

soviet shill, "Texit" won't succeed; your russia will likely collapse, which would be amusing.
Actually, I wouldn't want that, because all the orcs would flood my beautiful country again. Better for them to remain forever behind a high wall topped with barbed wire and build their "communism paradise" alongside China.

So you do not know that Russia is less socialistic/communist than western Europe these days or will they always be Soviets to you?
On that note, you should be in Minn, Cal, Ore or Was fighting full fledged communists instead of posting dribble here.

Why would they use missiles if they're so successful at cybercrime, for e.g... They've flooded all the G7 countries with their orcs, and it's more effective than any weapon, undermining the foundations of our civilization.

The question is whether it is rational to assume Russia has no usable nuclear capability left and therefore treat direct escalation with them as low-risk.
Russia using cheaper asymmetric tools does not prove its missile force is fake. It proves Russia prefers tools that create damage while staying below the threshold of open war with the USA. That is exactly the same escalation logic I’m talking about.
Cyberattacks, influence ops, sabotage, proxies, and threats all let Russia pressure the West without forcing the kind of direct response that launching missiles at Western countries would invite. That does not mean the nuclear threat is imaginary. It means they understand the difference between harassment and direct war.

We are at war with Iran, one of Russia's biggest allies. This comes after we ousted Maduro in Venezuela, who was another huge ally to Putin/Russia.
The threat of nukes isn't a talking point after those 2 operations. That's such a 2023 talking point.
You could argue it's more of a talking point if we're putting their backs against a wall

BS, putin said that he is going to "re-build ussr" in 2008 yet. You're either naively underestimating or deliberately downplaying. LINK
I am pretty well informed about commies in the USA + EU constantly underlining: this is COMINTERN china + russia + iran + their proxies are behind. These are systemic and ideological enemies of our Civilization, not friends.
russia exploits right-wing organizations and polarizes societies
On January 3, 2025, Aleksandr Dugin posted on X: "If we don't kill them they kill us. Everywhere - US, UK, Europe, Ukraine and elsewhere. Let finish them first." LINK
LINK
Dugin's ideas have influenced the MAGA communism movement, which combines elements of nationalism and anti-globalism, promoting a multipolar world that supports russia, iran, and china against the United States. This movement, represented by figures like Haz Al-Din and Jackson Hinkle, draws on Dugin's anti-American sentiments and his vision of a new political order.
