  NOBODY WANTS YOUR GOD FORSAKEN ROCKS, RUSSIA!
context: Nobody was going to invade Russia.  Nobody is going to invade Russia.   Russia should consider not invading other countries without provocation- it may help them.  Just a few thoughts... >
  
  There are huge areas in Russia where the population never saw electricity or running water in their lives. 
  Just to bring all those areas to a minimum western standard would cost more than all the gas in these areas ist worth.
  WHY would anyone invade those areas in the first place? >
  
  Global warming? If today's frozen tundra is tomorrows breadbasket Siberia looks tempting. >
  
  i've heard this before and i'll tell you, the tundra will turn into a cold steppe and still be totally useless for agriculture. Russia is going to suffer some of the worst effects of climate change because of it. >
  
  Melting ice at the north pole will open up new shipping lanes that'll be great for Russia from what I've heard >
  
  Not when the three largest blue water navies in the world are all allied and have their own relevant claims in the area. Russia is at the point it is having to self insure its shipping fleet. They are nowhere close to being able to actively control any new arctic shipping lanes. >
  
  Well self insuring isn't that tricky though. >
  
  It is if you can’t afford to pay for the clean up after an oil spill or the fines for crashing in the suez. >
  
  As if they would give a shit about fines >
  
  With what money and resources? >
  
  The same ones that are producing fleets of T14s and SU57s that are running rampant through Ukraine... oh wait. >
  
  Half of your country doesn't even have plumbing but sure, pour what little money you have into making more nukes on top of the THOUSANDS you already have. You know, just in case there's a 2nd and 3rd secret planet you want to blow up. >
  
  TBH, this actually screams to me that they did a full inventory of their systems, and found out that their operational nukes are far fewer than they would like. >
  
  I wonder who currently has more Russian tanks?  Russia or Ukraine? >
  
  Probably still those Ukrainian farmers in their barns. >
  
  Sell them to collectors on Amazon ! >
  
  How about developing friendliness? >
  
  The paranoia of a dictator has prevented that for decades. >
  
  Nobody wants what Russia has, there's no danger here. >
  
  Your honor, everything was fine until dickless here decided to turn off the power grid. >
  
  Is this true? >
  
  Yes, it's true. This man has no dick >
  
  What a movie >
  
  Cute Russia is worried about its sovereignty? You know while having zero respect for all the countries near it. >
  
  Maybe they're aware they deserve to lose their sovereignty..? >
  
  I'm counting on China to do it within a decade. >
  
  Another great guarantee is the fact that nobody wants your swamp-ass country because they'd have to actually start taking care of its citizens. >
  
  My brother in christ, you can't stop your only aircraft carrier from catching fire IN DOCK >
  
  Russia can't even develop it's own infrastructure properly let alone more nukes. There are a lot of places in Russia without electricity or running water. It doesn't need more nukes or submarines. What it needs are proper government and proper infrastructure. >
  
  Or.....you could make your people happy and build learning centers and make your country fun and bring in tourism and be a part of the world instead of hating everyone. >
  
  Hey Russia, no one gives a fuck about you as long as you stay within your borders. >
  
  Bro, not a fucking soul is attacking Russia 
  Cunts are deadass the kid sticking the stick in his bike wheel meme 
  Actively stays has the most imperialistic nation in Europe and openly threats and taunts other nations 
  Invades Ukraine and it goes horrible wrong and all Ukraine wants is it’s land back
  “Omg we have to protect our sovereignty from the imperialist west” >
  
  Who is gonna build them when the smart men are leaving the country for good and the dumb ones in uniform?
  Olga, Natasha and the rest of the Pelmini-factory? >
  
  Maybe. Right now Russia should be worrying about surviving. Their economy has gone to shit. Sanctions are wrecking manufacturing. Gas is down to well below the price cap set by the West. It'll be awhile before Russia is able to do anything about their military at this point. If anything is to be done with it, it sure as shit isn't going to be in putins time. Whether he has cancer or not he's probably not going to survive the next 10 years. >
  
  Is the Russian economy really going to the dumpster? The average urban Russian seems somewhat indifferent. >
  
  So...
  North Korea 2.0
  What a waste of a people. >
  
  Maybe they are worried how many of them are actually in working condition. Based on the level of corruption and incompetence could be far less. >
  
  Ah yes, because they don't have enough nukes apparently. >
  
  They are brain washed and delusional, literally no one wants there land lol >
  
  They always had and still have sovereignty. It's them denying other states to have their sovereignty. They want to take independent countries over by invading them. Sick of Russia bullshit. >
  
  There's really no need for it. NOBODY wants Russia. >
  
  Who is going to build them? Where are they going to get the high tech components (from washing machines?) And more importantly, who is going to operate them, when you're killing off your own military? >
  
  Man, Russia is speed running itself to being North Korea 2.0. >
  
  I think just stopping aggression could be Russia's main guarantee of security. Particularly internal security. That's what I think. >
  
  Says the country with the worst record of respecting the sovereignty of its neighbors going back literally centuries.  The more I learn about how Russian governments targeted their neighbors in every conceivable way to either control by weaponized migrants and generational conversion or by brute force always using terrorism like mass rape and genocide the more I realize Russia can't get along with the west, it's hardwired into their culture and ways of government both subtly and blatantly to see western diplomacy and its systems of agreements as vulnerabilities to be exploited and capitalized on with the sole purpose being domination through any means necessary. 
  The same can mostly be said for China too. They see western trust and agreements as something to exploit, agreements to adhere to only as a means of restraining the west so long as it's beneficial to them and the moment they think they found an opportunity to capitalize on it to hinder the west they will absolutely do so. 
  They live with the mindset of the 1940s but with the technology of today, a dangerous combination.
  They don't know the meaning of sovereignty, just that if other countries have it then Russia will seek to undermine it. It exists to be violated as far as Russia is concerned. >
  
  Very well put. >
  
  Literally fucking NO ONE wants to invade Russia. No one. 
  Christ almighty these liars are exhausting >
  
  Fk'n morons can't pay for and maintain the shit they got now. Let them try... I'm old enough to remember how the west bankrupted the USSR with the arms race. A repeat of that and another breakup at the end is just fine! >
  
  I mean, they’re not wrong, but mostly because it seems their conventional forces can’t do shit. >
  
  I'm sure no one actually believes this? They just do not have the money. Their economy is in shambles, they are losing a very expensive war and everything they say is merely rhetoric to try and make the worry worts more scared in the US.
  It's simple mathematics. In fact, their current nuke arsenal most likely doesn't even work except for their main strategic nuclear weapons.
  The US has the GDP to keep ALL of our nukes operational, Russia barely had the GDP to keep fighting in Ukraine. >
  
  It’s more nuanced than that.
  You can theoretically run an entire economy on zero money using force alone or print infinite money. But only so long as the people you’re doing it with don’t put a stop to it, or you start relying on anything foreign, because foreign cash they most definitely don’t have an awful lot to work with on a time scale that developing nukes requires. 
  The real question because can they do it using 
  1. Everything (knowhow, fissile material, other needed inputs) that they have domestically? Plus…
  2. Anything dual-use they can easily smuggle inside (so for, say, compute, use off-the-shelf general purpose equipment rather than purpose built gear, plus…
  3. For sanctioned inputs that can’t be satisfied using dual-use stuff but which you need in relatively small quantities, snuggle small quantities in.
  Perun will eventually make a video about it. Until then I’m going to wildly guess they’ll keep on sinking money into this military novelty bling toilet until exactly the day Putin’s successor comes to power.
  Stripping down RH entire military while only funding the nuclear triad is a deep, personal putin thing. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Russia will continue to develop its nuclear triad, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday.
  President Vladimir Putin's defense minister Sergei Shoigu told top generals on Tuesday that Russia will continue to develop its nuclear inventory, as part of a promise to build a stronger military.
  "We will continue to develop the nuclear triad and maintain its combat readiness because the nuclear shield remains the main guarantee of our country's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Shoigu said, per the Russian news agency Tass.

  We gotta make the war go slowly and wait till putting dies or something >
  
  Develop them with what resources?  Gonna make a sub out of Oil? >
  
  With what money? >
  
  China won't need to invade Russia to own it. >
  
  In other words every other weapon platform they developed turned out to be third world technology >
  
  LMAO, lets see how that goes with sanctions. I wouldn't take a flight on a Russian own airplane right now, much less get in a submarine built in the aftermath of this. They aren't able to do these things without western tech, they clearly aren't smart enough. >
  
  When you can’t measure up conventionally >
  
  Well it would appear that is the  reason some countries have Nukes in the first place , I mean , is that not the reason why  some other countries are working on acquiring them , exactly what is the message you are trying to send  , if they don't want to invade you now being that it appears that you are at a low point in your military status you think tweaking your artillery is going to change that  , like the one other post said , nobody wants your land ,  so grow the Fuck Up and get along . >
  
  Ah yes - keep selling this story to the ruzzian population in order to keep them in fear and not question the rampant corruption and hollowing out of the economy and their collective future by their government. >
  
  They dont declare it, they pledge it! >
  
  
  its main guarantee of sovereignty
  
  and before they were so "dependant". One of the worst countries in the world before the invasion
  , and today the territory without any future.
