There was another discussion on Reddit where the OP asked, "Who would win if the US fought Russia," and all these commenters were going on about how we would kick their ass. Have they not heard that Russia still has nukes, and have they not considered whether Putin would use them if he were desperate?

Russia is losing a conventional war in Ukraine, against Ukraine.

They would lose a conventional war to the US much faster.

Nukes against Nukes? Russia loses again. But no one would be around for a victory parade, maybe.

The US has a larger, more modern nuclear triad than Russia. So if Russia launches their weapons, US launches their weapons. Germany launches their weapons. France launches their weapons. UK launches their weapons.

Who wins in that exchange? China and India.

This nation elected an orange buffoon with no credentials, they're incapable of processing a nuclear threat.
