Practically, if Russia wanted to launch a nuclear attack, it wouldn't send a geriatric alcoholic out to make an announcement, and if we were going to attack Russia, we wouldn't announce submarine deployments in advance. With Russia's record in engineering and maintenance, there is a non-zero chance that its nuclear arsenal has been disabled by mice nesting in the controls.

A high-profile, public reaction to Russian threats has been needed for years. While we may not take Russia's bluster all that seriously, what we ignore is that Russia's threat messages aren't aimed at us.

Hopefully, this will also be a sign to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the stories he read about Russia's influence over President Trump in the Washington Post were fake news and a warning to the Russian simps who have been invited into the Defense Department in large numbers that it's time to choose a side. //
