Their military budget has shrunk 40% since sanctions kicked in for invading Ukraine.

Their demographics are rough for building a military with a stagnant or even shrinking population.

Their kids are draft dodgers or so addicted to drugs or out of shape for their now 1 year of military service.

Their Cold War era equipment is wearing out. Their new stuff is crap or vaporware.

Thanks. That does make me feel safer.

Still 16 TU-160 bombers carrying several nuclear cruise missiles could be deadly.
