Too many people forget that the Russians still have more nukes (WMDs) than anybody else, and that to this day they are continuing to develop more capable ICBMs. Putin made a big deal in January 2004 about how their latest ICBM will allegedly be able to penetrate current and future defenses.
And let's face it, Russia is still the biggest WMD proliferator the world over (can anyone say Iran?). They are also working overtime to turn Europe against us, etc. etc. If you asked me, Russia and Red China are the most dangerous nations on earth at the present moment.
