What?

Do they know what the Russian force doctrine is? Is the Crimea worth a nuke on New York?

"Do they know what the Russian force doctrine is? Is the Crimea worth a nuke on New York?"

The answer to the first question: to advance, huff, puff and gesture like southwestern Europeans while making threats, then retreat.

Answer to the second question: there will be no "nuke on New York," so the question was invalid. Russia might be capable of physically launching a few before seeing all of its ground positions destroyed, and anything that made it into the air would be destroyed before reaching us.

Much propaganda has been issued about weapons capabilities of Russia and the West. All that Russia can do in its new effort to conquer the world is to try to win enough hearts and minds in the West to try to affect western politics. Not surprisingly, they've seen more success with that in recently convincing some Baby Boomer and Gen-X Americans (spoiled rotten).
