Russia has weapons, yes, but they know the retaliation would be massive and thoroughly destructive and probably finish them as any kind of power.
The dems, on the other hand, seem to have zero fear of retaliation, and try to get away with everything they can, thanks to years of GOP spinelessness.
Hence... my point.
Agree, but it sucks leaving the survival of the country in the hands of good Russian judgement, given that the Democrats are simply unable to behave responsibly.
