Russia lies alway. They are a paper tiger with nukes( aging ) If Nato chose to go nuclear first strike , (which it would never) Russia would die in a matter of hours. perhaps they could get some missiles off but not many. If Nato decided to go conventional there is nothing on earth Russia could do to stop it. It would be over in 2 months. Russia only wants to keep a buffer with Nato so they can invade non Nato countries. We need the Ukraine and Finland in and Turkey out . They are little better than North Korea. its not that hard and its obvious. Russia is evil
