    Pootie’s nukes have been maintained by notorious black market scalpers for decades. It’s extremely unlikely that most of the delivery systems would still be functional enough to make it to a target. There is a litany of critical components on a warhead delivery system that are high-value and easy to replace with phony parts. Not to mention how highly valuable rocket fuels are.

    Also, the west has invested very heavily in secret defense tech for the last several decades. It’s kind of our full-time hobby and is the U.S.'s single biggest expense by far.
